ETN SHAREHOLDER ALERT: The Law Offices of Vincent Wong Reminds Investors of a Class Action Lawsuit Involving Eaton Corporation plc and a Lead Plaintiff Deadline of September 23, 2016

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

The Law Offices of Vincent Wong announce that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the USDC for the Southern District of New York on behalf of investors who purchased Eaton Corporation plc ETN securities between November 13, 2013 and July 28, 2014.

According to the complaint, throughout the Class Period, defendants issued false and misleading statements regarding the Company's ability to divest its automobile-part manufacturing business, causing the stock to trade at artificially inflated prices.

In 2012, the Company merged with Cooper Industries plc, which reincorporated Eaton in Ireland. Following the merger and during the Class Period, Eaton executives falsely assured investors of the continued feasibility of divesting the Company's automobile-part manufacturing business on a tax-free basis. Then on July 29, 2014, Eaton CEO Alexander M. Cutler informed investors that the Company was—and had been—"well aware" of tax-law restrictions related to the merger with Cooper which would make it infeasible to divest the vehicle business until late 2017.

If you suffered a loss in Eaton Corporation you have until September 23, 2016 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
