Specifically, the SEC stated in a press release announcing the lawsuit that “[a]s alleged, by avoiding an impairment to its goodwill in 2016, Sequential inflated its income from operations, created a false impression of its financial condition, and misstated its financial statements and reports for almost a year.”
On this news, the Company’s stock price fell $2.03, or 11%, to close at $16.20 per share on December 11, 2020, thereby injuring investors.
If you purchased Sequential securities, have information or would like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Howard G.
