STOCK ALERT: Rosen Law Firm Reminds Fifth Street Asset Management Inc. Investors of Important Deadline in Class Action – FSAM

NEW YORK, Feb. 11, 2016 -- Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of Fifth Street Asset Management Inc. common stock (NASDAQ:FSAM) pursuant to and/or traceable to the Registration Statement and Prospectus issued in connection with FSAM’s October 30, 2014 initial public offering (the “IPO”) of the important March 7, 2016 lead plaintiff deadline in the class action. The lawsuit seeks to recover damages for FSAM investors under the federal securities laws.

NO CLASS HAS YET BEEN CERTIFIED IN THE ABOVE ACTION. UNTIL A CLASS IS CERTIFIED, YOU ARE NOT REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL UNLESS YOU RETAIN ONE. YOU MAY ALSO REMAIN AN ABSENT CLASS MEMBER AND DO NOTHING AT THIS POINT. YOU MAY RETAIN COUNSEL OF YOUR CHOICE. 

According to the lawsuit, the offering documents filed in connection with the IPO contained materially false and misleading statements and omissions, including that: (1) FSAM had $4.2 billion in assets under management from affiliated company, Fifth Street Finance Corp. (“FSC”), as of June 30, 2014 when in fact a material portion of FSC’s portfolio was impaired and should have been placed on non-accrual prior to the IPO; (2) FSAM’s purportedly “strong  growth in  assets  under management” and “outstanding  investor performance” was fueled in part by delaying the write down of impaired investments in FSC’s portfolio; and (3) FSC had a material weakness in its controls over financial reporting. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. 

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than March 7, 2016. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
