PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

The law firm of Spector, Roseman & Kodroff, P.C. announces that a securities class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased Triangle Capital Corporation (“Triangle” or the “Company”) (NYSE: TCAP) securities on the open market between May 7, 2014 and November 1, 2017, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

Triangle is a business-development company that provides financing to companies within the United States. The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding Triangle’s underwriting policies and the quality of its loan portfolio. On November 1, 2017, Triangle announced a deterioration of its loan portfolio and a rise in assets placed on non-accrual status. During an analyst conference call held the next morning, defendants admitted that between 2013 and 2015, Triangle’s senior management had directed the Company to invest in riskier, high-yield loans despite the advice of the Company’s own investment professionals, who recommended a move into more secure investments. On this news, the price of Company stock declined $2.57 per share, or approximately 21%, to close at $9.68 per share on November 2, 2017.

If you purchased Triangle securities during the Class Period, you may, no later than January 22, 2018, move to be appointed as a Lead Plaintiff in this class action. A Lead Plaintiff is a representative chosen by the Court that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
