BRITISH AMERICAN TOBACCO 72 HOUR DEADLINE ALERT: Former Louisiana Attorney General and Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC Remind Investors With Losses in Excess of $100,000 of Deadline in Class Action Lawsuit Against British American Tobacco p.l.c - BTI

Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC ("KSF") and KSF partner, the former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., remind investors that they have until March 25, 2024 to file lead plaintiff applications in a securities class action lawsuit against British American Tobacco p.l.c (“BA Tobacco” or the “Company”) (NYSE: BTI), if they purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s securities between February 9, 2023 and December 6, 2023, inclusive (the “Class Period”). This action is pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

About the Lawsuit

BA Tobacco and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.

On December 6, 2023, the Company disclosed that it was taking a 25 billion Pound (around $31.5 billion USD) impairment on the cigarette brands it had acquired from Reynolds American Inc. in early 2017 due to “macro-economic headwinds impacting the U.S. combustibles industry,” which The Wall Street Journal referred to as “one of the biggest corporate write-offs in recent history,” noting the Company’s statement that its performance in the U.S. had been hindered by smokers switching to cheaper, nonpremium brands.

On this news, the price of BA Tobacco’s American Depositary Receipts fell $2.68 per share, or 8.88%, to close at $28.86 per ADR on December 6, 2023.

The case is David v. British American Tobacco p.l.c., et al., No. 24-cv-00517.
