SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 30, 2017
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 30, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP reminds investors in Rent-A-Center (NASDAQ: RCII) of the February 21, 2017 Lead Plaintiff deadline in the pending securities class action lawsuit.
If you purchased or otherwise acquired securities of Rent-A-Center between July 27, 2015 and October 10, 2016 and suffered over $50,000 in losses contact Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP. For more information visit:
or contact Reed Kathrein, who is leading the firm's investigation, by calling 510-725-3000 or emailing RCII@hbsslaw.com.
On July 28, 2016, RCII announced it had alleviated previous point-of-sale ("POS") system issues after implementation of the Company's new POS system negatively affected sales.
On October 11, 2016, RCII shares tumbled over 28% on heavy trading after the Company disclosed its third quarter 2016 U.S. store sales would be down approximately 12%. Defendants again pointed to the POS system as the culprit – "[f]ollowing the implementation of our new point-of-sale system ["POS"], we experienced system performance issues and outages" that negatively impacted Core sales.
Effective December 2, 2016, RCII's CFO, Guy J. Constant, resigned. On January 9, 2017, RCII's CEO, Robert D. Davis, also resigned.
"Whenever a company's management says significant business issues are fixed, reasonable investors are entitled to take those statements at face value without having to independently vet them," said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein. "We're investigating when RCII knew its POS system was still an issue."
