Houston, TX based Bristow Group Inc. provides industrial aviation services to the offshore energy companies in Europe Caspian, Africa, the Americas, and the Asia Pacific.

On February 11, 2019, Bristow Group Inc disclosed that it “did not have adequate monitoring control processes in place related to non-financial covenants within certain of its secured financing and lease agreements.” The same day, Bristow Group Inc announced that it had terminated its agreement to purchase Columbia Helicopters, Inc. Then on February 12, 2019, Bristow Group Inc filed a Form with the SEC to announce: (i) that it had terminated its agreement to purchase Columbia Helicopters, Inc.; and (ii) that Jonathan E.

Shares of Bristow Group Inc (NYSE:BRS) declined from $18.91 per share in May 2018 to as low as $1.11 per share on February 13, 2019. According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges on behalf of purchasers of Bristow Group Inc (NYSE: BRS) common shares between February 8, 2018 and February 12, 2019, that the defendants violated Federal Securities Laws. More specifically, the plaintiff claims that between February 8, 2018 and February 12, 2019, the defendants failed to disclose to investors, that the Company lacked adequate monitoring processes related to non-financial covenants within its secured financing and lease agreements, that, as a result, the Company could not reasonably assure compliance with certain non-financial covenants, that, as a result, the Company was reasonably likely to breach certain agreements, that, as a result, the Company had understated its short-term debt, that the required corrections would materially impact financial statements, that that there was a material weakness in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, and that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
