The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional
Corporation, announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York on
behalf of purchasers of Etsy, Inc. (“Etsy” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:
ETSY) securities during the period between April 16, 2015 and May 10,
2015, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Investors who wish to become
proactively involved in the litigation have until July 13, 2015 to seek
appointment as lead plaintiff.
If you have suffered a loss from investment in Etsy securities purchased
on or after April 16, 2015 and held through the revelation of negative
information during and/or at the end of the Class Period, as described
below, and would like to learn more about this lawsuit and your ability
to participate as a lead plaintiff, without cost or obligation to you,
please visit our website at http://www.browerpiven.com/currentsecuritiescases.html.
You may also request more information by contacting Brower Piven either
by email at hoffman@browerpiven.com
or by telephone at (410) 415-6616. No class has yet been certified in
the above action. Members of the Class will be represented by the lead
plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff.
If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the Class, you must
apply to be appointed lead plaintiff and be selected by the Court. The
lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important
decisions including whether to accept a settlement for the Class in the
action. The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants
claiming the largest loss from investment in Company securities during
the Class Period. Brower Piven also encourages anyone with
information regarding the Company’s conduct during the period in
question to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former
employees, shareholders and others.
The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the defendants’ failure to disclose
during the Class Period that more than 5% of all merchandise for sale on
Etsy’s website were either counterfeit or constituted trademark or
copyright infringement and that brands are increasingly pursuing sellers
on Etsy’s platform for trademark or copyright infringement, jeopardizing
the Company’s listing fees and commissions.
According to the complaint, following reports that an analyst had noted
that more than 5% of merchandise sold on Etsy’s platform may be
counterfeit and/or constitute trademark or copyright infringement, the
value of Etsy shares declined significantly.
Attorneys at Brower Piven have extensive experience in litigating
securities and other class action cases and have been advocating for the
rights of shareholders since the 1980s. If you choose to retain counsel,
you may retain Brower Piven without financial obligation or cost to you,
or you may retain other counsel of your choice. You need take no action
at this time to be a member of the class.
