Background on the Accretive Health Securities Class Litigation

The actions are brought against Accretive Health and certain of its officers and directors for violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accretive Health provides revenue cycle management services for hospitals and healthcare providers in the United States.

The actions allege that during the Class Period, defendants issued materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business and prospects. Specifically, Accretive Health failed to disclose that it was in violation of health privacy laws, state debt collection laws and state consumer protection laws.

On March 29, 2012, Accretive Health announced that in response to a lawsuit brought against the Company by the Attorney General of Minnesota, it agreed to no longer collect debts on behalf of Fairview Health Services (“Fairview”), one of its largest clients, and that the change would negatively impact its fiscal year 2012 revenue by $62 million to $68 million. Then, on April 24, 2012, the Minnesota Attorney General released a report highlighting aggressive practices used by Accretive Health, including demanding payment from patients seeking medical care in hospitals. On this news, Accretive Health’s stock plummeted $7.63 to close at $10.86 per share on April 25, 2012, a one-day decline of 41%.
