The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP is investigating potential claims against Interface, Inc. (“Interface” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: TILE). This investigation concerns whether Interface has violated federal securities laws and/or engaged in other unlawful business practices.
On April 24, 2019, Interface disclosed that the Company had received a letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in November 2017 and subsequent subpoenas from the SEC in February 2018, July 2018, and April 2019 concerning “the Company’s historical quarterly earnings per share (“EPS”) calculations and rounding practices during the period 2014-2017.” Interface also disclosed that it has placed its Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer on paid administrative leave after it learned that in 2018, in the process of collecting materials from 2015, 2016, and 2017 for production to the SEC, he had added certain notes to those materials that were then produced to the SEC.
