NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (“KSF”), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into Bankrate, Inc. (NYSE: RATE).
On March 17, 2017, Bankrate disclosed a delay in filing its annual report for 2016 resulting from a “calculation error ... in a valuation report prepared by a third party valuation specialist that was a key input in the valuation of the impairment of finite lived assets in the 2016 fiscal year in [Bankrate’s] Quizzle business” and that it “expects to disclose a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting in its Annual Report related to its controls over validating reports prepared by third party valuation specialists.”
KSF’s investigation is focusing on whether Bankrate’s officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to its shareholders or otherwise violated state or federal laws.
If you have information that would assist KSF in its investigation, or have been a long-term holder of Bankrate shares and would like to discuss your legal rights, you may, without obligation or cost to you, call toll-free at 1-877-515-1850 or email KSF Managing Partner Lewis Kahn ([email protected]).
