About the Lawsuit

Penn West and certain of its executives are charged with issuing a series of materially false and misleading statements during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws. 

On July 29, 2014, Penn West Petroleum announced that its Audit Committee is conducting an internal review of the Company's accounting practices for 2014 and the four previous fiscal years and that it will restate certain past financial statements, which may cause the Company to reduce capital spending plans and cash flow assumptions for 2014. Penn West also warned that a restatement may cause the Company to violate certain covenants in loan agreements covering the Company's debt.

On this news, the price of Penn West's shares plummeted by over 14%.
