BENSALEM, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased Natus Medical Incorporated (“Natus” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BABY) securities between October 16, 2015 and April 3, 2016, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Natus investors have until March 31, 2017 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

Investors suffering losses on their Natus investments are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 888-638-4847 or by email to [email protected].

According to the complaint filed in this lawsuit, throughout the Class Period Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about Natus’ business, operations, and prospects, including that: (1) the Venezuelan government failed to make tens of millions of dollars in prepayments to Natus, which were required to have been paid beginning in October 2015; (2) Natus had no means to effectively enforce its rights under its supply contract, as Venezuela was the exclusive forum for dispute resolution; (3) Natus’ receipt of revenues pursuant to the supply contract was contingent on the outcome of Venezuelan elections; and (4) as a result, Natus was not on track to achieve the increased guidance provided by Defendants, which lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

If you purchased shares of Natus during the Class Period you may move the Court no later than March 31, 2017 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff if you meet certain legal requirements. To be a member of the Class you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the Class. If you wish to learn more about this action, or if you have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Howard G. Smith, Esquire, of Law Offices of Howard G.
