WORLD ACCEPTANCE INVESTIGATION INITIATED BY FORMER LOUISIANA ATTORNEY GENERAL: Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC Investigates World Acceptance Corp.


Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC ("KSF"), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into World Acceptance Corp. (Nasdaq: WRLD).

On March 13, 2013, the Company disclosed that it is the target of an investigation by the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau concerning potential "unlawful acts or practices in connection with the marketing, offering, or extension of credit" in violation of federal law, causing the price of the Company's stock to plummet by almost 20%.

Following this news, a securities fraud class action case was brought against World Acceptance, alleging that the Company violated federal securities laws. The judge in that action has denied World Acceptance's motion to dismiss, so the case is proceeding to trial.

KSF's investigation is focusin on whether World Acceptance's officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to World Acceptance's shareholders or otherwise violated state or federal laws.
