The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida on behalf of purchasers of Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc.

Members of the Class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff.

If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the Class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff and be selected by the Court. The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement for the Class in the action. The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in Company securities during the Class Period. Brower Piven also encourages anyone with information regarding the Company's conduct during the period in question to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the defendants' failure to disclose during the Class Period that Defendants incorrectly accounted for the Company's remediation and long-term monitoring and maintenance for environmental liabilities, thus understating its reserves for probable and reasonably estimable environmental remediation and related liabilities as required by GAAP, the true demand for its products, and that in connection with its spin-off (the Company previously existed as the Performance Fibers Division of the Company's former parent) the Company incurred approximately $950 million of new debt, $906 million of which was distributed to the Company's former parent. According to the complaint, following the Company's former parent's November 10, 2014 announcement that it would be restating its financial results and that its quarterly reports for the periods ending March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 should no longer be relied upon, and following the January 28, 2015 announcement by the Company that is would be making substantial adjustments to its environmental reserves, the value of Rayonier Advanced shares declined significantly.
