Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP Reminds Investors of Pending Securities Class Actions Against Aceto Corporation (ACET)

NEW YORK, June 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP ("Scott+Scott"), a national securities and consumer rights litigation firm, reminds investors that class action lawsuits have been filed against Aceto Corporation (NASDAQ: ACET) ("Aceto" or the "Company") and other defendants, related to alleged violations of federal securities laws.  If you purchased shares of Aceto between August 25, 2017 and April 18, 2018, you are encouraged to contact a Scott+Scott attorney at (844) 818-6982 for additional information.  Investors have until June 25, 2018, to move for lead plaintiff.

Aceto markets, sells, and distributes human health products, pharmaceutical ingredients, and performance chemicals.

The lawsuit alleges that defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Aceto failed to implement and enforce proper internal control to identify the misapplication of cash; (ii) Aceto would incur large non-cash intangible asset impairment charges; (iii) Aceto lacked effective internal control over financial reporting; (iv) Aceto's financial results for the fiscal year 2017 could not be relied upon; (v) Aceto's fiscal 2018 financial guidance was overstated; and (vi) as a result of the foregoing, Aceto's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On April 18, 2018, Aceto issued a press release disclosing that: (1) their financial guidance issued on February 1, 2018 should no longer be relied upon; (2) Aceto anticipates recording asset impairment charges in the range of $230 million to $260 million on certain currently marketed and pipeline generic products; and (3) Aceto's Chief Financial Officer resigned after just two months in that position.

On this news, the price of Aceto shares fell $4.74 – over 64% – from a close price of $7.40 on April 18, 2018, to a close price of $2.66 on April 19, 2018.
