According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Bank OZK did not have appropriate internal controls to review and assess risk in place. Due to the inadequacy of the Company’s controls, its loans faced an increased risk of loss. In fact, a portion of Bank OZK’s substandard loans were known to be likely to face charge-offs. Based on these facts, the Company’s public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Bank OZK, investors suffered damages.

Join the case to recover your losses.
