NEW YORK, June 02, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed
in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee on behalf of all persons or entities who acquired CBL &
Associates Properties, Inc. (“CBL” or “Company”) (NYSE:CBL) securities between August 8, 2013 and May 24, 2016 (the “Class
Period”), inclusive.
Shareholders who have purchased CBL common stock within the class period and incurred losses, are
urged to contact the firm immediately at classmember@whafh.com or (800) 575-0735 or (212) 545-4774.
If you purchased shares of CBL and suffered a loss, you may request that the Court appoint you lead plaintiff of
the proposed class no later than July 26, 2016.
On May 24, 2016, the Wall Street Journal reported that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are probing into whether CBL falsified information on financial statements to
banks when applying for financing. According to the Wall Street Journal, the officials are focusing on whether CBL
inflated rental income and occupancy rates for its properties when providing those figures to banks. Federal investigators are
separately questioning the relationship between the company and U.S. Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee, who has friendly ties to
CBL's senior executives and has made millions of dollars in profits trading the company's stock in recent years.
On this news, CBL's stock declined 8.4% to close at $9.40 per share on May 25, 2016.
