SAN DIEGO, Sept. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP ("Robbins Geller") (http://www.rgrdlaw.com/cases/trinet/) previously announced the filing of a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of purchasers of TriNet Group, Inc. ("TriNet") (NYSE:TNET) common stock during the period between May 5, 2014 and August 3, 2015 (the "Class Period"). The case, Welgus v. TriNet Group, Inc., No. 15-cv-3625, was filed on August 7, 2015, and has been assigned to Judge Beth Labson Freeman.
If you purchased TriNet common stock during the Class Period and suffered losses in connection therewith, you may qualify to serve as a lead plaintiff in this action. The court-appointed lead plaintiff is generally the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class that is adequate and typical of other class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision of whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. The deadline to file lead plaintiff motions in this case is October 6, 2015. To inquire about serving as lead plaintiff or discuss this action or notice, please contact plaintiff's counsel, Darren Robbins of Robbins Geller at 800/449-4900 or 619/231-1058, or via e-mail at [email protected]. You can view a copy of the complaint at http://www.rgrdlaw.com/cases/trinet/.
The complaint charges TriNet and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. TriNet is a provider of a comprehensive human resources solution for small to medium-sized businesses, enabling clients to outsource their human resources, or HR, function to one strategic partner. The Company's HR solutions include services such as payroll processing, human capital consulting, employment law compliance and employee benefits.
The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants issued materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's current financial condition and quarterly and year-end revenue and earnings outlook for fiscal 2014 and 2015. Specifically, defendants knew or deliberately disregarded and failed to disclose that: (a) the Company's processes and methodologies for analyzing and accruing claims failed to properly account for historical claims trends; (b) the Company's forecasting process failed to properly incorporate relevant historical and current claims trends; and (c) the Company was experiencing growing claims trends in medical and workers compensation that negatively affected the Company's current and future business prospects. As a result of these misrepresentations and omissions, TriNet stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period, reaching a high of $37.88 per share on March 3, 2015.
On March 3, 2015, TriNet announced disappointing fourth quarter fiscal 2014 financial results, missing both its insurance revenue and income expectations due to an increase in large medical claims. On May 5, 2015, TriNet announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2015, again missing expectations due to higher than expected workers compensation costs. Then, on August 3, 2015, the Company issued a press release announcing its second quarter fiscal 2015 financial results, which missed both revenue and earnings per share estimates by a wide margin due to another increase in high-volume medical claims. On this news, the Company's stock price declined nearly 40% on high trading volume. The plaintiff, represented by Robbins Geller, seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of TriNet common stock during the Class Period (the "Class").
