About the Lawsuit

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

The complaint alleges that, while concealing that the Company's two founders intended to step down as CEO and Chairman, Five Below raised its 2014 sales and earnings guidance twice. With the price of Five Below stock increasing on their misrepresentations, the Company's founders and Chief Financial Officer sold almost $30 million worth of their personally-held shares at fraud-inflated prices.

On December 4, 2014, Five Below disclosed that its sales growth had diminished, it was reducing its annual sales and profit forecasts, and the Company's two founders were resigning as CEO and Chairman, with the newly hired President taking over as CEO. On this news, the price of Five Below stock plummeted.
