Shareholder Alert: Key Updates for Ready Capital Investors
Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., and Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (KSF) have issued a pressing reminder for investors in Ready Capital Corporation. If you held shares between November 7, 2024, and March 2, 2025, you may be eligible to join a securities class action lawsuit against the company. The deadline for lead plaintiff applications is May 5, 2025.
Background of the Lawsuit
The lawsuit arises from allegations that Ready Capital and its executives failed to disclose critical information during the designated Class Period. This issue came to light when the company released its fourth quarter and full year 2024 financial results on March 3, 2025. The results revealed a staggering quarterly net loss of $1.80 and a full year net loss of $2.52 per share, attributed to significant actions taken to stabilize the balance sheet. This included reserving for non-performing loans in the company’s Commercial Real Estate (CRE) portfolio.
As a consequence of this disclosure, Ready Capital's stock saw a sharp decline, resulting in a more than 26% drop in share price, closing at $5.07 on March 3, 2025. This unprecedented loss has prompted KSF to take action to protect the rights of investors.

Investors interested in taking on the role of lead plaintiff must submit a petition to the court by the May 5 deadline. This allows individuals to have a voice in the lawsuit and the potential for recovering losses due to the company's alleged misrepresentation of its financial health.
What’s at Stake
This case, titled Quinn v. Ready Capital Corporation, et al., highlights the essential need for transparency in corporate governance and accountability. It also raises questions about the responsibilities of publicly traded companies in reporting financial information truthfully. Shareholders initiated litigation when it became evident that the company did not act in their best interests, failing to disclose material facts that could have enabled them to make informed investment decisions.
The ramifications for Ready Capital could be significant if it is found liable for the cited violations of federal securities laws. Such a finding may lead to not only financial penalties but also a deeper scrutiny of its management practices.
