Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces an investigation on behalf of Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (“MPW” or the “Company”) (NYSE: MPW) investors concerning the Company’s possible violations of federal securities laws.

On August 18, 2023, the Wall Street Journal (“WSJ”) reported that the Department of Managed Health Care of the Health and Human Services Agency of the State of California (“DMHC”) had issued an order to put MPW’s recapitalization transaction with Prospect Medical Holdings, Inc. (“Prospect”) on hold in order to obtain further information. The WSJ article highlighted the negative impact that halting the recapitalization transaction could have on both MPW and Prospect, especially if the deal is permanently rejected.

On this news, MPW’s stock price fell $0.57, or 7.6%, to close at $6.93 per share on August 18, 2023, thereby injuring investors.

If you purchased MPW 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.
