SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Brower Piven Encourages Investo

STEVENSON, Md., May 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of purchasers of Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation (NYSE: MIC ) (“Macquarie” or the “Company”) securities during the period between February 22, 2016 and February 21, 2018, inclusive (the “Class Period”).  Investors who wish to become proactively involved in the litigation have until June 25, 2018 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff.

If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff and be selected by the Court.  The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement for the class in the action.  The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in Macquarie securities during the Class Period.  Members of the class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff.  No class has yet been certified in the above action.

The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the defendants’ failure to disclose during the Class Period that the performance and utilization of Macquaries International-Matex Tank Terminals business were at risk of significant decline due to ongoing industrywide changes in the market for heavy residual oils and, in particular, declining demand and pricing for No. 6 fuel oil.

According to the complaint, following a February 21, 2018 announcement that the Company was slashing its dividend and reporting disappointing fourth quarter earnings, the value of Macquaries shares declined significantly.

If you have suffered a loss in excess of $100,000 from investment in Macquarie securities purchased on or after February 22, 2016 and held through the revelation of negative information during and/or at the end of the Class Period and would like to learn more about this lawsuit and your ability to participate as a lead plaintiff, without cost or obligation to you, please contact Brower Piven either by email at hoffman@browerpiven.com or by telephone at (410) 415-6616.
