Ryan & Maniskas, LLP Announces Class Action Lawsuit Against Performance Sports Group Ltd.

WAYNE, Pa., March 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Ryan & Maniskas, LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in United States District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of purchasers of Performance Sports Group Ltd. ("PSG" or the "Company") (NYSE: PSG) between August 27, 2015 and March 7, 2016, inclusive (the "Class Period").

PSG shareholders may, no later than May 17, 2016, move the Court for appointment as a lead plaintiff of the Class.  If you purchased shares of PSG 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/psg.   

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 8, 2016, before the market opened, the Company issued a press release revising guidance for the year ending May 31, 2016.  According to the release, The Company reduced its fiscal year 2016 Adjusted EPS guidance by approximately $0.55 per diluted share to approximately $0.12 to $0.14 per diluted share as compared to its prior publication of guidance ($0.66 to $0.69 per diluted share), primarily as a result of the following three factors: (i) a write down of the receivable balance from a U.S. national sporting goods retailer that has filed under chapter 11 and the related anticipated loss of sales from this retailer ($0.09 per share); (ii) an anticipated reduction in sales, particularly due to weakness in the baseball/softball market ($0.31 per share); and (iii) additional bad debt reserves primarily for certain U.S. hockey customers and the related anticipated loss of sales from such customers ($0.19 per share).

On this news, shares of PSG plummeted over 66%, closing at $2.91 per share on March 8, 2016, on heavy trading volume.

If you are a member of the class, you may, no later than May 17, 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.
