Allianz SE (OTC: ALIZY) Shareholder Alert: Robbins LLP Reminds Investors of Lead Plaintiff Deadline in Class Action Against Allianz SE (OTC: ALIZY)

The Class: Robbins LLP reminds investors that a shareholder filed a class action on behalf of persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Allianz SE (OTC: ALIZY) securities between March 9, 2018 and May 17, 2022, for violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Allianz, together with its subsidiaries, provides property-casualty insurance, life/health insurance, and asset management products and services worldwide. Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC (“AGI US”) is a subsidiary of Allianz.

Shareholders who want to act as lead plaintiff for the class must file their papers by April 3, 2023.

What is this Case About: Allianz SE Had Ineffective Internal Controls Allowing its Subsidiary to Engage in Substantial Fraudulent Activity

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants touted the Company's effective internal risk and control system for verifying and monitoring its operating activities and business processes, particularly in financial reporting and compliance with regulatory requirements. In reality (i) Allianz did not have effective internal controls, and (ii) its subsidiary was involved in substantial fraudulent activity, putting Allianz at an increased risk of regulatory scrutiny and substantial financial losses and costs.

On May 17, 2022, Allianz announced that it had booked a provision of 3.7 billion euros in its financial statements of 2021 with regard to “the pending court and governmental proceedings in the U.S. in relation to the Structured Alpha Funds.” The same day, the SEC issued a press release announcing it had charged Allianz Global Investors and three former senior portfolio managers with "a massive fraudulent scheme that concealed the immense downside of a complex options trading strategy they called 'Structured Alpha.'" As a result, AGI US agreed to pay billions of dollars as part of a global resolution, including more than $1 billion to settle SEC charges and together with its parent, Allianz SE, over $5 billion in restitution to victims. The DOJ also brought claims against these defendants. As a result, AGI US pled guilty to securities fraud in connection with this fraudulent scheme, and agreed to pay more than $3 billion in restitution to the innocent victims of this fraud, pay a criminal fine of approximately $2.3 billion, and forfeit approximately $463 million to the Government.
