According to a press release dated July 5, 2005, the complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, the defendants failed to disclose and misrepresented material adverse facts which were known to defendants or recklessly disregarded by them and which caused the defendants to issue materially false and misleading financial projections, among other things, which caused the price of Maytag stock to trade at artificially inflated prices.
