According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Papa John’s executives including John H. Schnatter engaged in systemic inappropriate workplace behavior including sexual harassment. The Company’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct was not robust enough to contain the inappropriate actions of its executives. The misconduct could be expected if publicized to harm the Company’s operations and hurt its reputation amongst the general public. Based on these facts, the Company’s statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Papa John’s, investors suffered damages.
Join the case to recover your losses.
