CTPartners, the Wall Street headhunting firm accused by former employees of sexual discrimination, lowered its profit guidance for the fourth quarter and all of 2014 late Wednesday because of an added $1.7 million in bonuses.
The company, whose shares have fallen 48 percent in the past six months, also is withdrawing its earnings guidance for the first quarter and full-year 2015, it said in a statement.
No reason was given for pulling back its 2015 guidance. New guidance will be issue on March 12 when it reports fourth-quarter results, it said.
In a third piece of news that could affect its shares on Thursday, CTPartners cancelled a $12.5 million stock offering it had announced on Monday, it said. No reason was given for the cancellation.
The company faces a litany of legal problems. The Post first reported that one of CTPartners’ investors has asked the Securities and Exchange Commission to investigate the company for securities fraud.
