Investors face a May 19 deadline to seek a lead-plaintiff role in a case that has not been certified.
Overview
- DJS Law Group and The Schall Law Firm issued notices publicizing a securities class action against Hercules Capital for alleged violations of federal antifraud laws.
- The complaint claims Hercules overstated its loan-origination checks, exaggerated how it valued its portfolio, and misclassified some investments.
- The proposed class covers investors who bought HTGC shares from May 1, 2025 through February 27, 2026.
- Investors are urged to contact the firms by May 19, 2026 if they want the court to consider them for the lead‑plaintiff role in this case.
- Plaintiffs allege shareholders lost money when the market learned the facts they describe, and the firms note the allegations remain unproven and the class is not yet certified.
