NEW YORK, April 12, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, reminds investors in Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. (“Kandi” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: KNDI ) of the May 15, 2017 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action lawsuit filed against the Company and certain officers.
The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of all those who purchased Kandi securities between March 16, 2015 and March 13, 2017 (the “Class Period”). The case, Paolini v. Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. et al , No. 2:17-cv-02025 was filed on March 14, 2017.
The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) certain areas in Kandi’s previously issued financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the first three quarters for the year ended December 31, 2016 required adjustment; (2) in turn, Kandi lacked effective controls over financial reporting; and (3) as a result, the Company’s statements about its business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
Specifically, on March 13, 2017, the Company filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) disclosing that its previously issued financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the first three quarters for the year ended December 31, 2016 will need to be restated.
On this news, Kandi’s share price fell from $4.35 per share on March 13, 2017 to a closing price of $4.05 on March 14, 2017—a $0.30 or a 6.9% drop.
