On January 19, 2012, the Attorney General of Minnesota filed a complaint against Accretive Health in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota, Case No., 12-cv-00145, alleging, among other things, that the Company had engaged in systematic and widespread violations of state and federal debt collection acts and patient privacy laws. 

On April 24, 2012, the New York Times published an article reporting in detail on the allegations against the Company.  On this news, Accretive Health shares were down as much as 31% in midday trading on April 25, 2012. 

Our investigation concerns whether the Accretive Health board of directors has breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders, grossly mismanaged the Company, and/or committed abuses of control in connection with the foregoing.
