The Complaint alleges that defendants' Class Period statements
about the Company 's strong performance, made in quarterly press
releases and SEC filings, were materially false and misleading
because: (a) as part of its marketing strategy, the Company improperly
paid certain physicians $1,000 for each device implanted in patients;
(b) the Company's strong growth was driven , in material part, by
improperly paying off physicians to recommend and implant ANSI
products in patients; (c) the Company's growth was dependent on an
improper and unethical practices that were inherently unsustainable,
presenting a material and undisclosed risk to ANSI's business and
stock price; and (d) the Company's much-touted relationship with its
physician customers was, in fact, based on payments to physicians for
recommending the Company's products and did not, as defendants
represented, reflect growing acceptance of its products based on their
benefits. In reaction to this announcement, the
price of ANSI common stock plummeted, falling from $37.
