WAC Investors: GPM Reminds Investors of the May 15 Deadline in the Class Action Lawsuit Against Walter Investment
Management
Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP (“GPM”) reminds investors of the May 15, 2017 deadline to file a
lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased Walter Investment Management (“Walter
Investment” or the “Company”) (NYSE: WAC) securities between May 3, 2016 and March 13, 2017, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Walter Investment
investors have until May 15, 2017 to file a lead plaintiff motion in this lawsuit.
On March 14, 2017, the Company disclosed that it received a subpoena from the HUD Inspector General for documents and
information relating to origination and underwriting of certain specified loans. The Company further disclosed that the Justice
Department’s Civil Division is coordinating the investigation, and there is a possibility of a demand or a claim under the False
Claims Act. The Company also disclosed a material weakness in its Ditech unit and is taking steps to remediate the
weakness. On this news the Company’s shares fell $1.05 per share, or nearly 40%, on March 14, 2017.
The Complaint filed in this class action lawsuit alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false
and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and
prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the Company’s
Ditech subsidiary had a material weakness in its internal control over operational processes; (ii) accordingly, the Company lacked
effective internal controls over financial reporting; and (iii) as a result of the foregoing, Walter’s public statements were
materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
If you purchased or otherwise acquired Walter Investment shares during the Class Period you may move the Court no later
than May 15, 2017 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in the putative class action lawsuit. 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
