AMTRUST NOTIFICATION: Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses In Excess Of $100,000 Investing In AmTrust Financial Services, Inc. To Contact The Firm

NEW YORK, Feb. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential securities fraud at AmTrust Financial Services, Inc. ("AmTrust" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: AFSI).

The investigation focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws. Specifically, during pre-market on February 27, 2017, AmTrust filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Form 8-K revealed that, among other things, the Company "identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting that existed as of December 31, 2016, specifically related to ineffective assessment of the risks associated with the financial reporting, and an insufficient complement of corporate accounting and corporate financial reporting resources within the organization." The Company further disclosed that it would not timely file its 2016 annual financial statements. As a result of this news, AmTrust stock significantly declined, causing harm to investors.
