NEW YORK, June 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bernstein Liebhard LLP reminds investors of the important July 10, 2018 lead plaintiff deadline in the class action lawsuit against Kulicke & Soffa Industries, Inc. (“K&S” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:KLIC). The lawsuit seeks to recover damages on behalf of those who purchased the securities of K&S between November 16, 2017 and May 10, 2018, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”).
To join the K&S class action, and/or if you have information relating to this matter, please visit our K&S SHAREHOLDER PAGE or contact Daniel Sadeh toll free at (877) 779-1414 or [email protected].
According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) K&S’ consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2017 could no longer be relied upon due to misstated warranty accruals; and (2) as a result, Defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On May 10, 2018, during aftermarket hours, K&S revealed that “[f]ollowing the end of the fiscal quarter, the Company learned of certain unauthorized transactions by a senior finance employee of the Company.” The Company further disclosed that it “discovered that certain warranty accruals in prior periods had been accounted for incorrectly and therefore misstated,” and therefore, “the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 can no longer be relied upon due to the misstated warranty accruals made in prior periods.” As a result, the Company disclosed that it will be restating its financial statements.
On this news, K&S’ stock price fell $1.80 per share, or over 7%, from its previous closing price to close at $21.99 per share on May 11, 2018, damaging investors.
If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 10, 2018. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn’t require that you serve as lead plaintiff. If you choose to take no action, you may remain an absent class member.
