According to the Complaint, the Defendants issued false and misleadingstatements about the Company’s ability to divest its automobile-partmanufacturing business. For most of its 100-year history, Eaton’sprimary focus was vehicle component manufacturing. Since 2008, however,the Company shifted away from its vehicle business and expanded itselectrical component businesses. In 2012 Eaton merged withIrish-headquartered Cooper Industries plc, which reincorporated theCompany in Ireland. After the merger, Eaton executives assured investorsof the continued feasibility of divesting the automobile-partmanufacturing business on a tax-free basis. This kept the Eaton stockprice artificially inflated. On July 29, 2014, Eaton’s CEO Alexander M.Cutler informed investors that the Company could not feasibly divest theautomobile-part business until late 2017 because of tax law restrictionsrelated to the merger. Mr. Cutler further revealed that the Company was“well aware” of these restrictions “all along.” When this news wasannounced, Eaton’s stock price dropped, causing investors harm.
