Glancy, Prongay & Murray LLP Investigates Claims on Behalf of World Acceptance Corporation Investors

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Glancy, Prongay & Murray LLP announces that it is investigating potential claims on behalf of investors of World Acceptance Corporation WRLD ("World Acceptance" or "the Company") and whether the officers and directors complied with their legal obligations to the Company and its shareholders. World Acceptance is a small-loan consumer finance business that specializes in "sub-subprime" lending. World Acceptance targets its products to customers with credit scores as low as 400 –well below the floor for "subprime" credit scores.

World Acceptance has been named in a class action complaint alleging the company violated the federal securities laws by issuing false and misleading statements regarding its loan underwriting and business practices and financial results between January 30, 2013 and April 28, 2014. According to the complaint, during that time World Acceptance allegedly engaged in illegal and unethical business practices, by deceiving borrowers into purchasing unnecessary loan insurance and refinancing their loans to boost the Company's revenues. World Acceptance investors were damaged upon discovery of the Company's alleged fraud and the subsequent decline in the World Acceptance stock price.
