TCP Misrepresents Its Business Practices
Shares of TCP fell $3.67 per share, or over 57%, to close at $2.74 per share on February 27, 2015. According to the complaints, the decline is attributable to the company's disclosure that Laura Hauser, TCP's General Counsel, Secretary, and Chief Compliance Officer had filed a lawsuit against the company and that the Company was labeling the lighting fixtures it manufactures as UL and Energy Star approved when no such approval had been received. Ms. Hauser's lawsuit, in turn, alleges that TCP's audit committee found that Ellis Yan, the company's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, had engaged in misconduct including, but not limited to: (i) overriding company policies on matters such as capital expenditure; (ii) limiting visibility of financial information and accountability to the global Chief Financial Officer; and (iii) not following proper processes for commercial price changes and obsolescence exposure.
