SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Brower Piven Encourages Investors Who Have Losses In Excess Of $100,000 From Investment In Celadon Group Inc. (NYSE: CGI) To Contact Brower Piven Before The Lead Plaintiff Deadline In Class Action Lawsuit

STEVENSON, Md., May 11, 2017 -- The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of purchasers of Celadon Group Inc. (NYSE:CGI) (“Celadon” or the “Company”) securities during the period between December 30, 2016 and April 18, 2017, inclusive (the “Class Period”).  Investors who wish to become proactively involved in the litigation have until June 19, 2017 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff.

If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff and be selected by the Court.  The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement for the class in the action.  The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in Celadon securities during the Class Period.  Members of the class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff.  No class has yet been certified in the above action.

The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the defendants’ failure to disclose during the Class Period that Celadon’s equity contribution to its joint venture with Element Financial Corp. was $68.2 million, not the $100 million Celadon reported in public filings and Celadon was being investigated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

According to the complaint, following an April 5, 2017 report that Celadon has used off-balance sheet entities and manipulative accounting practices to hide its insolvent condition from investors and creditors, and an April 19, 2017 announcement that the Company received correspondence from the SEC indicating that Celadon was under investigation, the value of Celadon shares declined significantly.

If you have suffered a loss in excess of $100,000 from investment in Celadon securities purchased on or after December 30, 2016 and held through the revelation of negative information during and/or at the end of the Class Period and would like to learn more about this lawsuit and your ability to participate as a lead plaintiff, without cost or obligation to you, please visit our website at http://www.browerpiven.com/currentsecuritiescases.html.  You may also request more information by contacting Brower Piven either by email at [email protected] or by telephone at (410) 415-6616.  Brower Piven also encourages anyone with information regarding the Company’s conduct during the period in question to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.
