Ignite, a Delaware corporation headquartered in Houston, Texas, operates two restaurant businesses, Joe’s Crab Shack and Brick House Tavern + Tap. According to the Complaint, the Company’s Registration Statement and Prospectus issued in connection with the Company’s IPO, contained material errors relating to the Company’s accounting treatment of leases since nearly the Company’s inception.

On July 18, 2012, Ignite issued a press release announcing that, following an internal assessment of its lease accounting policies, the Company had determined it necessary to correct non-cash related errors related to its accounting treatment of certain leases. In addition, as a follow-up to this review, the Company is also commencing a detailed review of its historical accounting for fixed assets and related depreciation expense in prior periods as a private company. Further, the release states that the lease accounting errors have been preliminarily quantified by the Company and date back to 2006, the year of the Company’s origination. On this news, shares in Ignite plummeted over 20%, closing at $15.15 per share on July 19, 2012, on volume of over 1.6 million shares.
