ATI Physical Therapy, Inc. (ATIP/ FVII) Securities Class Action:

The litigation focuses on statements by ATI Physical Therapy, its senior management, Fortress, and others concerning ATI Physical Therapys financial performance, operations and business prospects leading up to and after its merger with special purpose acquisition company Fortress Value Acquisition Corp. II that closed on or about June 16, 2021.

According to the complaint, defendants did not disclose to investors that (1) ATI was experiencing attrition among its physical therapists, (2) ATI faced increasing competition for therapists, and (3) these difficulties would and did result in increased labor costs.

But on July 26, 2021, slightly a month after the merger closed, ATI Physical Therapy reported disappointing Q2 2021 financial results and slashed its full year revenue expectations by as much as 12%, blaming the dismal outlook on accelerated attrition of physical therapists and a corresponding reduction in estimated new clinic openings.

On Aug. 9, 2021 ATIs CEO (Labeed Diab) left the company.

Then, on Aug. 16, 2021 the company reported a whopping $467 million impairment charge due in large part to accelerated attrition and higher labor costs.

These events sent the price of ATI Physical Therapy shares crashing lower.

Were focused on investors losses and proving company insiders overstated ATI Physical Therapys asset values and expected 2021 revenues, said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
