SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Shareholder Rights Law Firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP is investigating if a securities violation was committed by J.C. Penney Company, Inc., (NYS: JCP) when it made specific representations about the company's liquidity and the need to raise cash.
On an August 20, 2013 investor conference call, J.C. Penney's CFO responded when asked about any additional outside liquidity needs, "Certainly as we look through the end of the year, the $1.5 billion of liquidity that we have projected we're not assuming that we need any additional financing." Other recent statements have been reported by senior management, including the Company's CEO, stating that it did not see conditions for the rest of the year where it would need to raise liquidity.
On September 26, 2013, J.C. Penney announced that it had commenced an underwritten public offering of 84 million shares of its common stock. Based upon the closing price of $10.42 on September 26, 84 million JCP shares would sell for about $875 million.
