This is a federal securities fraud class action lawsuit on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired the Align Technology, Inc. (“Align” or the “Company”) common stock between May 23, 2018, and October 24, 2018, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”).

Specifically, the complaint alleges Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the Company would offer higher discounts to promote Invisalign; (2) the promotions would materially impact revenue; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects, were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On April 28, 2022, the Court granted the Motion for Final Approval of the Class Action Settlement.  This action has concluded.
