Allegations
The filed complaint alleges that ON Semiconductor Corporation made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) contrary to representations made, revenues from billions of dollars in reported long-term supply agreements (“LTSAs”) were not “committed”, “locked in,” or effectively certain to be obtained by the Company; (2) the Company could and would abrogate the LTSAs at a customer’s request; (3) in tough macroeconomic conditions, LTSAs did not provide “predictable” and “sustainable” performance to drive the Company’s growth; (4) LTSAs would be modified or eliminated as conditions changed; (5) defendants did not have “good visibility” into customer demand, and in fact, demand could be reduced on short notice, even where LTSAs were in effect; and (6) as a result of the foregoing, defendants’ positive statements about Onsemi’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
