SAN DIEGO, Sept. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP ("Robbins Geller") (http://www.rgrdlaw.com/cases/ondeck/) previously announced the filing of a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of purchasers of On Deck Capital, Inc. ("On Deck") (NYSE: ONDK) common stock pursuant or traceable to the Registration Statement and Prospectus (collectively, the "Registration Statement") issued in connection with On Deck's December 17, 2014 initial public stock offering (the "IPO"). The case, Malafsky v. On Deck Capital, Inc., No. 1:15cv6187, was filed on August 6, 2015, and has been assigned to Judge Analisa Torres.

If you purchased On Deck common stock pursuant or traceable to the IPO and suffered losses in connection therewith, you may qualify to serve as a lead plaintiff in this action. The court-appointed lead plaintiff is generally the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class that is adequate and typical of other class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision of whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. The deadline to file lead plaintiff motions in this case is October 5, 2015. To inquire about serving as lead plaintiff or discuss this action or notice, please contact plaintiff's counsel, Samuel H. Rudman or David A. Rosenfeld of Robbins Geller at 800/449-4900 or 619/231-1058, or via e-mail at [email protected]. A copy of the complaint and additional information about the case are available online at http://www.rgrdlaw.com/cases/ondeck/.

The complaint charges On Deck, certain of its officers and directors and the underwriters of its IPO with violations of the Securities Act of 1933. On Deck is an online subprime commercial lender offering small businesses quick-approval 3- to 24-month loans at interest rates exponentially higher than those offered by traditional banks.

On December 17, 2014, On Deck commenced the IPO and issued 11.5 million shares of common stock at $20 per share pursuant to the Registration Statement. The complaint alleges that the Registration Statement issued in connection with the IPO contained untrue statements of material fact and omitted to state material facts both required by governing regulations and necessary to make the statements made not misleading. The Registration Statement failed to disclose already occurring shifts in the Company's lending practices to less profitable channels and longer term loans, which were negatively affecting, among other things, On Deck's interest rate spread, effective interest yield, annual percentage rates ("APR") and earnings.

In late February and early March 2015, On Deck issued its first public financial reports, which disclosed that On Deck's once constant effective interest yield had dropped 10% sequentially to 38.7% in the fourth quarter of 2014, caused by On Deck's shift to less profitable channels and longer term loans. On this news, the price of On Deck common stock dropped to as low as $16.08 per share on March 5, 2015. Then, on May 4, 2015, On Deck issued a press release announcing its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015, disclosing yet another over 10% decline in effective interest yield as well as a nearly 20% year-over-year decline in APR.

The plaintiff, represented by Robbins Geller, seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of On Deck common stock pursuant or traceable to the Registration Statement issued in connection with On Deck's December 17, 2014 IPO.
