Scott+Scott, Attorneys at Law, LLP Reminds Investors of Upcoming April 24th Deadline in Global Eagle Entertainment, Inc. (ENT) Securities Case

NEW YORK, April 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Scott+Scott, Attorneys at Law, LLP ("Scott+Scott"), a national shareholder and consumer rights litigation firm, reminds investors that Monday, April 24, 2017 is the last day to file lead plaintiff papers in the lawsuit against Global Eagle Entertainment, Inc. ("Global Eagle" or the "Company") related to potential violations of federal securities laws.  If you purchased or acquired Global Eagle shares between July 27, 2016 and February 20, 2017 (dates inclusive), you are encouraged to contact Scott+Scott for more information. 

Global Eagle provides content, connectivity, and digital media solutions for the travel industry worldwide.  On July 27, 2016, Global Eagle announced that it had completed its acquisition of communication services provider Emergency Markets Communications ("EMC").  Global Eagle subsequently touted in press releases and in filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") the success of the EMC acquisition. 

On February 21, 2017, Global Eagle announced that its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer had resigned from their positions.  The Company further revealed that it expected to file its Annual Report for fiscal year 2016 after the March 16, 2017 SEC deadline, citing the company's "increased size and complexity" after its acquisition of EMC, its need to transition the finance department in the wake of the CFO's departure, and its need to complete additional financial-closing procedures associated with the company's material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

On this news, Global Eagle's stock fell $1.74 per share, or nearly 28%, to close at $4.48 per share on February 21, 2017.
