DEADLINE ALERT: Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC Reminds Investors of Class Action Against Snap Inc. (SNAP) and Lead Plaintiff Deadline - July 17, 2017

NEW YORK, July 13, 2017 -- Attorney Advertising -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC reminds investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Snap Inc. (“Snap” or the “Company”) (NYSE:SNAP) and certain of its officers, on behalf of shareholders who purchased Snap securities (1) pursuant and/or traceable to Snap’s Registration Statement and Prospectus, issued in connection with the Company’s initial public offering on or about March 2, 2017 (the “IPO” or the “Offering”); and/or (2) on the open market between March 2, 2017 and June 6, 2017, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”). Such investors are encouraged to join this case by visiting the firm’s site: http://www.bgandg.com/snap.

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

On or around March 3, 2017, Snap completed its IPO, issuing 200,000,000 shares and raising net proceeds of approximately $3.91 billion.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants allegedly made materially false and misleading statements regarding its business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Snap’s reported user growth was materially false and misleading; and (2) consequently, Snap’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On May 10, 2017, after-market hours, Snap revealed its first quarterly report as a public company, divulging disappointing user growth at its Snapchat messaging platform.  For the quarter, Snap reported 166 million daily users, only 8 million more than in the previous period and only 44 million more than the same period in the prior year—Snapchat’s slowest year-to-year growth rate in at least two years.  Following this news, Snap stock dropped $4.93 per share, or 21.45%, to close at $18.05 on May 11, 2017.

On May 16, 2017, Bloomberg announced that a former Snap employee, Anthony Pompliano, had filed a lawsuit against Snap, “claim[ing] he was fired after three weeks on the job for raising questions about allegedly false growth metrics [and] seeking whistleblower protection against retaliation by [the] company.” Following this news, Snap stock dropped $0.02 per share, or 0.1%, to close at $20.72 on May 16, 2017.
