In its complaint, the S.E.C. alleges that Rite Aid overstated its income in every quarter from May 1997 to May 1999 by huge amounts.
When the wrongdoing was ultimately discovered, Rite Aid was forced to restate its pre-tax income by $2.3 billion and net income by $1.6 billion. It was the largest restatement of corporate earnings in American history.
In November 2000, Rite Aid agreed to pay $45 million in cash plus about $150 million in stock to its shareholders to settle a class-action lawsuit accusing the company of releasing misleading information that artificially inflated its stock price. A federal judge approved the deal last year.
At the beginning of 1999, Rite Aid's stock was trading for more than $50 a share. Today, the company's shares closed at $2.69, up 11 cents.
