In prior posts on this site (most recently here), I have suggested that D&O claims could arise in connection with the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), a fiscal stimulus program Congress enacted as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). In what is as far as I know the first PPP-related securities class action lawsuit, a plaintiff shareholder has filed a securities class action lawsuit against Wells Fargo & Company, alleging that the company made misrepresentations to investors in connection with the company’s participation in the PPP. A copy of the plaintiff’s June 4, 2020 complaint can be found here.
