Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased HCP, Inc. (“HCP” or the “Company”) (NYSE: HCP) securities between March 30, 2015 and February 8, 2016, inclusive (the “Class Period”). HCP investors have until July 11, 2016 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

Investors who suffered losses on their HCP investments are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 888-638-4847 or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com.

HCP invests in real estate assets, and one of the Company’s largest investments was in ManorCare, a Company that owned and operated nursing homes and rehabilitation centers. According to recent reports ManorCare engaged in an egregious insurance fraud scheme whereby ManorCare submitted over $6 billion in false claims for reimbursement. On news of the alleged insurance fraud, HCP’s shares fell significantly in value thereby damaging investors.

The class action complaint alleges that HCP violated securities laws by failing to disclose during the class period that ManorCare was engaged this rampant billing fraud, and that, as a result, the value of HCP’s interest in ManorCare was questionable.

If you purchased shares of HCP during the Class Period you may move the Court no later than July 11, 2016 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff. To be a member of the Class you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the Class. If you wish to learn more about this action, or if you have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Howard G. Smith, Esquire, of Law Offices of Howard G. Smith, 3070 Bristol Pike, Suite 112, Bensalem, Pennsylvania 19020 by telephone at (215) 638-4847, toll-free at (888) 638-4847, or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com, or visit our website at http://www.howardsmithlaw.com.
