Wolf Haldenstein Freeman Adler & Herz LLP Announces That a Securities Class Action Has Been Filed Against Bankrate Inc. in the Southern District of Florida -- RATE


NEW YORK, Sept. 18, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wolf Haldenstein Freeman Adler & Herz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the securities of Bankrate, Inc. ("Bankrate" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:RATE) during the period March 1, 2013 and September 15, 2014, inclusive (the "Class Period").

On September 15, 2014, Bankrate disclosed that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") is conducting a formal investigation of the Company's financial reporting, focusing mainly on the first two quarters of 2012. Bankrate also announced that its financial results for 2011, 2012 and 2013 should no longer be relied upon pending completion of an internal review. Bankrate's Chief Financial Officer, Edward J. DiMaria, resigned in the wake of this disclosure. On this news, the price of Bankrate stock fell $1.90 per share, or almost 14 percent, from its closing price of $13.82 on September 12, 2014, to close at $11.92 per share on September 15, 2014, on heavy trading volume.

If you purchased Bankrate, Inc. common stock during the Class Period, you may move to be appointed as lead plaintiff by November 17, 2014. A lead plaintiff is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. You may retain Wolf Haldenstein, or other counsel of your choice, to serve as your counsel in this action.
