NO CLASS HAS YET BEEN CERTIFIED IN THE ABOVE ACTION. UNTIL A CLASS IS CERTIFIED, YOU ARE NOT REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL UNLESS YOU RETAIN ONE. YOU MAY ALSO REMAIN AN ABSENT CLASS MEMBER AND DO NOTHING AT THIS POINT. YOU MAY RETAIN COUNSEL OF YOUR CHOICE.

The complaint alleges that defendants during the Class Period made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) CenturyLink’s policies allowed its employees to add services or lines to accounts without customer permission, resulting in millions of dollars in unauthorized charges to CenturyLink customers; (2) accordingly, CenturyLink’s revenues were the product of illicit conduct and unsustainable; (3) the foregoing illicit conduct was likely to subject CenturyLink to heightened regulatory scrutiny; and (4) as a result, CenturyLink’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On June 16, 2017, Bloomberg reported on a lawsuit recently filed by former CenturyLink employee Heidi Heiser alleging that Heiser was fired days after notifying Chief Executive Officer Glen Post of CenturyLink’s high-pressure sales culture that left customers paying millions of dollars for accounts they didn't request. On this news, shares of CenturyLink fell $1.23 per share or over 4% to close at $25.72 per share on June 16, 2017, damaging investors.
