Shareholder Derivative Actions Sample Clauses

Shareholder Derivative Actions. In 2010, two shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California (the “Court”) that were subsequently consolidated for all purposes into a case entitled In re American Apparel, Inc. Shareholder Derivative Litigation, Lead Case No. CV106576 (the “First Derivative Action”). Plaintiffs in the First Derivative Action alleged a cause of action for breach of fiduciary duty arising out of (i) the Company's alleged failure to maintain adequate accounting and internal control policies and procedures; (ii) the Company's alleged violation of state and federal immigration laws in connection with the previously disclosed termination of over 1,500 employees following an Immigration and Customs Enforcement inspection; and (iii) the Company's alleged failure to implement controls sufficient to prevent a sexually hostile and discriminatory work environment. The Company does not maintain any direct exposure to loss in connection with these shareholder derivative lawsuits. The Company's status as a "Nominal Defendant" in the actions reflects that the lawsuits are purportedly maintained by the named plaintiffs on behalf of American Apparel and that plaintiffs seek damages on the Company's behalf. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the First Derivative Action which was granted with leave to amend on July 31, 2012. Plaintiffs did not amend the complaint and subsequently filed a motion to dismiss each of their claims, with prejudice, for the stated purpose of taking an immediate appeal of the Court's July 31, 2012 order. On October 16, 2012, the Court granted the Plaintiffs' motion to dismiss and entered judgment accordingly. On November 12, 2012, Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals where the case is currently pending. In 2010, four shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles (the "Superior Court") which were subsequently consolidated for all purposes into a case entitled In re American Apparel, Inc. Shareholder Derivative Litigation, Lead Case No. BC 443763 (the "State Derivative Action"). Three of the matters comprising the State Derivative Action alleged causes of action for breach of fiduciary duty arising out of (i) the Company's alleged failure to maintain adequate accounting and internal control policies and procedures; and (ii) the Company's alleged violation of state and federal immigrati...

Shareholder Derivative Actions a. On February 23, 2012, an additional lawsuit that relates to the above purported shareholder class action was filed. The lawsuit, Xxx Xxxx x. Xxxxxxx. et al., filed in the Superior Court of California, is a shareholder derivative action, purported to be brought by an individual shareholder on behalf of Powerwave, against certain executive officers and the current directors of Powerwave. Powerwave is also named as a nominal defendant. The allegations of the derivative complaint closely resemble those in the class action and pertain to the time period of February 1, 2011 through October 18, 2011. Based on those allegations, the derivative complaint asserts various claims for breach of fiduciary duty under state law. This case has been stayed pending a resolution of the shareholder class action.
