RADNOR, PA / ACCESSWIRE / May 14, 2018 / Kaskela Law LLC alerts Kulicke & Soffa Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: KLIC) ("Kulicke & Soffa" or the "Company") investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of purchasers of the Company's securities between November 16, 2017 and May 10, 2018, inclusive (the "Class Period").
DEADLINE ALERT: Investors who purchased Kulicke & Soffa securities during the Class Period may, no later than July 10, 2018, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the investor class. Kulicke & Soffa investors are encouraged to visit www.kaskelalaw.com/case/kulicke-soffa for additional information about this action prior to the deadline.
On May 10, 2018, Kulicke & Soffa disclosed that it had "learned of certain unauthorized transactions by a senior finance employee of the Company," and that the Company's "previously issued consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 can no longer be relied upon due to the misstated warranty accruals made in prior periods."
Following this news, shares of the Company's stock declined $1.80 per share, or over 7.5%, to close on May 11, 2018 at $21.99, on heavy trading volume.
The shareholder class action complaint alleges that Kulicke & Soffa and certain of its senior executive officers made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose to investors that: (i) Kulicke and Soffa's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2017 could no longer be relied upon due to misstated warranty accruals; and (ii) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. The complaint further alleges that, as a result of the foregoing, investors purchased Kulicke & Soffa's securities at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period and sustained investment losses following the Company's May 10, 2018 disclosures.
