UPCOMING DEADLINE: Mesa Air Group, Inc. Sued for Securities Fraud; Block & Leviton LLP Encourages Investors Who Lost Money to Contact the Firm

BOSTON, May 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Block & Leviton LLP (www.blockesq.com), a national securities litigation firm, reminds investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Mesa Air Group, Inc. (“Mesa”) (NASDAQ: MESA) and certain of its officers for securities fraud. The lead plaintiff deadline is June 1, 2020. Investors who purchased Mesa shares should contact Block & Leviton for a free case evaluation.

Mesa operates as the holding company for Mesa Airlines, Inc., which provides regional air carrier services under capacity purchase agreements with American Airlines and United Airlines. In August 2018, Mesa conducted its initial public offering (“IPO”), in which it sold approximately 11 million shares of common stock at $12.00 each.

The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona, alleges that on May 10, 2019, Mesa’s Chief Executive Officer revealed that over the last 18 months – including well before the IPO – Mesa had been “hamstrung by the fact that we had expanded a lot . . . maintenance became more difficult in terms of qualified maintenance people.” Then, on August 9, 2019, Mesa’s CEO stated that Mesa “did not meet the performance criteria” under its contract with American Airlines, Inc. Since the IPO, Mesa’s stock price has plummeted well below the IPO price, closing at $3.11 per share on March 30, 2020, or 74% less than its IPO price.
