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 Complaint alleges that Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Glencore’s conduct would subject it to heightened scrutiny by U.S. and foreign government bodies resulting in investigations into the company’s compliance with money laundering and bribery laws, as well as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act; and (2) as a result, defendants’ statements about Glencore’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and/or misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

On July 3, 2018, Glencore disclosed receipt of a subpoena from the U.S. Department of Justice seeking documents and other records related to Glencore’s compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and U.S. money laundering statutes.  Glencore stated that the subpoena relates to its operations in Nigeria, Venezuela, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.  Following news, Glencore’s American depositary receipt dropped.
