The filed complaint alleges that defendants made false statements and/or concealed that: (1) the Company was experiencing higher net charge-offs and deterioration in its office portfolio; (2) as a result, NYCB was reasonably likely to incur higher loan losses; (3) as a result of the foregoing and NYCB’s status as Category IV bank, the Company was reasonably likely to increase its allowance for credit losses; (4) the Company’s financial results would be adversely affected; (5) to preserve capital, the Company would reduce quarterly common dividend to $0.05 per common share; and (6) as a result of the foregoing, defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
