NEW YORK, Sept. 12, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, reminds
investors in RiT Technologies Ltd. (“RiT” or the “Company”) (OTC:RITT) of the September 26, 2016 deadline to seek the role of lead
plaintiff in a federal securities class action lawsuit filed against the Company and certain officers.
The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of all those who
purchased RiT securities between March 3, 2015 and July 1, 2016 (the “Class Period”). The case, PADGETT v. RIT
TECHNOLOGIES LTD. et al, No. 2:16-cv-04579 was filed on July 28, 2016, and has been assigned to Judge Kevin Charles
McNulty.
The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false
and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) RiT CIS was RiT Technologies’ major distributor in Russia and the
CIS region; (2) RiT CIS was vital to the viability of RiT Technologies; and (3) as a result, RiT Technologies’ public statements
were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
Specifically, on February 11, 2016, the Company issued a press release revealing that RiT CIS was RiT’s major
distributor in Russia and the CIS region and was delaying payments to the Company thus adversely impacting RiT’s current cash
flow.
After this announcement, RiT’s share price fell from $1.19 per share on February 10, 2016 to a closing price of
$0.59 on February 11, 2016—a $0.60 or a 50.42% drop.
Additionally, on April 20, 2016, the Company issued a press release announcing that the collection progress of its
Russian distributor’s overdue debts was significantly lower than planned, and that the CFO of RiT had resigned effective
immediately.
On this news, RiT’s share price fell from $0.69 per share on April 19, 2016 to a closing price of $0.37 on April
20, 2016—a $0.32 or a 46.38% drop.
The lawsuit also alleges several other news disclosures such as: 1) on May 10, 2016, RiT announced that it had made
no progress in the collection of the overdue debts of RiT CIS; 2) on June 3, 2016, RiT announced the resignation of the President
and CEO of the Company; 3) on June 28, 2016, RiT announced that its request for continued listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market was
denied, that trading of its securities will be suspended by NASDAQ on July 1, 2016 and thereafter be removed from listing on the
NASDAQ; 4) and lastly on July 5, 2016, RiT announced that a group of the Company’s employees had filed petitions with the Tel Aviv
District Court to liquidate the Company.
As a result of these announcements, RiT’s share price fell from $0.34 per share on May 9, 2016 to a closing price
of $0.09 on July 5, 2016—a $0.25 or a 73.53% drop.
