The complaint charges that Kohlberg and its two top executive officers violated the federal securities laws by issuing false and misleading financial statements during the Class Period. The complaint alleges that defendants violated Generally Accepted Accounting Principles by failing to properly account for the fair value of its investment portfolio. The complaint further alleges that the Company misrepresented its efforts with its auditor, Deloitte and Touche LLP ("Deloitte"), to resolve issues regarding the Company's fair value accounting. When these allegations came to light, the market value of Kohlberg securities dropped, damaging investors.
A class action lawsuit has already been filed on behalf of Kohlberg shareholders. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than March 1, 2010.
