BENSALEM, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/search?q=%24NOK&src=ctag” target=”_blank”gt;$NOKlt;/agt; lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/classaction?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#classactionlt;/agt;–Law Offices of Howard G. Smith reminds investors of the upcoming June
18, 2019 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class
action filed on behalf of investors who purchased Nokia Corporation
(“Nokia” or the “Company”) (NYSE: NOK)
securities between April 15, 2015 and March 21, 2019, inclusive
(the “Class Period”).
Investors suffering losses on their Nokia investments are encouraged to
contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights
in this class action at 888-638-4847 or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com.
On March 21, 2019, the Company disclosed that it had been, “made aware
of certain practices relating to compliance issues at the former Alcatel
Lucent business [acquired by Nokia November 2016] that have raised
concerns.” Nokia then advised investors that it had initiated an
internal investigation and that it was cooperating with regulatory
authorities to resolve the matter. On this news, shares of Nokia fell
$0.38 per share, or over 6%, to close at $5.88 on March 22, 2019,
thereby injuring investors.
The complaint filed in this class action 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 to investors: (1) that Alcatel-Lucent had
certain compliance issues; (2) that, as a result, the Company would be
subject to regulatory scrutiny; (3) that, as a result, the Company was
reasonably likely to face penalties and fines; and (4) that, as a result
of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s
business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or
lacked a reasonable basis.
If you purchased shares of Nokia during the Class Period you may move
the Court no later than June 18, 2019 to ask the Court
to appoint you as lead plaintiff if you meet certain legal requirements.

time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain
