NEW YORK, Sept. 27, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, reminds investors in Power Solutions International, Inc. (“Power Solutions” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:PSIX) of the October 21, 2016 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action lawsuit filed against the Company and certain officers.

The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on behalf of all those who purchased Power Solutions securities between May 8, 2015 and August 15, 2016 (the “Class Period”).  The case, Gupta v. Power Solutions International, Inc. et al, No. 1:16-cv-08253 was filed on August 22, 2016, and has been assigned to Judge Virginia M. Kendall.

The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose that the Company inappropriately recognized revenue for certain transactions and lacked adequate internal controls over financial reporting.

Specifically, after market hours on August 15, 2016, the Company issued a press release and filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC, announcing that the Company needed additional time to file its quarterly report for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 with the SEC.  The Company stated that the delay in filing was due “an ongoing review of allegations made by a former employee” concerning “certain transactions involving revenue recognition.”

After the announcement, Power Solutions’ share price fell from $15.43 per share on August 15, 2016 to a closing price of $13.91 on August 16, 2016—a $1.52 or a 9.85% drop.
