The Company and certain of its officers and directors were charged with violating certain provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Specifically, the complaint alleges that defendants’ misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (a) the Company was not able to mitigate the effects of dramatically increasing prices for sheepskin; (b) the Company was seeing a decline in demand to a much larger extent than represented due to the unusually warm weather; (c) the Company’s extensive expansion resulted in the over-supply of UGG products, especially its classic products, meeting and/or exceeding demand, which meant that the Company’s price increases for those products were ineffective; (d) the Company’s inventory levels for its UGG brand were increasing rapidly, which led to the increased use of mark-downs and close-outs as the Company experienced declining same store sales and its new retail stores also suffered; and (e) as a result of the foregoing, the Company’s gross margin was negatively impacted. On April 26, 2012, the Company announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2012. Along with disclosing that it missed its projected earnings for that quarter, the Company announced that it was lowering its full-year 2012 guidance. On this news, shares of Deckers common stock dropped more than 25%, closing at $51.83 per share on April 27, 2012 from $69.46 the previous day, on heavy trading volume of over 14 million shares.
