WAYNE, Pa., March 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Ryan & Maniskas, LLP that a class action lawsuit has been filed in United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of all persons or entities that purchased comScore, Inc. ("comScore" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: SCOR) publicly traded securities during the period between May 5, 2015 and March 7, 2016, inclusive (the "Class Period").
comScore shareholders may, no later than May 9, 2016, move the Court for appointment as a lead plaintiff of the Class. If you purchased shares of ComScore and would like to learn more about these claims or if you wish to discuss these matters and have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights, contact Richard A. Maniskas, Esquire toll-free at (877) 316-3218 or to sign up online, visit: www.rmclasslaw.com/cases/scor.
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements, and omitted materially adverse facts, about the Company's business, operations and prospects. As a result of defendants' alleged false and misleading statements, the Company's stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period.
According to the Complaint, on March 7, 2016, the Company filed an amendment to a Notice of Late Filing previously filed on February 29, 2016. Therein, the Company disclosed that on March 5, 2016, the Audit Committee advised the Company's Board of Directors that it did not expect to finalize its review before March 15, 2016. The Company also disclosed that, as a result, "the Company is not in a position to file its Form 10-K until after the Audit Committee completes its review and the Company's independent public accountants assess the conclusions of the Audit Committee in connection with their audit of the Company's annual financial statements included in the Form 10-K." The Company also stated that it does not expect to make further comment regarding the Audit Committee's review until its conclusion. Finally, in a press release issued the same day, the Company announced that "out of an abundance of caution" it was suspending the Company's previously announced share repurchase program.
On this news, shares of comScore plummeted over 33%, closing at $27.04 per share on March 7, 2016, on heavy trading volume.
If you are a member of the class, you may, no later than May 9, 2016, request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff of the class. A lead plaintiff is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member's claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class. Under certain circumstances, one or more class members may together serve as "lead plaintiff." Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. You may retain Ryan & Maniskas, LLP or other counsel of your choice, to serve as your counsel in this action.
