Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP (“GPM”) reminds investors of the June 26, 2017 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased Citizens Financial Group, Inc. (“Citizens” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CFG) securities between March 18, 2016 and March 29, 2017, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Citizens investors have until June 26, 2017 to file a lead plaintiff motion in this class action. To obtain information or participate in the class action, please visit the Citizens page on our website at http://www.glancylaw.com/case/citizens-financial-group-inc.

On March 29, 2017, the Wall Street Journal (“WSJ”) reported that certain Citizens employees admitted that Company employees faked “financial checkup” meetings with customers. The Company claimed that the “Citizens Checkup” program resulted in 400,000 scheduled appointments in 2016. However, according to the WSJ, former employees said they falsified information because of pressure to meet expectations related to the program. On this news the Company’s stock price declined, injuring investors.

The complaint filed in this lawsuit alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose: (1) that Company employees were falsifying information related to the Citizens Checkup program; (2) that, as a result, the Company’s reported Citizens Checkup figures were inflated; and (3) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ statements about Citizens’ business, operations, and prospects, were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
