Headquartered in Westport, Conn., Compass is a private equity firm which, in 2021, acquired a majority interest in Lugano Holdings, Inc., a designer of high-end jewelry, in a deal with an enterprise value of $256 million.
According to the lawsuit, during the Class Period, Compass failed to disclose that: (i) Lugano had violated applicable accounting rules and industry practice during fiscal 2024; (ii) Lugano's 2024 financial results were artificially distorted by these accounting irregularities; and (iii) Compass failed to implement effective internal controls over Compass' financial reporting.

A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation. The lead plaintiff is usually the investor or small group of investors who have the largest financial interest and who are also adequate and typical of the proposed class of investors. The lead plaintiff selects counsel to represent the lead plaintiff and the class and these attorneys, if approved by the court, are lead or class counsel. Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. Communicating with any counsel is not necessary to participate or share in any recovery achieved in this case. Any member of the purported class may move the Court to serve as a lead plaintiff through counsel of his/her choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an inactive class member.
