Federman & Sherwood Announces Investigation of Gordmans Stores, Inc.

OKLAHOMA CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Federman & Sherwood announces the commencement of an investigation into Gordmans Stores, Inc., ("Gordmans" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:GMAN) to determine whether the Company issued false and misleading statements to its shareholders.

Gordmans is a retail discount department store based in Omaha, Nebraska. On March 19, 2012, Gordmans issued a press release announcing fourth quarter and fiscal year 2011 earnings. Gordmans attributed its "strong operating results" to its new store openings and continued expansion of gross profit margins. On May 25, 2012, Gordmans filed its prospectus supplement for a public offering. Gordmans offered to sell 40,000 shares of common stock and selling stockholders offered to sell 3,003,532 shares of common stock at $16.75 per share. Since this offering, the price of the securities has declined substantially. For example, on January 14, 2013, Gordmans updated its fourth quarter and fiscal year outlook by decreasing its revenue guidance and substantially decreasing its EPS guidance. On this news, the stock price dropped 16.5% to $11.66 per share on high volume. We are investigating whether the Company issued false and misleading statements or failed to disclose material, adverse facts about the Company in connection with the above.
