According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges on behalf of purchasers of Global Power Equipment Group Inc (NYSE: GLPW) common shares between March 9, 2015 and May 6, 2015, that the defendants violated Federal Securities Laws.
More specifically, the plaintiff claims that that Global Power Equipment Group Inc’s cost of sales in its financial statements for the annual period ended December 31, 2014 were understated, that Global Power Equipment Group Inc lacked adequate internal controls over its financial reporting, and that as a result of the foregoing, Global Power Equipment Group Inc’s financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On May 6, 2015, Global Power Equipment Group Inc announced that its financial statements for the annual period ended December 31, 2014 should not be relied upon and will be restated due to errors resulting in an understatement of the Company’s cost of sales in the quarterly and annual periods ended December 31, 2014. Shares of Global Power Equipment Group Inc (NYSE: GLPW) declined on May 12, 2105, to as low as $7.57 per share.
