SHAREHOLDER ALERT – Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC Reminds Investors of Class Action Against OSI Systems, Inc. (OSIS) & Lead Plaintiff Deadline – February 5, 2018
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / January 31, 2018 / Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC notifies investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against OSI Systems, Inc. (“OSI” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: OSIS) and certain of its officers, on behalf of shareholders who purchased or otherwise acquired OSI securities between August 21, 2013 and December 6, 2017, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”). Such investors are encouraged to join this case by visiting the firm’s site: http://www.bgandg.com/osis.
This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
On December 6, 2017, Muddy Waters Research published a report stating that OSI “is rotten to the core” and that the Company “obtained a major turnkey contract in Albania through corruption.” Muddy Waters claimed that while the concession “has an estimated top line lifetime value of $150 million to $250 million,” the Company “likely bribed somebody by giving half of it away for $4.50” since “[t]here was an unannounced transfer of 49% of OSIS’s project company, S2 Albania SHPK, to a holding company owned by an Albanian doctor, for consideration of less than $5.00.” The report also alleged that “investigators’ interviews with former employees yielded numerous anecdotes indicating OSIS is rotten to the core,” including “knowledge of improper sales, cash payments to government officials, fraud in a significant contract, and that OSIS had narrowly avoided being debarred from doing business with the U.S. government.” Following this news, OSI stock dropped $24.55 per share, or 29.2%, to close at $59.52 on December 6, 2017.
The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) OSI acquired the Albania concession through bribery or other illicit means; (2) OSI transferred 49% of its project company associated with the Albania concession, S2 Albania SHPK, an entity purportedly worth millions, for consideration of less than $5.00; (3) OSI engaged in other illegal acts, including improper sales and cash payments to government officials; (4) that these practices caused OSI to be vulnerable to potential civil and criminal liability, and adverse regulatory action; and (5) consequently, Defendants’ statements about OSI’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and/or misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
