SUMMARY
Insiders dumping stock before disclosing NY-AG Adware
investigation
Intermix Management and Insiders sold approximately $25,000,000 worth of stock with the full knowledge that an action against the company by the New York State Attorney General for adware promotion was imminent.
The stock was sold before disclosing this critical information to the rest of the marketplace. Management and insiders had the benefit of knowing that a materially adverse event was about to impact their business, and they sold stock with this information in their possession before they disclosed the information appropriately to all stockholders. Insiders were able to unload millions of shares of stock at prices ranging from $7.50 - $8.50 per share. Soon after selling, Management disclosed the event to the public and Intermix stock quickly slumped to $3.91 per share.
