About the Lawsuit

Wells Fargo and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws. 

On April 5, 2020, the Company proclaimed that it had received significant interest in a program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"), and intended to distribute a total of $10 billion to small business customers through it. Then, on May 5, 2020, the Company disclosed that it had been sued in multiple lawsuits relating to its involvement with the PPP and had also "received formal and informal inquiries from federal and state governmental agencies regarding its offering of PPP loans."

On this news, the price of Wells Fargo's shares plummeted.

The case is Ma v. Wells Fargo & Company, et al, No. 20-cv-03697.
