The investigation focuses on possible breaches of fiduciary duty and violations of federal securities laws by Qurate's Board of Directors. Notably, the Company recently announced that it identified certain material weakness and deficiencies in internal control over its financial reports. As a result, Qurate explained that inaccuracies in its annual and interim consolidated financial statement could not be prevented. The Company's issues with internal controls were first disclosed in the annual report for the year ended December 31, 2018, and have remained unremediated since.
Following the announcement on February 26, QRTEA and QRTEB shares nosedived, with QRTEA shares trading for as low as $6.33 from their opening price of $10.00 and QRTEB shares traded for closing the day at $6.40, down $2.81 from their opening price of $9.21.
WeissLaw is investigating whether Qurate's Board breached its fiduciary duties to the Company and its shareholders by failing to implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls over its financial reporting process.
WeissLaw LLP has litigated hundreds of stockholder class and derivative actions for violations of corporate and fiduciary duties. We have recovered over a billion dollars for defrauded clients and obtained important corporate governance relief in many of these cases.
