STEVENSON, Md., Oct. 05, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of purchasers of Health Insurance Innovations, Inc. (Nasdaq: HIIQ ) (“Health Insurance Innovations” or the “Company”) securities during the period between August 2, 2017 and September 11, 2017, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Investors who wish to become proactively involved in the litigation have until November 10, 2017 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff.
If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff and be selected by the Court. The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement for the class in the action. The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in Health Insurance Innovations securities during the Class Period. Members of the class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff. No class has yet been certified in the above action.
The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the defendants’ failure to disclose during the Class Period that the Health Insurance Innovations’ application for a key insurance license in its home state of Florida was rejected due to the state’s Office of Insurance Regulation’s (“OIR”) discovery of undisclosed legal actions against Health Insurance Innovations insiders and that Health Insurance Innovations warned the OIR of the anticipated “domino effect” that the rejection was likely to cause, by which the Company would subsequently lose licenses in additional states.
According to the complaint, following a September 11, 2017 article reporting on the OIR’s June 2017 rejection of Health Insurance Innovations’ application, the value of Health Insurance Innovations shares declined significantly.
If you have suffered a loss in excess of $100,000 from investment in Health Insurance Innovations securities purchased on or after August 2, 2017 and held through the revelation of negative information during and/or at the end of the Class Period and would like to learn more about this lawsuit and your ability to participate as a lead plaintiff, without cost or obligation to you, please visit our website at http://www.browerpiven.com/currentsecuritiescases.html .
