STEVENSON, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
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 Tempur Sealy International, Inc. (NYSE: TPX) (“Tempur Sealy” or the “Company”) securities during the period between July 28, 2016 and January 27, 2017, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Investors who wish to become proactively involved in the litigation have until May 23, 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 Tempur Sealy 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 Mattress Firm Holding Corp. (“Mattress Firm”), the Company’s largest customer which accounted for approximately 25% of its 2015 net sales, had been engaged in active negotiations to be acquired, that any such acquisition was reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect in Tempur Sealy’s 2016 third and fourth quarter operating results, and that Tempur Sealy was engaged in active discussions with Mattress Firm concerning modifications to their long-term supply agreements.
According to the complaint, following a January 27, 2017 announcement that Tempur Sealy would cease doing business with Mattress Firm, the value of Tempur Sealy shares declined significantly.
If you have suffered a loss in excess of $100,000 from investment in Tempur Sealy securities purchased on or after July 28, 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.
