FINAL DEADLINE ALERT:  Brower Piven Reminds Shareholders Of Approaching Deadline In Class Action Lawsuit And Encourages Those Who Have Losses In Excess Of $100,000 From Investment In Obalon Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: OBLN) To Contact The Firm

STEVENSON, Md., April 09, 2018 -- The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California on behalf of purchasers of Obalon Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq:OBLN) (“Obalon” or the “Company”) securities during the period between October 5, 2016 and January 23, 2018, inclusive (the “Class Period”).  Investors who wish to become proactively involved in the litigation have until April 16, 2018 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff.

If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff and be selected by the Court.  The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement for the class in the action.  The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in Obalon securities during the Class Period.  Members of the class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff.  No class has yet been certified in the above action.

The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the defendants’ failure to disclose during the Class Period that the Company recognized revenue in violation of Generally Accepted Accounting principles and that the Company lacked adequate internal controls over accounting and financial reporting.

According to the complaint, following Obalon’s January 23, 2018 press release disclosing that “a purported whistleblower contacted KPMG LLP, the Company’s independent auditors, to make certain allegations relating to allegedly improper revenue recognition during the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter of 2017” and that “Obalon’s Audit Committee will oversee an internal investigation of these allegations,” the value of Obalon shares declined significantly.

If you have suffered a loss in excess of $100,000 from investment in Obalon securities purchased on or after October 5, 2016 and held through the revelation of negative information during and/or at the end of the Class Period and would like to learn more about this lawsuit and your ability to participate as a lead plaintiff, without cost or obligation to you, please contact Brower Piven either by email at [email protected] or by telephone at (410) 415-6616.
