LLP FILES CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST PERINI CORP. Coughlin Stoia
Geller Rudman & Robbins LLP ("Coughlin Stoia")
(http://www.csgrr.com/cases/perini/) today announced that a class
action has been commenced in the United States District Court for
the District of Massachusetts on behalf of purchasers of Perini
Corp. ("Perini" or the "Company") (NYSE:PCR) common stock during
the period between November 2, 2006 and January 17, 2008 (the
"Class Period"). If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must
move the Court no later than 60 days from today. If you wish to
discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or
your rights or interests, please contact plaintiff's counsel,
Samuel H. Rudman or David A. Rosenfeld of Coughlin Stoia at
800/449-4900 or 619/231-1058, or via e-mail at djr@csgrr.com. If
you are a member of this class, you can view a copy of the
complaint as filed or join this class action online at
http://www.csgrr.com/cases/perini/. Any member of the putative
class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel
of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent
class member. The complaint charges Perini and certain of its
officers and directors with violations of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934. Perini and its subsidiaries offer general contracting,
construction management, and design-build services to private
clients and public agencies worldwide. According to the complaint,
during the Class Period, defendants issued materially false and
misleading statements that misrepresented and failed to disclose:
(a) that the developer of Perini's Las Vegas, Nevada projects,
including the Cosmopolitan Resort & Casino Project, was
experiencing financial problems because it failed to secure
financing for the entire project and was dependent upon raising the
remainder of the financing from the expected sale of residential
units. However, the proceeds from the residential unit sales were
based on unrealistic and aggressive prices at a time when the condo
market in Las Vegas, Nevada was extremely weak; (b) that the
Company's Las Vegas projects were being delayed, and could possibly
be halted; (c) that the developer was in risk of defaulting on its
construction loan; (d) that the Company's future revenue and profit
was dependent upon the Las Vegas projects since the projects
consisted of approximately 20% of its backlog; and (e) as a result
of the foregoing, the Company's ability to maintain its profit
margins was in serious doubt. Then, on January 17, 2008, the
Company issued a press release announcing that Deutsche Bank
"delivered a notice of loan default to the developer of the
Cosmopolitan Resort and Casino project under construction in Las
Vegas, Nevada." In response to this announcement, shares of the
Company's common stock fell $10.05 per share, or 27%, to close at
$27.65 per share, on heavy trading volume. Plaintiff seeks to
recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of Perini common stock
during the Class Period (the "Class"). The plaintiff is represented
by Coughlin Stoia, which has expertise in prosecuting investor
class actions and extensive experience in actions involving
financial fraud. Coughlin Stoia, a 190-lawyer firm with offices in
San Diego, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Boca Raton,
