Glancy Prongay & Murray Announces the Filing of a Securities Class Action on Behalf of Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. Investors and Encourages Investors to Contact the Firm

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP ("GPM") announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. ("Northern Oil" or the "Company") NOG securities between March 1, 2013 and August 15, 2016, inclusive (the "Class Period"). Northern Oil investors have until October 17, 2016 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

Investors suffering losses on their Northern Oil investments are encouraged to contact Lesley Portnoy of GPM to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 310-201-9150 or by email to shareholders@glancylaw.com.

On August 16, 2016, Northern Oil CEO Michael Reger ("Reger") was fired after notifying the Company that he had received a Wells Notice from the SEC, announcing their intent to bring an enforcement action against Northern Oil. The Wells Notice comes in response to prior SEC investigations from 2012 that revealed questionable trade patterns in the securities of Dakota Plains Holdings, Inc., a company Reger had invested with back in 2008.

The complaint filed in this lawsuit alleges that investors were damaged by the sharp decline in Northern Oil shares following news of the firing of Michael Reger.

If you purchased shares of Northern Oil during the Class Period you may move the Court no later than October 17, 2016 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff if you meet certain legal requirements. To be a member of the Class you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the Class. If you wish to learn more about this action, or if you have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Lesley Portnoy, Esquire, of GPM, 1925 Century Park East, Suite 2100, Los Angeles California 90067 at 310-201-9150, Toll-Free at 888-773-9224, by email to shareholders@glancylaw.com, or visit our website at http://glancylaw.com.
