On October 25, 2018, PriceSmart filed a Form 8-K disclosing that investors should not rely on certain previously issued financial statements due to a “balance sheet misclassification.” According to the 8-K, the Company’s Audit Committee met on October 24, 2018 and determined that, as a result of the misclassification, certain financial statements would need to be restated. The Company also “expects to include in its Form 10-K a conclusion that there was a material weakness in internal controls over financial accounting related to this misclassification.”

On this news, PriceSmart’s share price fell $12.41, to close at $69.16 on October 26, 2018, thereby injuring investors.
