Law
Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that a class action lawsuit has
been filed on behalf of investors of MDC Partners, Inc. ("MDC" or the
"Company") (NASDAQ:MDCA) who purchased shares between September 23, 2013
and April 27, 2015, inclusive (the “Class Period”) and have been damaged
by the recent declines in the Company’s stock price. MDC investors have
until September 29, 2015 to file a lead plaintiff motion.
Investors who suffered losses in excess of $50,000 are encouraged to
contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights.
The complaint alleges that MDC and certain of its executives failed to
disclose material information to investors in violation of federal
securities laws, including information regarding MDC's business,
executive compensation, related-party transactions, goodwill, prospects
and operations. On April 27, 2015, MDC reported that (1) on October 5,
2014, it had received a subpoena from the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") related to the reimbursement of expenses incurred
by CEO Miles Nadal, the Company's goodwill, and certain other accounting
practices; (2) as a result of an investigation by Special Committee of
independent directors formed in response to the subpoena Mr. Nadal had
agreed to reimburse the Company $8.6 million; and (3) during the fiscal
quarter the Company incurred approximately $5.8 million in legal fees
and other related expenses related to the SEC inquiry. When the truth
was revealed to investors, the price of MDC’s shares declined sharply,
by $7.78 per share or nearly 30%, thereby damaging investors.
If you purchased shares of MDC during the Class Period you may move the
Court no later than September 29, 2015 to ask the Court to
appoint you as lead plaintiff if you meet certain legal requirements. To
be a member of the Class you need not take any action at this time; you
may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent
member of the Class. If you wish to learn more about this action, or if
you have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or
interests with respect to these matters, please contact Howard G. Smith,
