HORIZON BANK ALERT: Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C. is Investigating Horizon Bancorp, Inc. on Behalf of Long-Term Stockholders and Encourages Investors to Contact the Firm

Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized shareholder rights law firm, is investigating potential claims against Horizon Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: HBNC) on behalf of long-term stockholders following a class action complaint that was filed against Horizon Bank on April 20, 2023 with a Class Period from March 9, 2022 and March 10, 2023. Our investigation concerns whether the board of directors of Horizon Bank have breached their fiduciary duties to the company.

According to the complaint, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the Company maintained deficient internal accounting controls relating to its classification of certain loan balances and securities; (ii) as a result of the foregoing deficiencies, throughout 2022 the Company issued quarterly financial statements containing errors that would require subsequent revision; (iii) restatement of the foregoing financial statements would hinder the Company’s ability to timely file its annual report for 2022; and (iv) as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
