Compass Faces Class Action Lawsuit Over Alleged Merger Misrepresentations

The litigation targets alleged violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Plaintiffs argue that the company misled the market about its compliance with antitrust laws, the status of governmental investigations, and its possession of required business permits.
