It has been alleged that during the Class Period, HP and certain of its officers and directors made materially false and misleading statements or failed to disclose material information related to the companya™s business and operations in violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Specifically, it is claimed that HP and the other defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose the following adverse facts: (a) HPa™s business model was not working because the company was unable to leverage its extensive portfolio and scale of products and services in a strategically beneficial manner; (b) webOS, the TouchPad and the PC business were not central to HPa™s business model and webOS would not be integrated across Hewlett-Packarda™s entire product line; (c) the TouchPad hardware was inefficient, limiting the degree of effectiveness of the webOS operating system; and (d) based on the foregoing, defendants lacked a reasonable basis for their positive statements about HPa™s turnaround, revenue growth rates, market share, new product introductions, diluted EPS, and the companya™s ability to deliver upon its long-term growth model. As a result of these alleged false statements, HPa™s stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period, reaching a high of $48.99 per share on February 16, 2011.
