The Complaint alleges as follows: Apple’s share price dropped 14% in
the two weeks after Apple’s admission of backdating, erasing more than
$7 billion in share value. It’s this loss that the plaintiffs hope to
recover. In December 2006, Apple said that as a result of its internal
investigation, it would restate its financial results to include “an
additional non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $84 million
after tax ($105 million pretax), including $4 million and $7 million in
fiscal years 2006 and 2005, respectively.” The company said it had
found no irregular grants after Dec. 31, 2002.
