About the Lawsuit

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

On September 18, 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) accused Volkswagen of installing software called a “defeat device” on 482,000 diesel cars in the U.S. to evade federal emission regulations and trick regulators into thinking that the cars met the standards of the Clean Air Act, potentially exposing people to up to 40 times the standard level of harmful pollutants. The EPA also said that Volkswagen admitted to investigators that it had installed the defeat device. 

On this news, the price of Volkswagen’s ADRs plummeted.
