Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP and Saxena White P.A. Announce Securities Class Action Suit Filed Against DFC Global Corp. and Certain of Its Senior Executives

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Nov 20, 2013) - Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP ("BLB&G") and Saxena White P.A. ("Saxena White") today announced that they have filed a securities class action lawsuit on behalf of West Palm Beach Police Pension Fund ("Palm Beach") against DFC Global Corp. ("DFC Global" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: DLLR) and certain of its senior executives. The action, which is captioned West Palm Beach Police Pension Fund v. DFC Global Corp., 2:13-cv-06731-TON (E.D. Pa.), asserts claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") on behalf of investors in DFC Global common stock during the period of January 28, 2011 through August 22, 2013 (the "Class Period").

The Complaint alleges that during the Class Period, DFC Global misrepresented to investors that it complied with government regulations and guidance with regard to irresponsible lending practices in the United Kingdom ("U.K."), and that the Company made conservative underwriting decisions when making loans. The Company also knowingly understated its loss rates for loans, and issued false earnings guidance for its 2013 fiscal year. When the Company ultimately revealed the truth about its high-risk lending and its financial condition, the price of DCF Global stock fell over $7 per share. 

If you wish to serve as Lead Plaintiff for the Class, you must file a motion with the Court no later than 60 days from today. Accordingly, the deadline for filing a motion for appointment as Lead Plaintiff is January 21, 2014. Any member of the proposed Class may move the Court to serve as Lead Plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain a member of the proposed Class.
