The class action, filed in United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, and indexed under 20-cv-00460, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities other than Defendants who purchased or otherwise acquired Six Flags securities between April 25, 2018 and January 9, 2020, inclusive (the "Class Period"), seeking to recover damages caused by Defendants' violations of the federal securities laws and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, against the Company and certain of its top officials.

Headquartered in Grand Prairie, Texas, Six Flags is the largest regional theme park operator in the world, with 26 parks across North America. In addition to generating revenue by operating its parks throughout North America, Six Flags also earns revenue pursuant to international licensing agreements to assist third parties in the development and management of Six Flags-branded parks outside of North America. As compensation for exclusivity, brand licensing rights, and design, development and management services, the Company receives fees during the planning, design and development phase of each park and then would receive royalties and management fees once the park is operational.

On June 23, 2014, Six Flags announced the signing of an agreement to build multiple Six Flags-branded theme parks in China. Six Flags partnered exclusively with Riverside Investment Group Co. Ltd. ("Riverside"), a Chinese real estate developer, that would provide the capital investment for future developments in China. The Company emphasized expansion of its international licensing agreements as one of its key strategies to achieve revenue growth, and Six Flags' agreements with Riverside to develop parks in China were of particular importance to investors because they represented the largest potential driver of growth in this strategic initiative.

By May 29, 2018, Six Flags had announced plans with Riverside to develop 11 parks across three locations in China.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Six Flags' licensing agreements with Riverside would not result in the benefits that Defendants had publicly represented; and (ii) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

The truth began to emerge on February 14, 2019, when the Company surprised investors by announcing a negative revenue adjustment of $15 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 related to the Company's agreements with Riverside due to delays in the expected opening dates of some of the parks in China, which the Company blamed on macroeconomic issues in China. As a result, Six Flags reported a 38% decline in the Company's sponsorship, international agreements and accommodations revenue compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. Six Flags also told investors that it expected weaker-than-anticipated quarterly revenue from its agreements with Riverside in 2019 and 2020.

On these disclosures, the Company's stock price fell $9.00 per share, or 14.09%, to close at $54.87 per share on February 14, 2019.

On October 23, 2019, Six Flags again postponed the timing of its park openings in China, stating that "there's a very high likelihood going forward that we will see changes in the timing of park openings" and "it's unrealistic to think it's going to be exactly as we've outlined." As a result, the Company reported a 26% decline in sponsorship, international agreements and accommodations revenue for the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018.

On these disclosures, Six Flags' stock price fell $6.35 per share, or 12.4%, to close at $44.88 per share on October 23, 2019.

Then, on January 10, 2020, before the market opened, the Company revealed that the future of its China projects was in jeopardy. In particular, the Company announced that the development of the Six Flags-branded parks in China continued to encounter challenges and had not progressed as expected. The Company also reported that Riverside continued to face significant challenges due to the macroeconomic environment and declining real estate market in China, which caused Riverside to default on its payment obligations to Six Flags. Furthermore, the Company told investors that, in the fourth quarter of 2019, it would realize no revenue from its agreements with Riverside and expected a negative $1 million revenue adjustment related to those agreements. The Company also announced one-time charges totaling approximately $10 million related to Riverside's default.

On these disclosures, Six Flags' stock price fell $7.80 per share, or 17.82%, to close $35.96 per share on January 10, 2020.

Aaron's was founded in 1955 and is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. The Company operates as an omnichannel provider of lease-purchase solutions to underserved and credit-challenged customers, and also engages in the sale, lease ownership, and specialty retailing of various products.

Aaron's operates in three reportable segments-Progressive Leasing ("Progressive"), Aaron's Business ("AB"), and Vive Financial, LLC ("Vive"). The Progressive and AB segments are subject to federal regulatory agency oversight and scrutiny, including the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC").

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose: (i) that Aaron's had inadequate disclosure controls, procedures, and compliance measures; (ii) that, consequently, the operations of Aaron's Progressive and AB segments were in violation of the FTC Act and/or relevant FTC regulations; (iii) that, consequently, Aaron's earnings from those segments were partially derived from unlawful business practices and were thus unsustainable; (iv) the full extent of Aaron's liability regarding the FTC's investigation into its Progressive and AB segments, Aaron's noncompliance with the FTC Act, and the likely negative consequences of all the foregoing on the Company's financial results; and (v) that, as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

Then, on February 20, 2020, Aaron's issued a press release announcing the Company's financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2019. Among other results, Aaron's reported that the Company's Progressive segment had reached an agreement in principle with FTC staff regarding the CID from the FTC that Progressive received in July 2018. Aaron's advised investors that "[u]nder the proposed agreement, which requires final approval by FTC Commissioners and the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Progressive will make a payment of $175 million and enhance certain compliance-related activities, including monitoring, disclosure and reporting requirements."

On this news, Aaron's stock price fell $10.70 per share, or 19.06%, to close at $45.45 per share on February 20, 2020.

According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Tilray materially overstated the advantages of its marketing and revenue sharing agreement with Authentic Brands Group (the "ABG Agreement"). The failure of the ABG Agreement to perform was likely to have a significant impact on the Company's financial results. Based on these facts, the Company's public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Tilray, investors suffered damages.

Join the case to recover your losses.
