Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP (“Scott+Scott”), an international securities and consumer rights litigation firm, reminds investors of a federal class action lawsuit pending against GTT Communications, Inc. (“GTT”) (NYSE: GTT) and the September 30, 2019 deadline to move for lead plaintiff.

If you purchased GTT shares before July 1, 2019, you are encouraged to contact Scott+Scott attorney Joe Pettigrew at (844) 818-6982 or jpettigrew@scott-scott.com for more information.

In February 2018, GTT announced a $2.3 billion acquisition of Interoute Communications Holdings S.A. (“Interoute”), Europe’s largest cloud services platform operator.

According to the complaint, GTT and other defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that there were numerous issues with the Interoute integration, including migrating legacy systems into GTT’s management database, discrepancies with Interoute’s billing systems, and a poor salesforce. GTT also failed to disclose that shortly before the acquisition, Interoute had made a strategic shift conflicting with GTT’s exclusive focus on cloud networking. Defendants thus lacked a reasonable basis for their positive statements about GTT.

On May 8, 2019, GTT reported a larger-than-expected loss and decline in 1Q19 revenue. GTT attributed the negative performance to integration issues with Interoute. On this news, shares of GTT fell $10.38/share over two days, or over 25%, to close at $29.91/share on May 9, 2019.

On August 27, 2019, GTT announced that its Chief Financial Officer was leaving GTT, effective September 30, 2019. On this news, shares of GTT fell $0.63, or 7%, to close at $8.36/share on August 27, 2019.
