The plaintiff claims that between January 31, 2018 and May 2, 2018, the defendants failed to disclose that the Company was experiencing a higher claims incidence for its long-term care business, that the Company was experiencing less favorable policy terminations in connection with its long-term care business, that, as such, the Company's long-term care business loss ratio would reach the upper 90% range, and that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' statements about Unum's business, operations, and prospects, including statements related to the Company's long-term care reserves and capital management plans, were materially false and/or misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

McGarry ("McGarry"), the Company's Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") elaborated on the Company's disclosures in the May 1, 2018 press release, stating "[b]enefits experience this quarter was driven by new claim incidence that ran much higher than expected" and "the higher loss ratio this quarter was negatively impacted by a lower level of policy terminations."
