Block & Leviton LLP Reminds Investors of Upcoming Deadline Regarding Shareholder Litigation Filed Against EZCORP, Inc. and Certain of Its Officers and Directors

BOSTON, Aug. 10, 2015

Class action litigation was initially filed against the Company on July 20, 2015. The suit alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is currently pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. The Complaint was brought on behalf of all investors who purchased or otherwise acquired EZCORP's securities (the "Class") between October 27, 2014 and July 16, 2015 (the "Class Period").

The Complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose material information, including with respect to the Company's accounting of Grupo Finmart's structured asset sales. As a result, on July 17, 2015, the Company announced that it would restate its financial statements for fiscal 2014 (including the interim periods within that year) and the first quarter of fiscal 2015. EZCORP also announced that the previously issued financial statements for those periods should no longer be relied upon. This news caused EZCORP's share price to drop substantially, harming investors.

Plaintiffs seek to recover damages on behalf of all Class members. If you are a shareholder who purchased securities of EZCORP during the Class Period, you only have until September 18, 2015 to seek appointment as a lead plaintiff in this action. This deadline is mandated by federal law and cannot be extended. Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision to serve or seek appointment as lead plaintiff.
