What is Alleged? As alleged in a recently filed securities fraud class action Complaint, Cogent Communications Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CCOI), through certain of its officers, made materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose materially adverse facts pertaining to Cogent’s business, operations, and financial condition, which were known to or recklessly disregarded by defendants including: (i) that the vast majority of the purported orders in Cogent’s optical wavelength “backlog” were unlikely to ever result in a paid order; (ii) that large quantities of the customers in Cogent’s purported optical wavelength “backlog” were unable or unwilling to accept delivery even if Cogent was in a position to provision the wavelength in a timely manner; (iii) that, as a result of (i)-(ii) above, defendants had materially misrepresented customer demand for Cogent’s optical wavelength services and the nature of Cogent’s purported “backlog” of wavelength orders; (iv) that, as a result of (i)-(iii) above, Cogent was not on track to achieve its revenue and margin targets and such targets lacked a reasonable basis in objective fact; (v) that Cogent did not have the financial capacity or business fundamentals to maintain its long-standing dividend policy; and (vi) that there was a material, undisclosed risk that defendant David Schaeffer would be forced to sell vast quantities of Cogent stock as a result of his high-risk pledging activities, thereby further depressing the price of Cogent stock in the event the truth regarding Cogent’s “backlog,” demand issues, and financial position were ever revealed.
