Gogo, through its subsidiaries, provides inflight broadband connectivity and wireless entertainment services to the aviation industry in the United States and internationally. Gogo’s 2Ku system is an antenna and satellite-based system which provides additional bandwidth and improved speeds for wi-fi on airplanes.

The Class Period commences on February 27, 2017, when Gogo filed an annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 with the SEC, which provided the company’s annual financial results and position.

According to the complaint, on May 4, 2018, Gogo held a conference call. On the call, Gogo’s CEO, Oakleigh Thorne, addressed the de-icing issues and the 2Ku installation, stating in relevant part, “The major cause with deicing fluid getting into the antenna raceways in which the antenna discs spin. We’ve done a thorough analysis of root causes and discovered that while deicing was the biggest issue there are also some manufacturing issues and software issues at fall. We also discovered the deicing fluid entered the antenna ray down through far more pathways than we originally thought. We fixed the software issues and we fixed the manufacturing issues.”

Also, on May 4, 2018, Gogo issued a press release entitled “Gogo Announces First Quarter 2018 Financial Results.” The press release disclosed that Gogo had to restate some of its guidance for 2018. Following this news, the company’s shares fell $1.73 per share or over 18% over the next two trading days to close at $7.86 per share on May 7, 2018.

Finally, on May 7, 2018, after the market closed, Moody’s downgraded Gogo’s credit rating. Following this news, the company’s shares fell $2.80 per share or over 35.6% to close at $5.06 per share on May 8, 2018.

The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Gogo’s 2Ku antenna had more reliability issues than the public was led to believe; (2) Gogo’s 2Ku antennas required costly installation and remediation challenges or required replacement due to deicing fluids from planes infiltrating the 2Ku system as well as manufacturing and software issues; (3) consequently, Gogo would not be able to meet its previously issued 2018 guidance; and (4) as a result, the company’s financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
