Glancy Prongay & Murray Commences Investigation on Behalf of Horsehead Holding Corp. Investors
Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP (“GPM”) announces an investigation on behalf of investors of Horsehead Holdings
Corp. (“Horsehead” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ZINC) concerning the Company and its officers’ possible violations of federal securities laws. GPM is preparing
a lawsuit on behalf of injured investors.
Horsehead, together with its subsidiaries, produces and sells zinc and nickel-based products primarily in the United States and
Canada.
The investigation concerns whether or not the Company and its executives violated certain federal securities laws by failing to
reveal the actual operational and efficiency obstacles facing Horsehead’s Mooresboro Facility (“Mooresboro”).
On December 10, 2015, Moody's downgraded the Company's corporate debt from B3 to Caa2 primarily due to an adverse perspective on
the conditions of Mooresboro. Shortly thereafter in January 2016, the Company failed to make a $1.8 million interest payment to
certain holders of the Company's convertible senior notes and consequently defaulted on multiple credit agreements.
Then on January 22, 2016, Horsehead declared a cease in operations at Mooresboro and the termination of most employees at the
site. And, on February 2, 2016, Horsehead disclosed that it had started bankruptcy proceedings under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code. As a result, on February 11, 2016, trading in Horsehead stock was halted and about two weeks later, its
common stock was delisted from the NASDAQ.
