CASE ALLEGATIONS:

Broadmark and Ready Capital are real estate investments trusts. On May 30, 2023, Broadmark shareholders voted to approve the merger of Broadmark and Ready Capital, which closed the next day.

The Broadmark class action lawsuit alleges that the proxy statement used to solicit the support of Broadmark shareholders for the Merger contained false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that:

• (i) a material portion of borrowers within Ready Capital's originated portfolio were experiencing significant financial distress due to high interest rates that had increased their borrowing costs;
• (ii) an oversupply of multifamily properties in Ready Capital's markets of operation had severely limited the ability of Ready Capital borrowers to raise their rents by the amounts necessary to cover their growing debt costs;
• (iii) a major development project acquired in Ready Capital's acquisition of Mosaic Real Estate Credit, LLC, Mosaic Real Estate Credit TE, LLC, and MREC International Incentive Split, LP (a Ritz-Carlton located in Portland, Oregon), which accounted for approximately $500 million of Ready Capital's acquired loan portfolio, had experienced catastrophic setbacks since its inception, including significant cost overruns, construction delays, and funding shortfalls;
• (iv) as a result, Ready Capital's Current Expected Credit Loss reserves and expected credit losses were materially understated; and
• (v) consequently, Ready Capital's financial projections regarding Ready Capital's Distributable Earnings per share, dividends per share, and book value per share had no basis in fact when made.

The price of Ready Capital stock has remained significantly below the Merger price as of the time the Broadmark class action lawsuit was filed.

The plaintiff is represented by Robbins Geller, which has extensive experience in prosecuting investor class actions including actions involving financial fraud. You can view a copy of the complaint by clicking here.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS:

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who held Broadmark common stock as of the record date of the Merger to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Broadmark class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Broadmark class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Broadmark class action lawsuit. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Broadmark class action lawsuit.
