NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
(“Scott+Scott”), a national securities and consumer rights litigation firm, is investigating whether certain directors and officers of Molson Coors Brewing Company (“Molson Coors” or the “Company”) (NYSE: TAP) breached their fiduciary duties to the Company and its shareholders. Following Molson Coors’ recent disclosure that it will restate its 2016 and 2017 financial statements, Molson Coors shares declined nearly 10 percent in value. If you are a Molson Coors shareholder, you may have legal claims against the Company.
Scott+Scott is investigating whether members of Molson Coors’s board of directors made or allowed Molson Coors to make false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Molson Coors failed to properly reconcile the outside basis deferred income tax liability for Molson Coors’s investment in its MillerCoors, LLC partnership; (2) consequently, Molson Coors misreported net income in its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2017, resulting in an overall downward revision to net income; (3) Molson Coors lacked adequate internal controls over financial reporting; and (4) as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On February 12, 2019 Molson Coors disclosed that it identified certain errors in connection with the Company’s acquisition of its remaining interest in MillerCoors in the fourth quarter of 2016. As a result, Molson Coors has concluded that the Company’s previously issued 2016 and 2017 consolidated financial statements were misstated. Further, Molson Coors has disclosed that it will restate its 2016 and 2017 financial statements and intends to “increase its deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax expenses by $399.1 million, with a corresponding decrease in net income and earnings per share.” The release of this news triggered the nearly 10 percent decline in the value of Molson Coors shares .
