In the complaint, the defendants are alleged to have violated certain provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Specifically, the complaint alleges that defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that (i) NII reported inaccurate capital and operating leases, which inflated its financial performance in 2009 and 2010 and promoted skewed projects of the success of its effort to launch a new network; (ii) NII's attempts to shift away from its iDEN-based infrastructure were a failure from the outset, causing its subscribers to defect in masses; (iii) NII's replacement network in key markets such as Mexico was not equipped to withstand the service load created by the phase-out of the iDEN network; (iv) although NII's Mexican operating company, Comunicaciones Nextel de Mexico, S.A. de C.V.'s profitability was significantly declining, it deferred tax assets, altering the projected profitability and causing artificially inflated values; and (v) as a result of the above, Defendants lacked a rational basis for their projections of NII's performance and profitability. According to the complaint, when the truth leaked into the market NII's stock dropped.
