SAN FRANCISCO, June 28, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, with nine offices in eight cities around the country and eighty attorneys, reminds investors in PriceSmart, Inc. (NASDAQ: PSMT) of the Lead Plaintiff deadline in the securities class action, Harari v. PriceSmart, Inc., et al., No. 3:19-cv-00958, pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California.
If you purchased or otherwise acquired PriceSmart securities between October 26, 2017 and October 25, 2018 (the “Class Period”) and suffered losses you do not need to sign up to be included in the putative class of investors.

According to the complaint, Defendants misled investors by concealing material weaknesses in PriceSmart’s internal controls over financial reporting. More specifically, Defendants admittedly overstated the Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances during the three, six and nine month periods ended November 30, 2017, February 28, 2018, and May 31, 2018.
“We’re focused on investors’ losses, management’s statements about PriceSmart’s immediate sources of liquidity, circumstances surrounding the CEO’s abrupt departure during October 2018, and whether investors may have been misled,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding PriceSmart should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under the new program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.
