The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements, and omitted materially adverse facts, about the Company’s business, operations and prospects.  As a result of defendants’ alleged false and misleading statements, the Company’s stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period.

According to the Complaint, on March 28, 2016, individual defendant Andrew W.W. Caspersen (“Caspersen”), a managing partner at the Company’s Park Hill Group, was arrested and charged with securities fraud and wire fraud for scheming to defraud investors of more than $95 million since at least as early as July 2015.  In a parallel action, the SEC also charged Caspersen with defrauding two institutions to invest in a shell company that he controlled.

On this news, shares of PJT dropped over 10%, closing at $23.66 per share on March 28, 2016, on heavy trading volume.

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than June 14, 2016.  A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.  Any member of the proposed class may move the court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.
