SAN FRANCISCO, March 16, 2017 -- Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP reminds investors in AmTrust Financial Services Inc. (NASDAQ:AFSI) of the May 1, 2017 Lead Plaintiff deadline in the pending securities class action related to admitted material weaknesses in internal controls.

On February 27, 2017 AmTrust disclosed it would not timely file its 2016 annual financial statements. The Company explained it “identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting that existed as of December 31, 2016, specifically related to ineffective assessment of the risks associated with the financial reporting, and an insufficient complement of corporate accounting and corporate financial reporting resources within the organization.”
This news drove the price of AmTrust shares down over 15% during intraday trading on February 27, 2017.
“We’re concerned about the admitted material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting and whether there will be a restatement of financial statements,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
