Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP Announces the Filing of a Securities Class Action on Behalf of Sterling Bancorp, Inc. (SBT) Investors


Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP ("GPM"), a national investors rights law firm, announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors that purchased Sterling Bancorp, Inc. ("Sterling Bancorp" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: SBT) common stock: (a) pursuant and/or traceable to the Company's initial public offering commenced on or about November 17, 2017 (the "IPO" or "Offering"); and/or (b) between November 17, 2017 and December 8, 2019, inclusive (the "Class Period"). Sterling Bancorp investors have until April 27, 2020 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

On December 9, 2019, Sterling Bancorp disclosed that its subsidiary, Sterling Bank and Trust, FSB, suspended its Advantage Loan program due to an ongoing internal review of documentation on past loans and due to an implementation of "systems and controls to ensure the Bank's policies and procedures are followed on loans originated under the program."

On this news, the Company's stock price fell $2.16, or nearly 23%, to close at $7.29 per share on December 9, 2019, thereby injuring investors.


The complaint alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose facts concerning the Company's loan underwriting, risk management and internal controls, including repeatedly touting its strict underwriting, asset quality and the Advantage Loan Program.
