According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. The merger between Sinclair and Tribune did not comply with FCC (News - Alert) regulations. At the same time, Sinclair was not making its best effort to remove items standing in the way of FCC approval. The Company was engaging in transactions at less than arm's length with buyers connected to controlling shareholders in order to bypass FCC ownership rules. Based on these facts, the Company's public statements on the business and operations were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Sinclair, investors suffered damages.

Join the case to recover your losses.
