BERNSTEIN LITOWITZ BERGER & GROSSMANN LLP AND KESSLER TOPAZ MELTZER & CHECK, LLP APPOINTED AS CO-LEAD COUNSEL IN THE SHAREHOLDER CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST CARNIVAL CORPORATION AND CARNIVAL PLC FOR VIOLATIONS OF FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS
NEW YORK and RADNOR, Pa., Nov. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The law firms of Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP and Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP announce that the firms have been appointed as Co-Lead Counsel in the consolidated securities fraud class action lawsuit pending against Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc (collectively, "Carnival"). This action, captioned In Re Carnival Corp. Securities Litigation, Case No. 1:20-cv-22202-KMM, is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida and alleges violations of federal securities laws on behalf of Carnival investors who purchased or acquired Carnival's securities between September 26, 2019, and May 1, 2020, inclusive (the "Class Period"). Pursuant to the Court's order, Co-Lead Counsel, on behalf of the Court-appointed Lead Plaintiffs represented by the firms, will file a consolidated complaint on or before December 15, 2020.
Investors who have losses from their transactions in Carnival securities, including common stock, American Depository Shares, and stock options, during the Class Period may receive additional information about this litigation by clicking https://www.blbglaw.com/cases/in-re-carnival-corp-securities-litigation or contacting Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP (Jim Harrod) at (212) 554-1502 or via email at [email protected] or by clicking https://www.ktmc.com/new-cases/carnival-corporation-ccl-and-carnival-plc cuk?utm_source=PR&utm_medium=Link&utm_campaign=Carnival or contacting Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP (James Maro, Jr., Esq. or Adrienne Bell, Esq.) at (844) 887-9500 or (610) 667-7706, or via e-mail at [email protected].
As alleged in the complaint, throughout the Class Period, the Defendants made materially false, and/or misleading statements, and failed to disclose material adverse facts about Carnival's manifest inability to address the spread of infectious disease on its ships (including COVID-19) and the susceptibility of its ships to the transmission of such diseases among its crew and passengers. As a result of the foregoing, Defendants' statements about Carnival's commitment to the health and safety of its passengers and crew members as well as its assurances to safeguard passengers and crew were false and/or misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
As a result of the revelation of the truth about Carnival's inability and unwillingness to contain the spread of infectious diseases on its ships, Carnival investors who purchased Carnival securities on U.S. exchanges during the Class Period lost billions of dollars when Carnival's shares declined following Carnival's corrective revelations.
