LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

According to the Complaint, the Defendants issued false and misleading statements about the Company's ability to divest its automobile-part manufacturing business. For most of its 100-year history, Eaton's primary focus was vehicle component manufacturing. Since 2008, the Company shifted away from its vehicle business and expanded its electrical component businesses. In 2012 Eaton engaged in a merger (the "Merger") with Irish-headquartered Cooper Industries plc, which reincorporated the Company in Ireland. After the Merger, Eaton executives assured investors of the continued feasibility of divesting the automobile-part manufacturing business on a tax-free basis. This kept the Eaton stock price artificially inflated. On July 29, 2014, Eaton's Chief Executive Officer, Alexander M. Cutler, informed investors that the Company could not feasibly divest the automobile-part business until late 2017 because of tax law restrictions related to the Merger. Mr. Cutler further revealed that the Company was "well aware" of these restrictions "all along." When this news was announced, Eaton's stock fell in value.
