Background on the FleetCor Securities Class Litigation

FleetCor provides specialized payment products and services, including
fuel cards for businesses worldwide. The complaint filed in the action
alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially
false and misleading statements and failed to disclose that FleetCor’s
earnings and growth were attributable, in significant part, to improper
and fraudulent business practices, including overcharging customers and
assessing exorbitant fees not clearly disclosed in contracts,
disseminating misleading marketing materials, and engaging in predatory
sales practices. FleetCor also failed to disclose that its bill payment
system could not properly and timely process customer bill payments.

On December 19, 2016, FleetCor’s largest customer, Chevron, reportedly
signed a long-term contract with FleetCor’s chief competitor to replace
FleetCor as a provider of branded commercial fuel cards beginning in
January 2018. Following this news, the price of FleetCor’s common stock
fell $5.08 per share, or 3.43%, from its closing price on December 16,
2016, to close at $142.96 per share on December 19, 2016.

On March 1, 2017, Capital Forum, a firm that provides investigative news
and legal analysis of industry issues, published a report on its
investigation into FleetCor’s business practices, noting that FleetCor’s
success has been based on “(1) understating or misrepresenting the fees
associated with its products at the point of sale; (2) waiving fees
during the first three months of card use when customers are most likely
to carefully scrutinize their bills; and (3) burying fees at the end of
lengthy transaction reports utilizing a host of vague descriptors.” In
addition, according to the report, FleetCor’s bill payment system was
reportedly “plagued by critical deficiencies that make it difficult for
the customer to timely pay FleetCor bills.” On March 1, 2017, FleetCor’s
stock price fell $5.25 per share, or 3.09%, from its closing price on
February 28, 2017 to close at $164.75.

On April 4, 2017, Citron Research, an online stock commentary website,
published a report accusing FleetCor of being a “predatory company by
design whose core strategy is to methodically rip off its customers
using business practices and fees that are designed to deceive.”
Following this report, FleetCor’s stock fell $8.55 per share, or 5.69%,
from its closing price on April 3, 2017 to close at $141.60 per share on
the next day.

On April 27, 2017, Citron Research issued a follow-up report providing
additional details on FleetCor’s illicit business practices. On that
day, FleetCor stock fell $5.73 per share, or 3.79%, from its closing
price on April 26, 2017 to close at $145.65 per share.

On May 1, 2017, Chevron sued FleetCor for breach of contract. FleetCor’s
stock price fell $10.18 per share, or 6.87%, from its closing price on
May 1, 2017 to close at $138 per share on the next day. On May 3, 2017,
following media reports of the Chevron lawsuit, FleetCor’s stock price
fell another $6.74 per share, or 4.88%.
