Attorney Advertising. Stull, Stull & Brody announced today that it has commenced an investigation relating to the 401(k) defined contribution retirement plan and employee stock ownership plan of Advanta Corp. ("Advanta”) (NASDAQ:ADVNA; NASDAQ:ADVNB). Among other things, Stull, Stull & Brody is investigating whether fiduciaries of the Advanta 401(k) plan and employee stock ownership plan may have violated the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA”) by failing to disclose the Company’s true operating condition to participants and beneficiaries of the plans (including disclosures relating disclosures of the impact of the economic environment and the deteriorating credit trends on its business and the Company’s recording of losses for its impaired loans and customer delinquencies, which may have caused the Company’s financial results to be materially false), by offering Advanta stock as an investment option under the plans when it was not prudent to do so, and/or by allowing an imprudent overconcentration of Company stock in the Company’s 401(k) plans.
