JUNE 24, 2016 DEADLINE ALERT:  Brower Piven Reminds Investors Of Upcoming Deadline And Encourages Shareholders Who Have Losses In Excess Of $100,000 From Investment In La Quinta Holdings Inc. To Contact The Firm – LQ


STEVENSON, Md., June 17, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of purchasers of La Quinta Holdings Inc. (NYSE:LQ) (“La Quinta” or the “Company”) common stock pursuant to the Company’s secondary public offering on or about March 24, 2015, as well as purchasers of La Quinta common stock purchased between February 25, 2015 and September 17, 2015, inclusive (the “Class Period”).  Investors with losses in excess of $100,000 who wish to become proactively involved in the litigation have until June 24, 2016 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff.

If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the Class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff and be selected by the Court.  The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement for the Class in the action.  The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in the Company’s common stock during the Class Period.  Members of the Class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff.  No class has yet been certified in the above action.

The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Securities Act of 1933 by virtue of the defendants’ failure to disclose during the Class Period that La Quinta was experiencing declining customer demand and market share losses due, in part, to: certain of La Quinta's facilities being outdated and in need of major renovation, necessitating that the Company make significant capital expenditures and undergo operational disruptions; on-going disruptions caused by the transitioning of the Company's call center operations; and La Quinta’s overstatement of the amounts buyers were willing to pay for certain of its properties.

According to the complaint, following the July 29, 2015 Company announcement that the Company's earnings had been adversely affected by a $4 million loss on the sale of a property and an approximate $42 million impairment charge associated with the potential sale of 24 Company-owned hotels and the September 17, 2015 Company announcement that it had further reduced its 2015 financial guidance and that its President and Chief Executive Officer had stepped down from his leadership positions in the Company by mutual agreement with the Company's Board of Directors, the value of La Quinta shares declined significantly.

If you have suffered a loss from investment in La Quinta common stock purchased on or after February 25, 2015, and held through the revelation of negative information during and/or at the end of the Class Period and would like to learn more about this lawsuit and your ability to participate as a lead plaintiff, without cost or obligation to you, please visit our website at http://www.browerpiven.com/currentsecuritiescases.html.  You may also request more information by contacting Brower Piven either by email at hoffman@browerpiven.com or by telephone at (410) 415-6616.  Brower Piven also encourages anyone with information regarding the Company’s conduct during the period in question to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.
