Berger Montague Investigates Securities Fraud Class Action Claims Against Tivity Health, Inc. (NASDAQ: TVTY); Lead Plaintiff Deadline is April 27, 2020

PHILADELPHIA, April 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Berger Montague is investigating securities fraud claims against Tivity Health, Inc. ("Tivity" or the "Company") on behalf of all purchasers of Tivity common stock (NASDAQ: TVTY) between March 8, 2019 and February 19, 2020 (the "Class Period").

If you purchased Tivity shares, have information, would like to discuss this investigation, or have any questions concerning your rights or interests, please contact our attorneys Michael Dell'Angelo, Esq. at [phone] or Andrew Abramowitz, Esq. at [phone], or visit www.bergermontague.com/tivity.

On March 8, 2019, Tivity announced the completion of its acquisition of Nutrisystem, Inc. ("Nutrisystem") for approximately $1.3 billion in cash and stock. Tivity assured investors that "[w]ith this acquisition, Tivity Health will be unique in offering, at scale, an integrated portfolio of fitness, nutrition and social engagement solutions to support overall health and wellness." The release further described the benefits of the Nutrisystem acquisition, including "double digit accretion to Tivity Health's adjusted EPS in 2020 and beyond, . . . [s]ignificant potential for value creation with expected annual cost synergies of ~$30-35 million . . . [and] [n]ew business model with projected substantial cash flow to de-lever the balance sheet."

According to the complaint, Tivity's representations regarding the Nutrisystem acquisition were false or misleading in that they failed to disclose that Tivity's Nutrition segment faced significant operational challenges that would foreseeably have a significant impact on Tivity's revenues.

On February 19, 2020, post-market, Tivity issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2019. Tivity disclosed, among other things, that its "Nutrition segment had a disappointing end to 2019," which included "a non-cash impairment charge of $(377.1) million," contributing to a net loss for Tivity of $272.8 million in the fourth quarter. Tivity also announced the resignation of its CEO.

On this news, Tivity's stock price fell $10.43 per share, or 45.49%, to close at $12.50 per share on February 20, 2020.

If you purchased Tivity common stock during the Class Period, you may seek Court appointment as lead plaintiff to represent other injured investors in a class action. The lead plaintiff appointment deadline is April 27, 2020. You do not need to be a lead plaintiff to share in any potential Class recovery.
