The securities class action concerns the Company’s February 2013 acquisition of - and related accounting for - a business known as The Shaw Group. When CBI purchased Shaw, CBI acquired purportedly high-value contracts to complete construction of new nuclear power plants including Plant Vogtle.
On June 17, 2014, Prescience Point issued a report entitled “Acquisition Accounting Gone Nuclear” concluding that Defendants misstated the Company’s previously reported balance sheet, income from operations and earnings per share through inappropriate acquisition accounting for Shaw. This news drove the price of CBI shares down over 8% to close at $68.26 that day.
On December 10, 2014, TradeFair Group reported that longer delays are likely for the Vogtle reactors. Between December 7, 2014 and December 12, 2014, as the market digested this information, the price of CBI’s shares fell almost 15% to close at $39.14 on December 12.
“We’re focused on what may be serious violations of generally accepted accounting principles in connection with the Company’s business combination with Shaw that, if true, had a material impact on CBI’s financial condition,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding CBI should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under the new SEC whistleblower program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.
