Scott+Scott, Attorneys at Law, LLP Announces Investigation of King Digital Entertainment plc

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Scott+Scott, Attorneys at Law, LLP ("Scott+Scott"), a national shareholder and consumer rights litigation firm, announces the commencement of an investigation into King Digital Entertainment plc KING ("King Digital") related to potential violations of federal securities laws. If you are a King Digital shareholder, you are encouraged to contact Scott+Scott for additional information.

King Digital KING is an interactive entertainment company that develops and publishes casual games on digital platforms. One of King Digital's principal products is the game Candy Crush Saga ("Candy Crush").

On March 26, 2014, King Digital conducted its Initial Public Offering ("IPO") of its securities at $22.50 per share. On August 12, 2014, King Digital announced a $150 million special dividend and lowered its view of full-year revenue growth. On this news, King Digital's shares declined roughly 25%. King Digital is currently trading at $15.04 per share.

In the wake of this announcement, Forbes reported that King Digital "reported June quarter results that were more of a deflating balloon and added a surprise dividend that is extremely unusual for a company that IPOed less than five months ago."
