This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). 

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose:  (1) that some of Opus Bank's loans low quality; (2) that Opus Bank was over-representing the quality of the loans to its shareholders; (3) that Opus failed to appropriately account for its loans, violating the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles; (4) that Opus would be forced to account for its large charge-offs in connection with the loans; (5) that Opus lacked suitable internal controls for its accounting and financial reporting; (6) and consequently, Opus Bank's statements regarding its business, operations and prospects were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
