The Law Offices of Howard G. Smith Announces the Filing of a Securities Class Action on Behalf of Eaton Corporation plc Investors and Encourages Investors to Contact the Firm

Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased Eaton Corporation (News - Alert) plc ("Eaton" or the "Company") (NYSE: ETN) securities between November 13, 2013 and July 28, 2014, inclusive (the "Class Period"). Eaton investors have until September 23, 2016 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

Investors suffering losses on their Eaton investments are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 888-638-4847 or by email to [email protected].

The Complaint allges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: in response to questions regarding the effect of the Merger on the Company's ability to spin-off its businesses, Eaton executives falsely assured investors and the market of the continued feasibility of divesting the Company's automobile-part manufacturing business on a tax-free basis. This prospect was key to investors' and analysts' ability to value the Company. As a result, Eaton and its executives artificially inflated the price of Eaton stock.

If you purchased shares of Eaton during the Class Period you may move the Court no later than September 23, 2016 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff if you meet certain legal requirements. To be a member of the Class you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the Class. If you wish to learn more about this action, or if you have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Howard G. Smith, Esquire, of Law Offices of Howard G. Smith, 3070 Bristol Pike, Suite 112, Bensalem, Pennsylvania 19020 by telephone at (215) 638-4847, toll-free at (888) 638-4847, or by email to [email protected], or visit our website at http://www.howardsmithlaw.com.
