Shareholder rights law firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP reminds investors of
the August 31, 2015 lead plaintiff deadline in a securities class
action lawsuit filed by the firm against Braskem S.A. (NYSE: BAK). If
you purchased Braskem common stock during the period between July 1,
2010 and March 10, 2015 (the “Class Period”), and suffered significant
losses, you are encouraged to contact Johnson & Weaver regarding your
legal rights.
Additional Information about the Lawsuit:
Braskem is a Brazilian petrochemical company headquartered in São Paulo.
The lawsuit seeks to recover damages for Braskem investors under the
federal securities laws.
According to the lawsuit, on March 11, 2015, a report from a São Paulo
newspaper, Folha de S. Paolo, implicated Braskem in the
corruption scandal surrounding Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras
(“Petrobras”). The published report cited testimony by former Petrobras
executive Paulo Roberto Costa and self-confessed money launderer Alberto
Youssef stating that Braskem had paid at least $5 million in bribes
annually to Petrobras between 2006 and 2012. These payments were made in
order to acquire crude derivative contracts, like propylene and naphtha,
at cheaper prices. On this news, the price of Braskem ADRs plummeted
over 20%, or $1.80 per ADR from their March 10, 2015 close, to close at
$7 on March 11, 2015, on usually high trading volume of more than 1.4
million ADRs trading, or more than twice the average daily volume over
the preceding ten trading days.
Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of
Braskem’s publicly traded securities during the Class Period. If you
wish to serve as a lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August
31, 2015. If you wish to discuss this action, have any questions
