McDermott International, Inc. ("McDermott" or the "Company") provides engineering, project management, and facility management services to a variety of customers in the energy and power industries.

On September 20, 2019, McDermott announced in a press release its recent receipt of unsolicited approaches to acquire Lummus Technology, McDermott's industry leading technology business with a valuation exceeding $2.5 billion.  McDermott told investors that it was "exploring strategic alternatives to unlock the value of Lummus Technology," that the "process of exploring strategic alternatives is part of our ongoing efforts intended to improve McDermott's capital structure," and "we plan to use the proceeds from any transaction involving Lummus Technology to strengthen our balance sheet."  These disclosures received widespread attention and the price for McDermott common stock increased 50% in premarket trading to close on that day at $2.01 per share, up 27.22%.

The disclosures were materially misleading.  There was not any plan for a near-term sale of Lummus Technology to strengthen McDermott's balance sheet.  The disclosures were made as part of a scheme to artificially inflate the market price of McDermott's common stock, calm the market and allow the Company to negotiate a prepackaged Chapter 11 bankruptcy restructuring plan.

On January 21, 2020, the truth emerged when McDermott announced its entry of a Restructuring Support Agreement in connection with a Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization.  After the announcement, trading of McDermott common stock was halted.  When it resumed, the price for McDermott common stock plummeted to close at $0.12 per share.

Plaintiffs seek to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of McDermott publicly traded securities during the Class Period.  Plaintiffs are represented by Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP.
