In a recently filed federal class action complaint, Green Mountain and certain of its officers and directors were charged with violating the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Specifically, the complaint alleges that during the class period the defendants issued materially false and misleading statements to investors when it failed to disclose that (i) demand for Green Mountainas brewers and portion packs had slowed; (ii) Green Mountainas models for predicting consumer demand were flawed and ineffective; and (iii) as a result of the foregoing, defendants lacked a reasonable basis for their positive statements about Green Mountain and its prospects. According to the complaint, after these came to light in a May 2, 2012 press release, Green Mountainas shares plunged nearly 48% a share.

According to shareholder rights attorney Willie Briscoe, aThe recent revelations about Green Mountainas alleged misrepresentations regarding its business and financial status has led our firms to investigate possible breaches of fiduciary duties and other violations of state law by Green Mountainas officers and directors. Based on our investigation, we are prepared to institute litigation to preserve the company and the value of Green Mountain stock for all shareholders.a
