NEW YORK, Oct. 06, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Attorney Advertising -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC reminds investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Orbital ATK (“Orbital” or the “Company”) (NYSE: OA ) and certain of its officers. The class action was filed in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Virginia and is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased Orbital securities between June 1, 2015 through August 9, 2016, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”).
This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).
Orbital ATK Inc. is an American aerospace manufacturer and defense industry company. It was formed in 2015 from the merger of Orbital Sciences Corporation and parts of Alliant Techsystems .
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, and failed to disclose material adverse facts about Orbital’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Orbital did not have proper control over financial reporting; (2) therefore, Orbital failed to record its projected loss on the Contract after the loss became evident in 2015; and (3) consequentially, Orbital’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On August 10, 2016, pre-market, Orbital released that due to accounting issues, it would delay and miss its filing deadline for its most recent quarter and restate more than a year worth of results. Orbital also said that its results from the quarters ended June 29, 2014 through April 3, 2016 “should no longer be relied upon,” that it would postpone its most recent quarterly report and that the issues “indicate the existence of one or more material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting.” Following this news, Orbital stock dropped as much as $17.98 per share, or 20.25%, to close at $70.79 on August 10, 2016.
