According to the Complaint, during the Class Period, Walter made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose: that its subsidiary Ditech had a material weakness in its internal control over operational processes; that the Company lacked effective internal controls over financial reporting; and that as a result of the above, Walter’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On March 14, 2017, the Company filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Securities & Exchange Commission, reporting its financial and operating results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2016. Walter disclosed that “[a]s of December 31, 2016, we identified a material weakness in internal controls over operational processes within the transaction level processing of Ditech Financial default servicing activities.” When this information reached the investing public, shares of Walter dropped in value.
