Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces an investigation on behalf of Party City Holdco Inc. (“Party City” or the “Company”) (NYSE: PRTY; OTC: PRTYQ) investors concerning the Company’s possible violations of federal securities laws.

On January 17, 2023, Party City abruptly filed for bankruptcy, disclosing the Company’s ongoing liquidity shortfall, its need for loans beyond credit lines available, and its inability to find lenders willing to provide those loans.

On June 9, 2023, Party City further revealed that its audit firm had resigned due to a disagreement about the Company’s decision to not include a “going concern” warning in its third quarter 2022 financial report, which would have alerted investors to the Company’s potential inability to continue as a going concern. Furthermore, the Company also disclosed that there was a “material weakness in internal control over financial reporting” at the time of the third quarter 2022 10-Q.

As a result of these revelations, investors suffered significant losses.

If you purchased Party City securities, have information or would like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Howard G.
