Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP Reminds PTC, Inc. Shareholders of Class Action Lawsuit

RADNOR, Pa., April 12, 2016 -- The law firm of Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP reminds PTC Inc. (Nasdaq:PTC) (“PTC” or the “Company”) shareholders that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of all purchasers of the Company’s securities between November 24, 2011 and July 29, 2015, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

Investors who purchased their PTC securities during the Class Period may, no later than May 6, 2016, petition the Court to be appointed as a lead plaintiff of the class.  For additional information please visit https://www.ktmc.com/new-cases/ptc-inc#join.

PTC shareholders who wish to discuss this action and their legal options are encouraged to contact Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP (Darren J. Check, Esq., D. Seamus Kaskela, Esq. or Adrienne O. Bell, Esq.) at (888) 299 – 7706 or at [email protected].

The shareholder class action complaint alleges that during the Class Period: (1) PTC did not disclose to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) the full results of its investigation into whether PTC China improperly provided recreational travel to Chinese government officials in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”); (2) PTC was not cooperating with the SEC and the DOJ in connection with their investigations into whether PTC China improperly provided recreational travel to Chinese government officials in violation of the FCPA; (3) PTC’s books and records were inaccurate and PTC failed to maintain adequate internal accounting controls; and (4) as a result, PTC’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On July 29, 2015, PTC issued a press release reporting, among other things, that the Company had “recorded a liability of $13.6 million associated with pending discussions” with the SEC and DOJ to resolve their investigations of PTC.  Further, the Company reported that $13.6 million was “the minimum amount of liability” that it expected to incur if it ultimately settled the SEC and DOJ investigations. 

Following this news, shares of PTC’s stock declined $1.57 per share, or over 4%, to close on July 30, 2015 at $36.23 per share.

Members of the purported class may petition the Court to be appointed as a lead plaintiff through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.  A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.  Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision of whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff.  In order to be appointed as a lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member’s claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class in the action.
