FARMINGDALE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cemtrex, Inc. (NasdaqCM: CETX, CETXP, CETXW), a global diversified industrial and manufacturing company, today explained why securities class action plaintiffs’ law firms continue to publish press releases concerning the alleged securities class action complaints filed on February 24, 2017 against the Company in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The Company feels that this explanation is necessary to clear up the confusion that has been created by these press releases for the current shareholders and potential investors.

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (Reform Act) states: “Not later than 60 days after the date on which the notice is published, any member of the purported class may move the court to serve as lead plaintiff of the purported class.” The original alleged securities class action complaints were filed on February 24, 2017. Therefore, any member of the purported class may move the court to serve as lead plaintiff by April 25, 2017.

Leading up to this April 25 deadline, securities class action plaintiffs’ law firms are continuing to publish press releases in connection with this lead plaintiff process. These are not announcing any new securities class action complaints. To date, there remain only three actual securities class action complaints filed against the Company in court. As the Company announced on March 2, 2017, the Company understands that these three alleged class actions, as well as any further alleged class actions, will be consolidated into a single lawsuit, under the requirements of the Reform Act.

The Company believes the alleged securities class action litigation is based upon the false allegations contained in an internet blog posted by a short seller and is meritless and the Company intends to defend itself vigorously.
