The firms are investigating additional legal claims against the officers and Board of Directors of Great Lakes during the period of August 7, 2012 to March 14, 2013 (the “Class Period”).

If you are an affected investor and you want to learn more about the lawsuit or join the action, contact Willie Briscoe at The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC, (214) 239-4568, or via email at WBriscoe@TheBriscoeLawFirm.com, or Zachary Groover at Powers Taylor, LLP, toll free (877) 728-9607, via e-mail at zach@powerstaylor.com.

In a recently filed federal class action complaint, Great Lakes and certain of its officers were charged with violating certain provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Specifically, the complaint alleges that defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (a) the Company realized that certain change orders in its demolition segment awaiting client acceptance were included as revenue resulting in an overstatement of revenue by millions of dollars in revenue; and (b) there was weakness in the Company’s internal controls to detect or prevent misstatements in its financial statements. According to the complaint, when the Company announced that when these facts came to light and the Company would be required to restate its 2nd and 3rd quarter revenues, the stock plummeted.

“Recent revelations about alleged improper business practices and procedures regarding key aspects of Great Lakes‘ business and other misleading financial statements have prompted the firms to investigate possible breaches of fiduciary duties and other violations of state law by Great Lakes‘ officers and directors. Based on our investigation, we are prepared to pursue litigation to preserve the company and the value of Great Lakes stock for all shareholders,” said shareholder rights attorney Willie Briscoe.

Commissiong, President and Chief Executive Officer of Amarantus BioScience “I want to thank the law firm of JS Barkats, PLLC in assisting us with the legal actions necessary to obtain a successful conclusion to this case.”

Sunny J. Barkats, Esq., founding partner of the law offices of JS Barkats stated, “Many small cap issuers are finding their stock listed on the Berlin-Bremen exchange despite no action on their part, and it could affect the company and its shareholders from an arbitrage standpoint. Thanks to M. Teresa Daley, the head of our litigation group, and her negotiation skills, our team of litigators has obtained the delisting of Amarantus from the Berlin exchange in an amicable fashion.”

The BBSE is one of the few exchanges in the world that allows listing and trading to occur without the consent of the listed company. The Company did not authorize or direct any BBSE broker to act as a market maker for the Company’s common stock. The Company believes that it is in the best interests of its shareholders to ensure that any listing of the Company’s common stock, whether in the U.S. or on a foreign exchange, is sanctioned by the Company so that management is in a position to ensure regulatory compliance regarding regular trading and other trading-related activities with all United States securities laws. Cessation of trading on the BBSE will not affect the Company’s common stock listing in the United States, where it trades on the OTCQB platform.

Incyte Shareholder Alert: Briscoe Law Firm and Powers Taylor, LLP Announce Investigation of Possible Breaches of Fiduciary Duty

DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe, founder of The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC, and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor, LLP announce that the firms are investigating legal claims against the officers and Board of Directors of Incyte Corporation (“Incyte” or “Company”) (NasdaqGS: INCY) related to potential securities violations between April 26, 2012 and August 1, 2012 (the “Class Period“).

If you are an affected investor and you want to learn more about the lawsuit or join the action, contact Willie Briscoe at The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC, (214) 239-4568, or via email at WBriscoe@TheBriscoeLawFirm.com, or Zachary Groover at Powers Taylor, LLP, toll free (877) 728-9607, via e-mail at zach@powerstaylor.com. There is no cost or fee to you.

In a recently filed federal class action complaint, Incyte and certain of its officers and directors were charged with violating certain provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Specifically, the complaint alleges that defendants misrepresented its business success and future business prospects by misrepresenting and/or failing to disclose material aspects about the sales and use of its drug Jakafi. Amongst other things the complaint alleges that the Company made material misstatements in a press release issued on April 26, 2012 and in statements made by the company throughout the Class Period. Further, when the Company announced a softer sales growth that originally projected for 2Q 2012 and disclosed the true facts regarding the use and sales of Jakafi, the shares of Incyte dropped dramatically.

“Recent revelations about alleged improper business practices and procedures regarding key aspects of Incyte’s business and other misleading financial statements have prompted the firms to investigate possible breaches of fiduciary duties and other violations of state law by Incyte’s officers and directors. Based on our investigation, we are prepared to pursue litigation to preserve the company and the value of Incyte stock for all shareholders,” said shareholder rights attorney Willie Briscoe.
