The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of all those who purchased B Comm securities between November 7, 2013 and June 19, 2017 (the “Class Period”). The case, Maleeff v. B Communications Ltd et al., No. 17-cv-04937 was filed on June 29, 2017.
The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose that the Company’s principal shareholder Shaul Elovitch (“Elovitch”) was engaged in potentially illegal activities regarding the merger between Bezeq The Israel Telecommunication Corporation Limited (“Bezeq”) and Bezeq’s subsidiary, D.B.S., Satellite Services (1998) Ltd. (“DBS”).
Specifically, on June 20, 2017, The Times of Israel reported that the Israel Securities Authority (“ISA”) raided the offices of Bezeq and detained Elovitch. The ISA stated that it was investigating “suspicions of violations of the securities law and the penal code relating to transactions connected to” Elovitch. Additionally, the Israeli publication, Globes , reported that the ISA is investigating the aforementioned merger, as well as payments the unit made to Eurocom Communications Ltd. under pressure from Elovitch.
After the announcement, B Comm’s share price fell from $21.50 per share on June 19, 2017 to a closing price of $20.50 on June 20, 2017—a $1.00 or a 4.65% drop.
