Deadline Alert: The Law Offices of Howard G. Smith Reminds Investors of Looming Deadline in the Class Action Lawsuit Against GreenSky, Inc.

BENSALEM, Pa.--()--Law Offices of Howard G. Smith reminds investors of the January 28, 2019 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors that purchased GreenSky, Inc. (“GreenSky” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: GSKY) shares in GreenSky’s initial public offering (“IPO”), which closed on May 29, 2018. GreenSky investors have until January 28, 2019 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

Investors suffering losses on their GreenSky investments are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 888-638-4847 or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com.

On November 6, 2018, GreenSky lowered its full year 2018 transaction volume guidance from between $5.1 and $5.3 billion to between $4.9 and $5.1 billion, and lowered its full year 2018 Adjusted EBITDA guidance from between $192 and $199 million to between $165 and $175 million. GreenSky attributed the reduction to a general labor shortage and unfavorable shifts in its loan mix. On this news, GreenSky’s share price fell $5.38 per share, or 36.7%, to close at $9.28 per share on November 6, 2018, thereby injuring investors.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that Defendants made false and misleading statements and omissions in the Offering Documents about the revenue effects of the change in the classes of merchants for whom it facilitated loans. The Offering Documents did not disclose a significant change in GreenSky’s merchant business mix, a change that caused a drop in transaction revenue. Months after the IPO closed, the Company released a press release stating that its transaction-fee rate was considerably below that achieved in the third quarter of 2017. The Company blamed this drop on a general labor shortage, and a shifting loan mix. The Company’s statements and Offering Documents were false and materially misleading throughout the IPO period.

If you purchased shares of GreenSky during the Class Period you may move the Court no later than January 28, 2019 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff if you meet certain legal requirements. To be a member of the Class you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the Class.
