About the Lawsuit
The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by issuing materially false and misleading statements concerning the proposed acquisition of J. Crew by TPG Capital and Leonard Green & Partners. The new owners plan to work with J. Crew CEO Millard Drexler, who will continue to head the company and will retain a "significant equity investment."
