DEADLINE ALERT- – Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC Reminds Investors of Class Action Against Ambac Financial Group, Inc. (AMBC) and Lead Plaintiff Deadline – August 29, 2016

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / August 26, 2016 / Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC reminds investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Ambac Financial Group, Inc. (“Ambac” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: AMBC) and certain of its officers. The class action, filed in United States District Court, Southern District of New York, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased Ambac securities between November 13, 2013 through June 30, 2015, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period defendants issued false and misleading statements to investors and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Ambac had far greater losses and loss exposure to anticipated defaults than it had previously disclosed in its public finance bond portfolio; (2) Ambac’s credit risk surveillance strategies were insufficient; (3) Ambac was failing to implement mitigation strategies in a timely manner to stabilize the residual value of its financial guarantee business; (4) consequentially, Ambac’s financial condition was much worse than represented; and (5) Ambac failed to maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting. Due to the defendants’ alleged false and misleading statements, Ambac’s stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period, and investors were damaged once the true details were made public.

According to the Complaint, on June 29, 2015, the governor of Puerto stated that the island’s debt of over $70 million was “not payable” and Puerto Rico would soon be unable to pay its upcoming interest payments. This declaration exposed Ambac’s potential liability of up to $2.5 billion of the Commonwealth’s debt it insures. Following this news, Ambac dropped $6.47 per share or 28.9%, on July 1, 2015.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed.
