NEW YORK, June 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pawar Law Group announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of shareholders who purchased shares of Whitestone REIT (NYSE: WSR) from May 9, 2018 through February 27, 2019, inclusive (the “Class Period”). The lawsuit seeks to recover damages for Whitestone investors under the federal securities laws.

According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Whitestone lacked effective internal control over financial reporting; (2) Whitestone was incorrectly recognizing assets and liabilities associated with its contribution to Pillarstone Capital REIT Operating Partnership LP; (3) Whitestone’s financial statements for the fiscal year 2018 were overstating revenues; (4) Whitestone’s financial statements for the fiscal year 2018 could no longer be relied upon; and (5) as a result of the foregoing, Whitestone’s financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
