The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida on behalf of all those who purchased Tech Data common stock between June 1, 2017 and August 31, 2017 (the "Class Period"). The case, Bhatt v. Tech Data Corporation, et al, No. 8:17-cv-02185 was filed on September 21, 2017, and has been assigned to Judge Anthony E. Porcelli.

The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws. Specifically, Tech Data made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company was experiencing execution and operational issues; (2) these issues were impacting the Company's financial performance; (3) consequently, the Company would not achieve its guidance; and (4) therefore the Company's financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

Specifically, on June 1, 2017, Tech Data issued a press release and filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announcing the Company's financial and operating results for the quarter ended April 30, 2017. The Company disclosed, in part, that "[f]or the quarter ending July 31, 2017, the Company anticipates non-GAAP EPS to be in the range of $1.95 and $2.08." Then on August 31, 2017, Tech Data issued a press release and filed a Form 8-K with the SEC announcing the Company's financial and operating results for the quarter ended July 31, 2017. Therein, the Company reported non-GAAP diluted EPS of $1.74 far from the previous guidance.

After the announcement, Tech Data's share price fell from $110.81 per share on August 31, 2017 to a closing price of $89.01 on September 1, 2017—a $22.83 or a 20.69% drop.

The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Tech Data's conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.
