Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Encourages Investors Who Suffered Over $100,000 In Losses Investing In Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. To Contact the Firm
NEW YORK, Sept. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential securities fraud at Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. ("ALC" or the "Company") (NYSE: ALC).
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120119/MM38856LOGO)
The investigation focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose that ALC was failing to comply with its lease obligations for eight assisted living facilities under its management.
In early May 2012, the audit committee of ALC's board of directors launched an investigation after receiving an internal whistleblower complaint concerning "possible irregularities in connection with" the lease, and on June 21, 2012, ALC settled with the landlord, causing ALC to incur a net loss of $19.5 million for the first six months of 2012 – an amount close to ALC's entire net income in 2011. On August 7, 2012, ALC announced that it was the subject of an SEC investigation concerning a number of topics, including "compliance with occupancy covenants" under the lease and the "leasing of units for employee use."
Upon this news, ALC shares fell over 26 percent to close at $7.89 per share on August 7, 2012, representing a loss of shareholder value of over $51 million.
