Notice of Lead Plaintiff Deadline for Shareholders in the Paysign, Inc. Securities Class Action Lawsuit
The Paysign securities class action lawsuit charges Paysign and certain of its officers with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announces that a securities class action lawsuit has been filed in the District of Nevada on behalf of purchasers of Paysign, Inc. (NASDAQ:PAYS) publicly traded securities between March 12, 2019 and March 15, 2020 (the “Class Period”). The case is captioned Shi v. Paysign, Inc., No. 20-cv-00553, and is assigned to Judge Gloria M. Navarro. The Paysign securities class action lawsuit charges Paysign and certain of its officers with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased Paysign publicly traded securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Paysign securities class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Paysign securities class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Paysign securities class action lawsuit. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery of the Paysign securities class action lawsuit is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Paysign provides prepaid card programs and processing services under the PaySign brand to corporations, government agencies, universities, and other organizations. The Company’s services include transaction processing, cardholder enrollment, value loading, cardholder account management, reporting, and customer service through Paysign’s proprietary card-processing platform.
The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that Paysign’s internal control over financial reporting and its information technology general controls were not effective. As a result of this information being withheld from the market, Paysign securities traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period, with the price of the Company’s stock reaching a high of more than $17 per share.
Then, on March 16, 2020, before the market opened, Paysign filed a Form 12b-25 with the SEC disclosing that it was unable to timely file its annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 because it needed additional time to complete its financial audit for the year. In addition, the Company reported that, “in the course of completing its assessment of internal controls over financial reporting for 2019 and the company’s initial year of compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley 404b, management identified material weaknesses related to (i) assessment of internal controls over financial reporting and (ii) information technology general controls.” On this news, the price of Paysign shares fell nearly 17% to close at $4.59 per share on March 16, 2020.
