Law Office Of Brodsky & Smith, LLC Announces Investigation Of Schweitzer-Mauduit International Retirement Savings Plan

Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it is investigating Schweitzer-Mauduit International, Inc. (“Schweitzer” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SWM) investment of Plan participants and beneficiaries assets in company stock. The investigation concerns whether administrators breached their fiduciary duties and violated the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) by investing assets in company stock when it was not a prudent investment for participants’ retirement savings.

A lawsuit on behalf of those who purchased the common stock of Schweitzer seeking class action status, which has been filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, charges that defendants issued materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business and financial results. Specifically, it is alleged that during the Class period defendants misrepresented the strength of Schweitzer’s competitive position and concealed problems with the Company’s most important customer. As a result, Schweitzer’s stock traded at artificially inflated prices.
