SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Pomerantz Law Firm Investigates Claims On Behalf of Investors of Blount International, Inc. -- BLT

NEW YORK, Aug. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz Grossman Hufford Dahlstrom & Gross LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Blount International, Inc. (NYSE: BLT) ("Blount" or the "Company") who purchased Blount common stock between January 1, 2012 and August 7, 2013 (the "Class Period"). Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at [email protected] or 888-476-6529, ext. 237.

The investigation concerns whether Blount and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

On August 7, 2013, the company released its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.  The Company stated in its announcement that it would need to amend its 2012 10-K and first quarter 2013 10-Q to reflect material weaknesses in Blount's internal controls over financial reporting. As a result, Blount would not be able to timely file its second quarter 10-Q for 2013, and it may need to restate its 2012 financial statements to reflect an impairment of goodwill.

On this news, shares of Blount fell $1.07 per share or 8.41% to $11.72 on intraday trading on August 7, 2013.
