Notice to pension funds, asset managers, and fiduciaries holding Wise Group plc (NASDAQ: WSE) positions: a securities class action alleges the Company understated anti-money laundering deficiencies and an undisclosed Belgian criminal probe, with a September 29, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

NEW YORK, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP notifies institutional investors in Wise Group plc (NASDAQ: WSE) that a class action has been filed on behalf of shareholders who purchased securities between May 11, 2026 and July 23, 2026. Request an institutional investor loss assessment. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] or (212) 363-7500.

WSE shares declined from $12.77 to $10.72 across June 1 through June 3, 2026, a cumulative drop of $2.05 per share, or approximately 16.05%. Shares fell an additional $0.75, or 6.2%, to $11.33 on July 24, 2026. The lead plaintiff deadline is September 29, 2026.

Notice to Institutional Holders

Funds that acquired WSE positions in connection with the Company's May 11, 2026 Nasdaq listing may hold among the largest documented losses in the proposed class. The pleading asserts that the Company's registration materials understated regulatory exposure tied to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing controls. Reported suspicious transaction volume under review by Belgian prosecutors exceeded €500 million, or approximately $582.5 million.

Fiduciary Obligations and Recovery Options

• Index and active managers holding WSE during the Class Period may have a fiduciary obligation to evaluate whether to pursue available recovery on behalf of beneficiaries.
• Lead plaintiff appointment is typically awarded to the movant with the largest provable financial interest, a position institutions frequently occupy.
• Serving as lead plaintiff provides direct oversight of counsel, litigation strategy, and settlement decisions, without increasing per-share recovery.
• Absent class members retain the ability to participate in any eventual recovery without seeking appointment.
• Securities class actions are generally prosecuted on a contingency basis, with fees and expenses subject to court approval.
• ERISA plan fiduciaries may wish to document their evaluation of the claim as a plan asset.

Portfolio Impact Assessment

"Institutional investors play a critical role in securities class actions, and the allegations here concerning undisclosed anti-money laundering deficiencies at a newly listed issuer are the kind of governance matter fiduciaries are well positioned to evaluate. Funds holding Wise Group positions during the Class Period may wish to review their exposure before the appointment window closes." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.

The complaint charges that the alleged omissions were corrected in part when the Company confirmed it was responding to inquiries from the Brussels Public Prosecutor's Office, and again when U.S. regulators declined a national trust bank application citing long-standing compliance concerns. The action is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

Frequently Asked Questions About the WSE Lawsuit

Q: Who is eligible to join the WSE investor lawsuit? A: Investors who purchased WSE stock or securities between May 11, 2026 and July 23, 2026 and suffered financial losses may be eligible. Eligibility is based on purchase date and documented losses, not on whether you still hold the shares.

Q: How much did WSE stock drop? A: Shares fell approximately 16.05% cumulatively from June 1 to June 3, 2026, a decline of $2.05 per share, following reports of a Belgian money laundering investigation, and fell a further 6.2% on July 24, 2026 after U.S. regulators denied the Company's national trust bank application. Investors who purchased during the Class Period at allegedly inflated prices may be eligible to seek compensation.

Q: What court was the WSE class action filed in? A: The case was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, governed by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Q: What is a lead plaintiff and why does it matter? A: A lead plaintiff is the investor appointed by the court to represent the entire class. Lead plaintiffs are typically investors with the largest documented losses. Being appointed does not increase individual recovery but gives direct oversight of how the case is run.

Q: How do I know if I lost enough money to be the lead plaintiff? A: There is no minimum loss threshold. Courts generally appoint the investor with the largest provable loss who is willing and able to represent the class adequately. Contact Levi & Korsinsky before September 29, 2026 to evaluate lead plaintiff options.

Q: What does it cost me to participate? A: There is no upfront cost to contact the firm. Securities class actions are generally handled on a pure contingency basis, with no retainer and no out-of-pocket costs. Any attorneys' fees and expenses awarded to class counsel are subject to court approval.

Q: What if I live outside the United States? A: U.S. securities class actions generally cover purchases on U.S. exchanges regardless of the investor's country of residence.
