The Klein Law Firm Reminds Investors of Commencement of a Class Action Filed on Behalf of Vitamin Shoppe, Inc. Shareholders and a Lead Plaintiff Deadline of October 27, 2017 (VSI)

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / October 18, 2017 / The Klein Law Firm announces that a class action complaint has been filed on behalf of shareholders of Vitamin Shoppe, Inc. (NYSE: VSI) who purchased shares between March 1, 2017 and August 8, 2017. The action, which was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, alleges that the Company violated federal securities laws.

In particular, the complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that (1) the Company’s retail segment was continuing to dramatically decline, as its ongoing “reinvention plan” was not meeting with success; (2) ongoing changes to the Company’s operating plan brought about through this “reinvention plan” had already rendered the more than $168 million in goodwill being carried on Vitamin Shoppe’s books for the retail segment impaired and Vitamin Shoppe was improperly delaying recognizing that impairment charge; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, defendants lacked a reasonable basis for their positive statements about Vitamin Shoppe’s financial prospects.

Shareholders have until October 27, 2017 to petition the court for lead plaintiff status. Your ability to share in any recovery does not require that you serve as lead plaintiff. You may choose to be an absent class member.
