SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Brower Piven Encourages Investors Who Have Losses In Excess Of $100,000 From Investment In Roadrunner Transportation Systems, Inc. (RRTS) To Contact Brower Piven Before The Lead Plaintiff Deadline In Class Action Lawsuit

STEVENSON, Md., Feb. 26, 2017 -- 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 Eastern District of Wisconsin on behalf of purchasers of Roadrunner Transportation Systems, Inc. (NYSE:RRTS) (“Roadrunner” or the “Company”) common stock during the period between May 8, 2014 through January 30, 2017, inclusive (the “Class Period”).  Investors who wish to become proactively involved in the litigation have until April 3, 2017 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 Roadrunner common stock 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 Roadrunner lacked effective internal controls over financial reporting, and its financial statements dating back to the beginning of 2014 overstated the estimated results of operations and contained errors relating to unrecorded expenses from unreconciled balance sheet accounts including cash, driver and other receivables, and linehaul and other driver payables.

According to the complaint, following a November 10, 2016 notification of late filing due to identifying a mistake in the calculation of the cash flow leverage ratio, and a January 30, 2017 press release announcing a restatement of prior financial statements, the value of Roadrunner shares declined significantly.

If you have suffered a loss in excess of $100,000 from investment in Roadrunner common stock purchased on or after May 8, 2014 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 visit our website at http://www.browerpiven.com/currentsecuritiescases.html.  You may also request more information by contacting Brower Piven either by email at [email protected] or by telephone at (410) 415-6616.  Brower Piven also encourages anyone with information regarding the Company’s conduct during the period in question to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.
