NEW YORK, Aug. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --Pomerantz Grossman Hufford Dahlstrom & Gross LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Genesco Inc. ("Genesco" or the "Company") (NYSE: GCO) (CUSIP:371532102). Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at rswilloughby@pomlaw.com or 888-476-6529, ext. 237.
The investigation concerns whether Genesco and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. On August 29, 2013, Genesco announced that it may restate certain prior financial statements, and that it was working with its auditor to determine whether GAAP rules require that "retained bonus be expensed across the three-year period rather than fully accrued in the year it is determined."
In response to this news, shares of Genesco fell from $69.55 on August 28 to close at $63.24 on August 29.
