Kirby McInerney LLP Investigates Potential Claims on Behalf of World Acceptance Corporation Investors

Kirby McInerney LLP announced today that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina on behalf of investors who acquired World Acceptance Corporation ("World Acceptance" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:WRLD) securities during the period from April 25, 2013 through March 12, 2014. Investors have until June 23, 2014 to file a motion to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the shareholder lawsuit.

The lawsuit alleges that World Acceptance and certain of its executive officers violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 during the Class Period by making a series of false and misleading statements to shareholders and by failing to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations and prospects. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that the defendants made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose that: (a) the Company's loan practices did not abide by the Consumer Financial Protection Act and/or the Truth in Lending Act; (b) the Company lacked aequate internal and financial controls; and (c) as a result of the foregoing, the Company's statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
