SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC Reminds Investors of Class Action Against Eaton Corporation plc (ETN) and Lead Plaintiff Deadline – September 23, 2016

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / August 31, 2016 / Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC reminds investors that a securities class action has been filed on behalf of those who purchased shares of Eaton Corporation plc (“Eaton” or the “Company”) (NYSE: ETN) and certain of its officers, during the period between November 13, 2013 and July 28, 2016, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).

The Complaint alleges that Defendants issued false and misleading statements regarding Eaton’s ability to divest its automobile-part manufacturing business. Eaton has primarily focused on vehicle component manufacturing, but as of 2008, Eaton has extended its electrical component businesses. In 2012 Eaton entered a merger with Cooper Industries plc, which reincorporated Eaton in Ireland. Following the Merger, Eaton’s executives guaranteed its shareholders of the feasibility of divesting the automobile-part manufacturing business on a tax-free basis, thus artificially inflating Eaton’s stock price. On July 29, 2014, Eaton’s Chief Executive Officer, Alexander M. Cutler, informed investors that due to the merger with Cooper Industries plc and the associated tax-law restrictions, Eaton would not be able to divest its vehicle business until late. Cutler added the Eaton was “well aware” of these restrictions “all along.” Following this news, Eaton stock dropped $6.24 per share, or 8.13%, to close at $70.51 on July 29, 2014.
