The complaint alleges “a scheme to manipulate the market for Avis securities, orchestrated by Defendants [Pentwater Capital Management LP] and [Pentwater’s Founder, Chief Investment Officer Matthew Halbower].” Further, the complaint alleges “[t]aking advantage of Pentwater’s position as one of Avis’s largest shareholders, holding a total economic interest of approximately 51% of the Company through stocks and cash-settled swaps as of March 2026, Defendants’ aggressive purchasing of Avis stock during the Class Period triggered unusual volatility and a short squeeze in the market for Avis securities – i.e., a rapid surge in the Company’s stock price caused by short sellers buying back shares to cut their losses, thereby fueling further price spikes – all of which served to greatly increase the value of Pentwater’s holdings of Avis stock.”
