NEW YORK, Sept. 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP reminds investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of those who acquired Wins Finance Holdings Inc. (Wins or the Company) (NASDAQ : WINS) securities during the period from October 31, 2018 through July 6, 2020 (the Class Period). Investors have until September 23, 2020 to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.

On July 6, 2020, after the market closed, Wins disclosed that on June 30, 2020 Centurion ZD CPA & Co. resigned as the Companys independent auditor. On this news, the Companys share price fell $2.06, or approximately 6%, to close at $31.70 per share on July 7, 2020, thereby injuring investors.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Companys business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that the ultimate repayment of its RMB 580 million Guohong Loan was highly uncertain; (2) that nonpayment of the Guohong Loan would have a significant impact on the Companys financial and operating condition; (3) that weaknesses in Wins internal control over its financial reporting persisted despite the Companys repeated assurances to investors that it was taking steps to remediate these weaknesses; (4) that the foregoing issues, among others, made the resignation of Wins independent auditor foreseeably likely; and (5) that as a result, the Companys public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
