NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

(“Graña y Montero” or the “Company”) (NYSE:GRAM) of the April 28, 2017 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action lawsuit filed against the Company and certain officers.

The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York on behalf of all those who purchased Graña y Montero American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) between July 24, 2013 and February 24, 2017 (the “Class Period”). The case, Goldberg v. Grana y Montero S.A.A. et al., No. 17-cv-01643 was filed on March 23, 2017, and has been assigned to Judge Leonard D. Wexler.

The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) the Company was aware that its Brazilian partner, Odebrecht S.A., paid bribes to former Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo to win construction work on a road traveling from Peru to Brazil; and (2) as a result, the Company’s statements about the its business, operations and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

Specifically, on February 24, 2017, Reuters published an article highlighting a report that the Company knew about $20 million in bribes paid to former Peruvian President, Alejandro Toledo.

On this news, Graña y Montero’s ADS price fell from $5.09 per share on February 23, 2017 to a closing price of $3.32 on February 24, 2017—a $1.77 or a 34.77% drop.
