Geron Corporation (GERN) Securities Class Action:

The complaint alleges that Geron misled investors about the results of a clinical study of Imetelstat, the Company's core drug intended to treat certain bone marrow cancers. According to the complaint, Geron touted its development of Imetelstat in partnership with Janssen Biotech Inc. ("Janssen"), a division of Johnson & Johnson, while allegedly concealing that Imetelstat provided minimal benefits to patients with myelofibrosis cancer.

The truth emerged on Sept. 27, 2018, when Geron disclosed disappointing efficacy data and that its deep-pocketed commercial partner, Janssen, terminated its partnership with Geron.

This news caused the price of Geron's shares to decline sharply.

"We're focused on investors' losses and proving Geron misled investors by promoting Imetelstat while concealing material efficacy data," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

HAGENS BERMAN, NATIONAL TRIAL ATTORNEYS, Encourages CPI Aero (CVU) Investors Who Suffered Losses to Contact Its Attorneys, Firm Investigating Possible Securities Fraud

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 21, 2020 / Hagens Berman urges CPI Aero (NYSE:CVU) investors who have suffered significant losses to submit their loss now to learn if they qualify to recover their investment losses.

CPI Aero (CVU) Investigation:

The investigation centers on the propriety of CPI Aero's revenue recognition practices and internal controls over financial reporting.

In past quarters, CPI Aero has promoted its streak of posting profits and revenue growth, attributing the superior financial results to "strong operational execution."

But on Feb. 8, 2019, CPI Aero disclosed that its Q3 2018 financial statements could no longer be relied upon due to an "error . . . in the Company's billing process." The error inflated the Company's reported revenue and income before provision for income taxes, net income, and EPS.

Then, on Feb. 14, 2020, CPI Aero announced that its financial statements for fiscal year 2018, the last three quarters of 2018, and the first two quarters of 2019 should no longer be relied upon due to errors relating to the Company's recognition of revenue from customer contracts. The Company also disclosed that, contrary to prior representations, CPI Aero maintained ineffective internal control over financial reporting for 2018. CPI Aero further announced the resignation of recently appointed CFO Dan Azmon.

On this news, the CPI share priced dropped nearly 30%.

"We're focused on recovering investors' losses and determining whether CPI Aero's admitted accounting errors were intentional," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding CPI Aero should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under the new program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.

Fluor Corporation (FLR) Investigation:

The investigation focuses on the propriety of Fluor's reported revenue and recorded charges for certain projects, including for its troubled Radford Munition Facility government project.

On Aug. 1, 2019, Fluor reported disappointing 2Q 2019 financial results, caused primarily by $664 million of project charges. This included a charge of $233 million for a government project later identified as the Radford project.

Then, on Oct. 31, 2019, Fluor released its 3Q 2019 financial results, reporting another $73 million in charges, including on its Radford project. The Company explained that it was "continuing to be affected by the lack of critical client furnished data impacting our engineering efforts and our schedules."

Finally, on Feb. 18, 2020, Fluor announced that the SEC is conducting an investigation and has requested documents and information related to projects for which the Company recorded charges during the second quarter of 2019. On a conference call with investors, Fluor Executive Chairman Alan Boeckmann also disclosed, "In the course of responding to the SEC's data requests and conducting our own internal review, the company is looking at its prior revenue recognition charges and related control environment, focusing initially on the Radford contract." The Company also announced it would not file its annual report on Form 10-K before the end of February.

This news drove the price of Fluor shares sharply lower during intraday trading on Feb. 18, 2020.

"We're focused on whether Fluor's previously reported financial results were misleading and, if so, recovering investors' losses," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding Fluor should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under the new program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC. For more information, call Reed Kathrein at 844-916-0895 or email FLR@hbsslaw.com.

Mattel, Inc. (MAT) Securities Class Action:

The Complaint alleges that Mattel and its senior executives misled investors regarding its financial accounting in the last two quarters of 2017, as well as the efficacy of its internal controls.

According to the Complaint, the truth began to emerge on Aug. 8, 2019, when Mattel announced the termination of an upcoming bond offering after improper accounting concerns were raised by a whistleblower. As a result, Mattel's common stock dropped $2.12 per share, or almost 12%, in a single day of trading.

Then, on Oct. 29, 2019, Mattel announced the results of its investigation into the whistleblower allegations. Among other things, Mattel admitted it engaged in improper accounting and amended its 2018 Form 10-K to restate the last two quarters of 2017. The Company also admitted to weaknesses in its internal controls and violations of auditor independence rules.

That same day, the Company disclosed the abrupt departure of its CFO Joseph J. Euteneuer.

"We're focused on recovering investors' substantial losses and holding Mattel accountable for its false financial reporting," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (SIX) Securities Class Action:

According to the Complaint, Defendants made false and misleading statements about Six Flags' business, operations, and growth prospects related to agreements with its partner (Riverside) to develop parks in China.

More specifically, according to the Complaint, as development of those parks began to face delays, Defendants falsely (1) downplayed the problems as "short-term" and "not material in the context of the long-term opportunity" and (2) assured that Riverside was "work[ing] through" the macroeconomic issues in China and that Riverside was in "great shape" financially.

The Complaint alleges that investors learned the truth about development delays and Riverside's financial health through a series of partial disclosures beginning on Feb. 14, 2019, when Defendants announced a negative $15 million revenue adjustment for Q4 2018 due to delays in opening dates of some of its China parks, which the Company falsely blamed on macroeconomic issues in China. The Complaint alleges that the fraud was fully disclosed on Jan. 10, 2020, when Defendants disclosed further delays in development of Six Flags-branded parks in China and Riverside's default on its payment obligations to Six Flags.

Each disclosure drove the price of Six Flags shares sharply lower.

"We're focused on recovering investors' losses and proving Six Flags intentionally misled investors about the progress of its parks in China," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding Six Flags should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under the new program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.

Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. (SPR) Securities Class Action:

The Complaint alleges Defendants misled investors by misrepresenting and failing to disclose that (1) Spirit lacked effective internal controls over financial reporting; (2) the Company was violating its established accounting principles related to potential contingent liabilities; and, as a result, (3) Defendants' financial reporting and statements about Spirit's business, operations, and prospects were misleading.

On Jan. 30, 2020, investors began to learn the truth when Spirit announced the abrupt departures of Chief Financial Officer Jose Garcia and Principal Accounting Officer John Gilson. The Company explained "[i]n December 2019, the Company received information through its established compliance processes that led the Company to commence a review of its accounting process compliance" and "[a]s a result of the review, which is ongoing, the Company determined that it did not comply with its established accounting processes with respect to certain potential contingent liabilities received by the Company after the end of the third quarter of 2019."

This news drove the price of Spirit shares sharply lower on Jan. 30, 2020.

"We're focused on investors' losses and proving Spirit concealed certain liabilities to appear more liquid," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
