The complaint alleges that, among other allegations, on December 10, 2015, a published report on the Heritage Exchange claimed the Company was operating a “Ponzi-like real estate scheme” in order to raise capital to bail out failing prior vintages of the Company. This news saw United Development shares drop $6.05, or approximately 35%, to close at $11.15 per share. On this same day, the Company issued a press release disclosing that itself, along with a prior vintage of the Company, UDF III, “have been cooperating since April 2014 with a nonpublic fact-finding investigation being conducted by the SEC.” The following day, December 11, 2015, saw the Company’s stock drop an additional $2.60, or approximately 23.3%, to close at $8.55 per share.

If you suffered a loss in United Development you have until February 19, 2016 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn’t require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
