About the Lawsuit

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

On January 23, 2019, the Company disclosed that it had misclassified the risk of a substantial number of its commercial loans.  On May 1, 2019, the Company revealed its 1Q2019 results including a 3.6% reduction in deposits, the loss of a “small number of large commercial and partnership customers,” lowered growth expectations for the year, and a 50% decline in profit from a year earlier.

On this news, the price of Metro Bank’s shares plummeted.

The case is Amann v. Metro Bank Plc, 19-cv-4739.
