NEW YORK, March 24, 2017 -- -- Attorney Advertising -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC reminds investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Aetna Inc. (“Aetna” or the “Company”) (NYSE:AET) and certain of its officers, on behalf of shareholders who purchased Aetna securities between August 15, 2016 and January 20, 2017, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Such investors are encouraged to join this case by visiting the firm’s site: http://www.bgandg.com/aet.

This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Aetna and its senior executives tried to influence Aetna’s participation in the Public Exchanges for positive treatment from regulators regarding the Humana acquisition; (2) Aetna threatened to limit its involvement in public health insurance exchanges if the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) tried to block the merger; (3) Aetna did not withdraw from certain public health insurance exchanges for business reasons as Defendants claimed, but to follow through on its threat of leaving the marketplace once the DOJ filed suit and to improve its litigation position; (4) Aetna withdrew from public health insurance exchanges that were profitable for Aetna; and (5) consequently, Defendants’ statements regarding Aetna’s business, operations, and prospects were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
