NEW YORK
,
May 17, 2022
/PRNewswire/ — Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationally acclaimed investor rights law firm, reminds investors of the deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in a securities class action lawsuit that has been filed on behalf of investors who sold or otherwise disposed of the securities of Twitter, Inc. (“Twitter” or the “Company”) (NYSE: TWTR) between
March 24, 2022
and
April 1, 2022
, inclusive (the “Class Period”). The lawsuit was filed in
the United States
District Court for the Southern District of
New York
and alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Elon Musk
(“Musk”) is the founder of Tesla and SpaceX, and according to Forbes, is the richest person in the world.
Beginning in
January 2022
, Musk started to acquire shares of Twitter. By
March 14, 2022
, Musk had acquired more than a 5% ownership stake in Twitter.
Pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 13d-1 promulgated thereunder, 17 C.F.R. § 240.13d-1(a), Musk was required to file a Schedule 13 with the SEC within 10 days of passing the 5% ownership threshold in Twitter, or
March 24, 2022
.
Musk did not file a Schedule 13 with the SEC within the required time and instead continued to amass Twitter shares, eventually acquiring a 9.1% stake in the Company before finally filing a Schedule 13 on
April 4, 2022
.
When Musk finally filed the required Schedule 13, thereby revealing his ownership stake in Twitter, the Company’s shares rose from a closing price of
$39.31
per share on
Friday, April 1, 2022
, to close at
$49.97
per share on
April 4, 2022
– an increase of approximately 27%.
Investors who sold securities of Twitter stock between
March 24, 2022
, when Musk was required to have disclosed his Twitter ownership, and before the
Monday, April 4, 2022
disclosure, missed the resulting price increase as the market reacted to Musk’s purchases and were damaged thereby.
By failing to disclose his ownership stake via Schedule 13, Musk was able to acquire shares of Twitter less expensively during the Class Period.
If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than
June 13, 2022
. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn’t require that you serve as lead plaintiff. If you choose to take no action, you may remain an absent class member.
