BENSALEM, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Law Offices of Howard G. Smith reminds investors of the June 25, 2018 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors that purchased Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation (“Macquarie” or the “Company”) (NYSE: MIC) securities between February 22, 2016, and February 21, 2018, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Macquarie investors have until June 25, 2018 to file a lead plaintiff motion.
Investors suffering losses on their Macquarie investments are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 888-638-4847 or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com.
On February 21, 2018, Macquarie announced that it would reduce its dividend, and that it had decided to repurpose the assets at International-Matex Tank Terminals (“IMTT”). On this news, Macquarie’s share price fell $26.21, to a close of $37.41 per share on February 22, 2018, thereby injuring investors.
The Complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) IMTT's performance and utilization 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; (ii) IMTT relied significantly on demand for storage of heavy residual fuel oils, including No. 6 fuel oil; (iii) Macquarie needed to undertake significant capital expenditures to repurpose IMTT storage tanks to accommodate alternative products; and (iv) as a result of the foregoing, Macquarie's shares traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period, and class members suffered significant losses and damages.
If you purchased shares of Macquarie during the Class Period you may move the Court no later than June 25, 2018 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff. To be a member of the Class you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the Class. If you wish to learn more about this action, or if you have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Howard G. Smith, Esquire, of Law Offices of Howard G.
