Investors in LuxUrban Hotels Inc who suffered losses exceeding $50,000 between 8 November 8 2023 and 2 February 2024 have been reminded of the 12 April 2024, deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action.
The action alleges that LuxUrban and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose crucial information.
Allegations of misrepresentation
The complaint alleges that they failed to sign a lease with the Royalton Hotel, overstated total reported units and faced multiple lawsuits for unpaid rent.
LuxUrban announced a 25-year master lease agreement with the Royalton Hotel in November 2023. But a report released on 17 January 2024 claims that this lease was not actually signed.
LuxUrban allegedly also faces numerous lawsuits for unpaid rent, a fact not previously disclosed by the company.
The company’s stock price plummets
Following the revelations, LuxUrban's stock price experienced significant declines. On 17 January 2024, its stock fell by 12%, closing at $4.32 per share.
The downward trend continued the next day, with a further 10% drop, closing at $3.89 per share on 18 January.
On 2 February LuxUrban announced the termination of discussions to add the Royalton Hotel to its properties, resulting in another substantial drop in the stock price.
Legal repercussions of the litigation
As a consequence of these events, LuxUrban's stock price fell a further 22% to $3.50 per share on 5 February 2024.
The court-appointed lead plaintiff in the class action represents investors with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class.
