SAN DIEGO, April 03, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Shareholders Foundation, Inc. announces that a lawsuit was filed for certain purchasers of shares of Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises Inc (NYSE:BW) over alleged Securities Laws Violations by Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises Inc.
Investors, who purchased shares of Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises Inc (NYSE:BW), have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation at mail@shareholdersfoundation.com or call +1(858) 779 - 1554.
On July 1, 2015, Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises Inc (“B&W”) began trading independently as a public company after spinning off from The Babcock & Wilcox Company by way of distribution of shares of B&W common stock to holders of the Company's former parent. The distribution of B&W common stock was made on June 30, 2015, and consisted of one share of B&W common stock for every two shares of the former parent's common stock as of the record date, June 18, 2015. Cash was paid in lieu of any fractional shares of B&W common stock.
The plaintiff alleges on behalf of certain purchasers of B&W common shares that between July 1, 2015 and February 28, 2017, the Company was experiencing significant, undisclosed problems in its Renewable segment.
The plaintiff claims that although defendants disclosed issues with a single project in the Renewable business on June 28, 2016, they failed to disclose that similar problems were significantly and negatively impacting other projects in the Company's Renewable segment, instead assuring investors during a business update call that the problems were "a single project issue."
Shares of Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises Inc (NYSE:BW) declined from $22.85 in April 2016 to as low as $8.54 per share on March 22, 2017.
