NEW ORLEANS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (“KSF”) and KSF partner, former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., remind investors that they have until June 8, 2020 to file lead plaintiff applications in a securities class action lawsuit against Fifth Third Bancorp (NasdaqGS: FITB), if they purchased the Company’s securities between February 26, 2016, and March 6, 2020, inclusive (the “Class Period”). This action is pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.

If you purchased securities of Fifth Third and would like to discuss your legal rights and how this case might affect you and your right to recover for your economic loss, you may, without obligation or cost to you, contact KSF Managing Partner Lewis Kahn toll-free at 1-877-515-1850 or via email ([email protected]), or visit https://www.ksfcounsel.com/cases/nasdaqgs-fitb/ to learn more. If you wish to serve as a lead plaintiff in this class action, you must petition the Court by June 8, 2020.
About the Lawsuit
Fifth Third and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.
On March 2, 2020, the Company filed its 2019 10-K, also disclosing that the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) “notified Fifth Third that it intends to file an enforcement action in relation to alleged unauthorized account openings.” This admission and subsequent additional disclosures caused the Company’s stock price to fall, injuring shareholders.
The case is Lee Christakis, et al. v. Fifth Third Bancorp, et al, 20-cv-02176.
