NEW YORK, Aug. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorney Advertising -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC is investigating potential claims on behalf of purchasers of the securities of The First Marblehead Corporation ("First Marblehead Corp." or the "Company") (NYSE: FMD). The investigation focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws.
On August 16, 2013, shares of First Marblehead Corp. fell $0.57 per share or 36.30% to close at $1.00 after the company announced in a press release that it is being audited by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") in connection with the sale of a trust certificate. In the release, First Marblehead Corp. disclosed that it expects to receive a Notice of Proposed Adjustment, pursuant to which the IRS would seek to disallow losses that generated tax refunds previously received by the Company, as well as require the Company to include in its tax returns any taxable income from the sale of the trust certificate. The Company further stated that the disallowance of the loss, coupled with the additional taxable income, would create a proposed adjustment estimated at approximately $300 million plus interest.
