Rosen Law Firm Urges VNET Group Investors to Act Before Critical February Deadline in Securities Class Action

Published February 24, 2024

Rosen Law Firm, a global law firm dedicated to defending investor rights, is reminding investors of an approaching deadline in the class action lawsuit that has been initiated against 21Vianet Group, Inc. VNET. This lawsuit is pertinent to investors who purchased securities during the period from April 8, 2022, to February 15, 2023. The deadline for investors to assume the position of lead plaintiff is set for February 26, 2024.

Significance of the Deadline for 21Vianet Group Investors

Investors who partook in purchasing VNET securities within the designated class period and faced losses are being urged by the Rosen Law Firm to seek legal counsel before the February 26 deadline. Leading this action as lead plaintiff involves certain responsibilities and potential benefits, including directing the litigation process and potentially recovering a more significant portion of financial compensation relative to the class.

Understanding the Class Action Allegations

The class action contends that 21Vianet Group, Inc., headquartered in Beijing, made misleading statements and failed to disclose certain pertinent facts to the investors; these omissions are alleged to have contributed to investment losses during the identified period. As an investor holding company, VNET provides a range of hosting and related services to diverse sectors including Internet companies, government agencies, blue-chip companies, and small to medium-sized businesses.

Investors' Options and Next Steps

It is crucial for shareholders to decide promptly if they wish to act as lead plaintiff. Even if they choose not to take on this role, they may still remain as an absent class member. To become the lead plaintiff, an investor must seek the court's approval. Nonetheless, any investor who suffered losses following purchases of VNET's securities during the class period can still recover damages should the plaintiffs prevail in court.
