About the Lawsuit

Seritage and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.

On August 14, 2023, the Company disclosed a “material weakness” in its internal control over financial reporting “due to a deficiency in the design of our control over the identification of impairment indicators for investments in real estate and documentation of evidence of review” related “to the failure to identify potential indicators of impairment related to development projects in a timely manner.” On this news, the price of Seritage’s shares fell $0.86, or 9.67%, to close at $8.03 per share on August 15, 2023, on unusually heavy trading volume.

Then, on May 10, 2024, the Company released its 1Q2024 financial results, disclosing that it was “adjusting [its] pricing projections for some of [its] assets” resulting in the gross value of the Company’s portfolio of assets being reduced by at least $325 million. On this news, the price of Seritage’s shares fell $2.54, or 27.3%, to close at $6.78 per share on May 13, 2024, on unusually heavy trading volume.

The case is He v. Seritage Growth Properties, et al., No. 1:24-cv-05007.
