Boston, MA (PRWEB) April 05, 2012

Gilman Law LLP, a leading national shareholder rights firm, announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court in Illinois (Case No.: 12-2450) alleging possible violations of the federal securities laws by Groupon, Inc. (GRPN) regarding whether Groupon may have issued materially false and/or misleading information to investors, including in connection with its initial offering of shares to the public on November 4, 2011.

The class action lawsuit arises from the Company's announcement that it is revising its reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2011. Groupon announced that the Company's fourth quarter revenue was being reduced by $14.3 million, its fourth quarter operating income reduced by $30 million, its net income reduced by $22.6 million, and its earnings per share reduced by $0.04 per share and from a statement of “material weakness” regarding Groupon's internal financial controls issued by the Company's auditor, Ernst & Young LLP.
