Shareholder class action complaints
On August 16, 2021, two purported ATI shareholders, Kevin Burbige and Ziyang Nie, filed a putative class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against ATI; Labeed Diab, Joe Jordan, and Drew McKnight (collectively, the “ATI Individual Defendants”); and Joshua Pack, Marc Furstein, Leslee Cowen, Aaron Hood, Carmen Policy, Rakefet Russak-Aminoach, and Sunil Gulati (collectively, the “FVAC Defendants”). The Burbige/Nie complaint asserted claims against: (i) ATI and the ATI Individual Defendants under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”); (ii) the ATI Individual Defendants under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act; and (iii) all defendants under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act. Plaintiffs Burbige and Nie purported to assert their claims on behalf of those ATI shareholders who purchased or otherwise acquired their ATI shares between April 1, 2021 and July 23, 2021, inclusive, and/or held FVAC Class A common shares as of May 24, 2021 and were eligible to vote at FVAC’s June 15, 2021 special meeting.
On October 7, 2021, another purported ATI shareholder, City of Melbourne Firefighters’ Retirement System (“City of Melbourne”), filed a putative class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against ATI, the ATI Individual Defendants, and the FVAC Defendants. Like the Burbige/Nie complaint, the City of Melbourne complaint asserted claims against (i) ATI and the ATI Individual Defendants under Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act; (ii) the ATI Individual Defendants under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act; and (iii) all defendants under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act. City of Melbourne purported to assert its claims on behalf of those ATI shareholders who purchased or otherwise acquired their ATI shares between February 22, 2021 and July 23, 2021, inclusive, and/or held FVAC Class A common shares as of May 24, 2021 and were eligible to vote at FVAC’s June 15, 2021 special meeting.
On November 18, 2021, the court consolidated the cases and appointed The Phoenix Insurance Company Ltd. and The Phoenix Pension & Provident Funds as Lead Plaintiffs (“Lead Plaintiffs”) and Pomerantz LLP as Lead Counsel. On February 8, 2022, Lead Plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint against ATI, the ATI Individual Defendants, and the FVAC Defendants, which asserts claims against (i) ATI and the ATI Individual Defendants under Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act; (ii) the ATI Individual Defendants under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act (in connection with the Section 10(b) claim); (iii) all defendants under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act; and (iv) the ATI Individual Defendants and the FVAC Defendants under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act (in connection with the Section 14(a) claim). Lead Plaintiffs purport to assert these claims on behalf of those ATI shareholders who purchased or otherwise acquired their ATI shares between February 22, 2021 and October 19, 2021, inclusive, and/or held FVAC Class A common shares as of May 24, 2021 and were eligible to vote at FVAC’s June 15, 2021 special meeting. The consolidated amended complaint, like the predecessor Burbige/Nie and City of Melbourne complaints, generally alleges that the proxy materials for the FVAC/ATI merger, as well as other ATI disclosures (including the press release announcing ATI’s financial results for the first quarter of 2021), were false and misleading (and, thus, in violation of Sections 10(b) and 14(a) of the Exchange Act) because they failed to disclose that: (i) ATI was experiencing attrition among its physical therapists; (ii) ATI faced increasing competition for clinicians in the labor market; (iii) as a result, ATI faced difficulty retaining therapists and incurred increased labor costs; (iv) also as a result, ATI would open fewer new clinics; and (v) also as a result, the defendants’ positive statements about ATI’s business, operations, and
