According to the lawsuit, defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company failed to properly estimate its loss reserve provisions as required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and (2) the Company failed to properly allocate its goodwill and certain deferred tax assets.
On August 7, 2013, Tower Group issued a press release announcing that it was postponing the release of its financial results for the second quarter of 2013 and needed additional time to review matters relating to the estimate of its loss reserves and, primarily due to the integration of the Canopius Bermuda merger, its allocation of goodwill and certain tax accounts. Then, on August 8, 2013, the Company provided guidance on its second quarter 2013 results wherein it disclosed that the Company may record an adverse reserve development of $60 million to $110 million pre-tax. The Company also disclosed that it had hired an independent actuarial firm to review selected areas of its loss reserves as of June 30, 2013.
When this adverse information entered the market, the price of Tower Group stock dropped more than 24%, closing at $16.41 per share on August 8, 2013, damaging investors.
If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than October 21, 2013.
