Deadline Alert: The Law Offices of Howard G. Smith Reminds Investors of Looming Deadline in the Class Action Lawsuit Against
Philip Morris International Inc.
Law Offices of Howard G. Smith reminds investors of the November 5, 2018 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion
in the class action filed on behalf of investors that purchased Philip Morris International Inc. (“Philip Morris” or the “Company”)
(NYSE:
PM) securities between July 26, 2016, and April 18, 2018, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Philip Morris investors
have until November 5, 2018 to file a lead plaintiff motion.
Investors suffering losses on their Philip Morris investments are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to
discuss their legal rights in this class action at 888-638-4847 or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com.
The Complaint filed in this class action alleges that during the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements
and/or failed to disclose adverse information regarding the Company's business and prospects, including that Philip Morris was
experiencing a faster decline in overall cigarette and e-cigarette (or "heated tobacco") sales volumes during the first quarter of
2018 than investors had been led to believe, that its much-lauded sales initiatives had stalled, and that it was experiencing
adverse sales headwinds in key markets. As a result of these misrepresentations, Philip Morris stock traded at artificially
inflated prices during the Class Period, reaching a high of $109 per share.
If you purchased shares of Philip Morris during the Class Period you may move the Court no later than November 5,
2018 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, Esquire, of Law Offices of Howard G. Smith, 3070
