Ryan & Maniskas, LLP Announces Class Action Lawsuit Against LifeVantage Corporation

WAYNE, Pa., Sept. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --  Ryan & Maniskas, LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in United States District Court for the District of Utah on behalf of all persons or entities that purchased the common stock of LifeVantage Corporation (NASDAQ: LFVN) ("LifeVantage" or the "Company") on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired LifeVantage securities between November 4, 2015 and September 13, 2016 both dates inclusive (the "Class Period").

LifeVantage shareholders may, no later than November 14, 2016, move the Court for appointment as a lead plaintiff of the Class.  If you purchased shares of LifeVantage 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/lfvn.

LifeVantage identifies, researches, develops, and distributes nutraceutical dietary supplements and skin care products.  LifeVantage Corporation sells its products through a network of independent distributors and preferred customers in the United States, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, Canada, the Philippines, Mexico, and Thailand.  The Company also sells its products online.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects.  Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) LifeVantage lacked effective internal financial controls; (ii) as a result, the Company had improperly accounted for sales in certain international markets, along with associated revenue and income tax accruals; and (iii) as a result of the foregoing, LifeVantage's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On September 13, 2016, post-market, LifeVantage issued a press release and filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission, announcing a delay in the release of the Company's fourth quarter and fiscal year 2016 financial results, citing an internal review "relate[d] to sales of the Company's products in certain international markets and the determination of revenue and the deductibility of commission and incentive expenses associated with such sales, as well as the policies and procedures related to sales in those specific markets."

On this news, LifeVantage stock fell $1.32, or 12.69%, to close at $9.08 on September 14, 2016.

If you are a member of the class, you may, no later than November 14, 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.
