NEW ORLEANS, June 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC ("KSF") and KSF partner, the former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., remind investors that they have only until June 8, 2020 to file lead plaintiff applications in a securities class action lawsuit against Fifth Third Bancorp (NasdaqGS: FITB), if they purchased the Company's securities between February 26, 2016, and March 6, 2020, inclusive (the "Class Period"). This action is pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.

If you wish to serve as a lead plaintiff in this class action by overseeing lead counsel with the goal of obtaining a fair and just resolution, you must request this position by application to the Court by June 8, 2020.
About the Lawsuit
Fifth Third and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.
On March 2, 2020, the Company filed its 2019 10-K, also disclosing that the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB") "notified Fifth Third that it intends to file an enforcement action in relation to alleged unauthorized account openings." This admission and subsequent additional disclosures caused the Company's stock price to fall, injuring shareholders.
The case is Lee Christakis, et al. v. Fifth Third Bancorp, et al, 20-cv-02176.
