Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC Announces Investigation of Hyperdynamics Corporation
NEW YORK, March 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorney Advertising -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC is investigating potential claims on behalf of purchasers of the securities of Hyperdynamics Corporation ("Hyperdynamics" or the "Company") (NYSE: HDY). Such investors are advised to contact Peretz Bronstein or his investor Relation's coordinator Eitan Kimelman at [email protected] or 212-697-6484.
The investigation relates to whether or not Hyperdynamics and certain of its executives complied with federal securities laws when making statements to investors. On September 30, 2013, shares of Hyperdynamics fell $0.66 cents or approximately 15% to close at $3.76 after the company announced that in September 2013 it received a subpoena from the Department of Justice ("DOJ") requesting that the company produce documents relating to its business in Guinea. In 2006, a Production Sharing Contract was signed by the company and the government of Guinea granting rights to an oil and gas concession offshore Guinea. According to the Company, the DOJ is investigating whether Hyperdynamics' activities in obtaining and retaining the concession rights and its relationships with charitable organizations potentially violate the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or U.S. anti-money laundering statutes.
Then on March 12, 2014, Hyperdynamics announced that Tullow stated that the decisions by the DOJ and SEC to open investigations constituted a "force majeure" under its agreement with Hyperdynamics, thereby allowing Tullow to suspend plans to start drilling a deepwater well at the Concession on April 1, 2014. According to Tullow, it "cannot proceed with its activities on the license until these issues are resolved."
On this news, shares of the Hyperdynamics fell $3.07 or 58.37% to close at $2.19.
