A lawsuit was filed on behalf of investors in Metlife Inc (NYSE:MET) shares over alleged securities laws violations.

 

San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/20/2018 -- An investor, who purchased shares of Metlife Inc, filed a lawsuit over alleged violations of Federal Securities Laws by Metlife Inc in connection with certain allegedly false and misleading statements.

The plaintiff claims that between February 27, 2013 and January 29, 2018, the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that MetLife's practices and procedures used to estimate its reserves set aside for annuity and pension payments were inadequate, that MetLife had inadequate internal controls over financial reporting, and that as a result, defendants' statements about MetLife's business, operations and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
