According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading
statements to the market. Equity Bancshares failed to maintain
appropriate internal controls to assess credit risk. Due to the lack of
these controls, a portion of the Company’s loans faced an increased loss
risk. In fact, the Company was likely to face losses based on the
inappropriate loans on its books. Based on these facts, the Company’s
public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the
class period. When the market learned the truth about Equity Bancshares,
investors suffered damages.
