The Klein Law Firm announces that a class action complaint has been filed on behalf of shareholders of The GEO Group, Inc. (NYSE: GEO) who purchased shares between February 27, 2020 and June 16, 2020. The action, which was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, alleges that the Company violated federal securities laws.
(i) GEO Group maintained woefully ineffective COVID-19 response procedures; (ii) those inadequate procedures subjected residents of the Company’s halfway houses to significant health risks; (iii) accordingly, the Company was vulnerable to significant financial and/or reputational harm; and (iv) as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
Shareholders have until September 8, 2020 to petition the court for lead plaintiff status. Your ability to share in any recovery does not require that you serve as lead plaintiff. You may choose to be an absent class member.
