Block & Leviton LLP Reminds Investors in Ubiquiti Networks, Inc. (UBNT) To Contact The Firm Regarding Pending Securities Fraud Lawsuit
BOSTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / April 2, 2018 / Block & Leviton LLP (www.blockesq.com), a securities litigation firm representing investors nationwide, reminds investors to contact the firm to seek lead plaintiff status in the pending class actions filed against Ubiquiti Networks, Inc. (”Ubiquiti” or the ”Company”) (NASDAQ: UBNT) and certain of its officers alleging violations of the federal securities laws.
The lawsuits – the first of which were filed by Block & Leviton – allege that on February 20, 2018 Ubiquiti filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission revealing that the SEC ”issued subpoenas to Ubiquiti Networks, Inc. (the ”Company”) and certain of the Company’s officers requesting documents and information relating to a range of topics….”
On this news, the Company’s stock fell more than 25 percent, causing millions in losses to investors.
Earlier, on September 18, 2017, Citron Research (”Citron”) issued a report entitled ”Cintron Exposes Ubiquiti Networks,” (the ”Citron Report”) in which Citron detailed a series of ”alarming red flags,” indicating that the Company has been deceiving investors and is engaged in ”corporate fraud,” including, among other things, that the Company has misrepresented the size of its purported ”Ubiquiti Community,” as well as its levels of accounts receivable, among other things.
On that news, Ubiquiti’s share price fell nearly 8% to close at $50.62 on September 18, 2017.
The complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Vanderheiden v. Ubiquiti Networks, Inc, et al., 18-cv-01620-VM), alleges that between May 9, 2013 and February 20, 2018, inclusive (the ”Class Period”), Defendants made false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failures to disclose pertaining to a range of topics, including (i) the number of the Company’s purported user community was drastically overstated; (ii) that it had exaggerated its publicly reported accounts receivable; and (iii) that as a result of the foregoing, Ubiquiti’s publicly disseminated financial statements were materially false and misleading.
If you purchased Ubiquiti shares during the Class Period and wish to serve as a lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than April 23, 2018. As a member of the class, you may seek to file a motion to serve as a lead plaintiff or take no action and remain an absent class member. If you wish to become involved in the litigation or have questions about your legal rights, you are encouraged to contact attorney Thomas Kirchofer at (617) 398-5600, by email at tom@blockesq.com, or by visiting www.blockesq.com/ubiquiti.
