CODI CLASS ACTION: Compass Diversified Holdings Investors are Notified the Company is being Sued for Securities Fraud — Contact BFA Law by the July 8 Deadline (NYSE:CODI)

NEW YORK, May 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against Compass Diversified Holdings and Compass Group Diversified Holdings, LLC (NYSE: CODI) and certain of the Company’s senior executives for potential violations of the federal securities laws.

.

Investors have until July 8, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors who purchased Compass securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California and is captioned Matthews v. Compass Group Diversified Holdings, Inc., et al., No. 25-cv-981.

Why was Compass Sued for Securities Fraud?

Compass is a statutory trust that acquires and manages a group of small and middle-market businesses. This includes Lugano Holdings, Inc., a designer, manufacturer, and marketer of high-end jewelry. The complaint alleges that the Company’s fiscal 2024 financial statements contained material misstatements relating to unrecorded financing arrangements and irregularities identified in sales, cost of sales, inventory, and accounts receivable recorded by Lugano.

The Stock Declines as the Truth is Revealed

On May 7, 2025, after the market closed, Compass announced that investors should not rely on its fiscal 2024 financial statements amid an ongoing internal investigation, led by outside counsel and a forensic accounting firm, into Lugano. The Company stated that it has “preliminarily identified irregularities in Lugano’s non-CODI financing, accounting, and inventory practices.” The Company also announced that it intended to delay the filing of its Q1 2025 financial results, and that Lugano’s founder and CEO, Moti Ferder, resigned from his positions at Lugano and will not receive any severance compensation. On this news, the price of Compass stock declined roughly 62%, from $17.25 per share on May 7, 2025, to $6.55 per share on May 8, 2025.

GERN Deadline: GERN Investors with Losses in Excess of $100K Have Opportunity to Lead Geron Corporation Securities Fraud Lawsuit

PR Newswire

NEW YORK
, May 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ —

Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Geron Corporation (NASDAQ: GERN) between February 28, 2024 and February 25, 2025, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important May 12, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.

So what: If you purchased Geron securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

What to do next: To join the Geron class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=36747 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than May 12, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) despite contrary representations to investors, a lack of awareness of RYTELO among health care providers, the weekly monitoring requirement, and seasonality and existing competition would impair Geron’s ability to capitalize on the purportedly significant unmet need for the drug; (2) accordingly, the RYTELO launch was unlikely to be as profitable as Geron had led investors to believe; (3) as a result, Geron’s business and/or financial prospects were overstated; and (4) as a result, Geron’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Geron class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=36747 or https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=28116call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

NEW YORK
, May 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ —

Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of The Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: TBBK) between January 25, 2024 and March 4, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important May 16, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.

A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, during the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Bancorp had underrepresented the significant risk of default or loss on its REBL loan portfolio; (2) Bancorp’s current expected credit loss methodology was insufficient to account for the provision and/or allowance of credit losses; (3) as a result of the foregoing, Bancorp was reasonably likely to increase its provision for credit losses; (4) there were material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting; (5) its financial statements had not been approved by its independent auditor; (6) as a result of the foregoing, defendants’ positive statements about Bancorp’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Bancorp class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=37146 or https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=28116call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.
