Kaplan Fox Files Securities Class Action on Behalf of Purchasers of Facebook, Inc. Common Stock
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Jun 1, 2012) - Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP ([ www.kaplanfox.com ]) has filed a class action suit against Facebook, Inc. ("Facebook" or the "Company") (
The case is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. A copy of the Complaint may be obtained from Kaplan Fox or the Court.
The Complaint alleges that statements in Facebook's Registration Statement and Prospectus that use of Facebook through the Company's mobile products as a substitute for use on personal computers may negatively affect the Company's revenue and financial results were untrue statements of material fact and/or omitted to state material facts required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading because, at the time of the IPO, users' access of Facebook through mobile products had already materially negatively affected Facebook's revenue and earnings and caused Facebook to materially reduce its revenue and earnings estimates for the quarter ending June 30, 2012 and for full years 2012 and 2013.
The Complaint further alleges that prior to the IPO, certain of the Underwriter Defendants materially lowered their revenue and earnings estimates for Facebook's quarter ending June 30, 2012 and full years 2012 and 2013, but the material information about Facebook's revenue and earnings was not disclosed in the Registration Statement.
On May 22, 2012, the price of Facebook's Class A common stock declined from a closing price on May 21, 2012 of $34.03 per share to close at $31 per share, a decline of $3.03 per share or approximately 9%, down more than 18% from the $38 per share IPO price on May 18, 2012.
