NEW YORK, Feb. 24, 2017 -- Gainey McKenna & Egleston announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Global Eagle Entertainment Inc. (“Global Eagle” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:ENT) in the United States District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of persons or entities who purchased Global Eagle stock on the open market from November 9, 2016 through February 20, 2017, inclusive (the “Class Period”), seeking to recover compensable damages caused by Defendants’ violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The Complaint alleges that Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company’s remediation plans to address the material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting were deficient; and (2) as a result, Defendants’ statements about the Company’s business, operations and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
