LOS ANGELES, Dec. 22, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glancy Binkow & Goldberg LLP announces that all purchasers of the securities of Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. ("OSG" or the "Company") (NYSE:OSGIQ) between May 4, 2009 and October 19, 2012, inclusive (the "Class Period"), have until December 26, 2012 to file a motion to be appointed lead plaintiff in the shareholder class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
OSG primarily engages in the transportation of crude oil and petroleum products through a Company-owned fleet of oceangoing vessels that transport liquid cargoes in the United States flag trades and international markets. The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period the Company and certain of its executive officers made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company improperly accounted for certain tax liabilities; (2) as a result, the Company's financial results were misstated during the Class Period; (3) the Company lacked adequate internal and financial controls; (4) as a result, the defendants' statements during the Class Period were materially false and misleading; and (5) as a result of the foregoing, the defendants' positive statements about OSG's financial performance, well-being and prospects lacked a reasonable basis.
If you purchased OSG securities between May 4, 2009 and October 19, 2012, you may move the Court no later than December 26, 2012 to serve as lead plaintiff; however, you must meet certain legal requirements. To be a member of the Class you need not take action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent Class member.
