Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP – Important Deadline Reminder for USA Technologies, Inc. Investors


RADNOR, Pa, Oct. 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The law firm of Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP reminds USA Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:  USAT) (“USA Technologies”) investors that a securities fraud class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against USA Technologies on behalf of purchasers of USA Technologies publicly traded securities between November 9, 2017 through September 11, 2018, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

REMINDER:  Investors who purchased USA Technologies securities during the Class Period may, no later than November 13, 2018, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class.

According to the complaint, USA Technologies provides wireless networking, cashless transactions, asset monitoring, and other value-added services in the United States and internationally.

The Class Period commences on November 9, 2017, when the company filed a Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 with the SEC, which provided the company’s first quarter 2018 financial results and position.

The complaint alleges that on September 11, 2018, USA Technologies disclosed that it was unable to timely file its Form 10-K with the SEC for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 as it was “conducting an internal investigation of current and prior period matters relating to certain of the Company’s contractual arrangements, including the accounting treatment, financial reporting and internal controls related to such arrangements.”

Following this news, shares of USA Technologies fell $5.74 per share, or over 37%, during intraday trading on September 11, 2018.

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) USA Technologies’ treatment of contractual arrangements in its financial statements would result in an internal investigation and delay the filing of its annual report for fiscal year 2018; (2) consequently, USA Technologies’ internal controls over financial reporting were weak and deficient; and (3) as a result, the defendants’ statements about USA Technologies’ business, operations and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
