Kirby McInerney LLP announced today that it has filed a class action
lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York on behalf of investors who acquired Genworth Financial, Inc.
(“Genworth” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GNW) securities during the period
from December 4, 2013 through July 29, 2014 (the “class period”).
Pursuant to applicable law, investors have until November 17, 2014 to
file a motion to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the investor lawsuit.
The lawsuit charges that throughout the class period, the Company failed
to disclose: (1) that the Company’s long term care insurance (“LTC”)
claims were increasing in number and size; (2) that the Company would
have to increase its reserves to meet these claims; and (3) that, as a
result of the foregoing, the Company’s statements about its business,
operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or
lacked a reasonable basis.
On July 29, 2014, after the market close, the Company issued a press
release announcing that its LTC insurance division suffered from higher
losses than the prior quarter due to the increased number and size of
LTC insurance claims. The Company announced that it was conducting a
comprehensive review of the adequacy of its claim reserves. On this
news, shares of Genworth declined $2.28 per share, over 14%, to close on
July 30, 2014, at $13.98 per share, on unusually heavy volume.
