NEW YORK, NY - 
(NewMediaWire) - August 19, 2024 - Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP reminds investors that a complaint has been filed on behalf of investors that purchased Seritage Growth Properties (“Seritage Growth” or the “Company”) (NYSE: SRG) securities between July 7, 2022 and May 10, 2024 (the “Class Period”).

After the market closed on August 14, 2023, Seritage Growth, a real estate company, disclosed there was a “material weakness” in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting “due to a deficiency in the design of our control over the identification of impairment indicators for investments in real estate and documentation of evidence of review.” Further, Seritage Growth disclosed that the deficiency was related “to the failure to identify potential indicators of impairment related to development projects in a timely manner” and that “[t]his deficiency contributed to the potential for there to be material errors in our financial statements.”
On this news, the price of Seritage Growth shares fell $.86 per share, over 9%, to close at $8.03 on August 15, 2023.
Then, on May 10, 2024, after the market closed, the Company announced its first quarter 2024 financial results, revealing it was “adjusting [its] pricing projections for some of [its] assets.” According to the complaint, as a result of this adjustment, the gross value of the Company’s portfolio of assets will be reduced by at least $325 million.
On this news, the price of Seritage Growth shares fell $2.54, over 27%, to close at $6.78 per share on May 13, 2024, the first trading day following the news.
