The Law Offices of Bruce G. Murphy announces that a class action
lawsuit was filed on behalf of all persons who purchased the common
stock of Tronox, Inc. (“Tronox” or the “Company”) [OTB:TRXAQ;
OTB:TRXBQ]. A copy of the complaint filed in this action is
available from the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York, or can be obtained by calling (828) 737-0500
or sending an email to bgm@brucemurphy.biz.
If you purchased the common stock of Tronox between November 29,
2005, and January 12, 2009, inclusive (the “Class Period”), and
sustained damages, you may, no later than September 8, 2009,
request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. A lead
plaintiff is a representative party that acts on behalf of other
class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed
lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member's
claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the
class member will adequately represent the class. Under certain
circumstances, one or more class members may together serve as
“lead plaintiff.” Your ability to share in any recovery is not,
however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead
plaintiff. You may retain the Law Offices of Bruce G. Murphy, or
other counsel of your choice, to serve as your counsel in this
action.
The action is pending in the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York against the Company, and certain
of its officers. According to the complaint, defendants violated
Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Section 10(b)
and 20(a) of the Exchange Act [15 U.S.C. §§78j(b) and 78t(a)] and
Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the SEC [17 C.F.R. §240.10b-5]
(the “Class”).
The Complaint alleges that the Defendants fraudulently concealed
Tronox’s massive environmental liabilities and resulting financial
problems causing massive losses to innocent investors while
unjustly enriching themselves.
Kerr-McGee spun-off Tronox into an independent entity in a
two-step process. First, in November of 2005, Kerr-McGee generated
$225 million in proceeds following the initial public offering of
Tronox at the price of $14.00 per share (the “IPO”) and retained
control of 56.7% of Tronox’s outstanding common stock. Next, in
March of 2006, Kerr-McGee distributed its remaining 56.7% stake in
Tronox to shareholders as Class B shares by way of a dividend (the
“Dividend Issuance”).
The Complaint further alleges that defendants, at the time of
the IPO, knowingly mislead and misrepresented investors by
materially understating the scope of Tronox’s environmental and
tort liabilities. The Registration Statement (the “Registration
Statement”), and the prospectus therein, contained information that
was materially false, misleading and ignored the adverse conditions
facing Tronox. As is explained in further detail in the Complaint,
Tronox has put forth allegations in its bankruptcy action (Tronox,
Inc. v. Anadarko Petroleum Corp., et al.) that the Registration
Statement was materially misleading and greatly understated the
liabilities that Tronox was burdened with. The Defendants
continually misled investors throughout the Class Period by making
materially false statements and concealing the true nature of
Tronox’s liabilities in numerous press releases and SEC
filings.
On June 22, 2006, Anadarko made an offer seeking to acquire
Kerr-McGee for $18 billion, which included $16.4 billion in cash.
On August 10, 2006, the Kerr-McGee shareholders voted to approve
the offer and Kerr-McGee became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Anadarko, and as a result, Anadarko became the
successor-in-interest to Kerr-McGee.
Eventually, the market was able to uncover what the Defendants
were attempting to conceal, Tronox’s environmental and tort
liabilities were in far excess of what had been represented, and,
as a result, Tronox was in financial ruin and would need to seek
the protection of bankruptcy laws therefore rendering the
stockholders’ investments virtually worthless.
As a result of the dissemination of the false and misleading
statements set forth in the complaint, the market price of Tronox
common stock was artificially inflated during the Class Period. In
ignorance of the false and misleading nature of the statements
described above, and the deceptive and manipulative devices and
contrivances employed by said defendants, plaintiffs and the other
members of the Class relied, to their detriment, on the integrity
of the market price of Tronox common stock. Had plaintiffs and the
other members of the Class known the truth, they would not have
purchased said common stock, or would not have purchased them at
the inflated prices that were paid.
