Gainey McKenna & Egleston today announced that it filed a class
action in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York on behalf of purchasers of the American
Depositary Shares ("ADRs") of Wal-Mart de Mexico SAB de CV
("Wal-Mart de Mexico" or the "Company") (OTC:WMMVY) between
February 21, 2012 through April 22, 2012, inclusive (the "Class
Period"). The case is brought against Wal-Mart de Mexico and
Ernesto Vega (the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chairman of
the Audit and Corporate Practices Committee of Wal-Mart de Mexico),
seeking to pursue remedies under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the "Exchange Act").
If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court
no later than June 4, 2013. If you wish to discuss this action or
have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or
interests, please contact Plaintiff's counsel, Thomas J. McKenna,
Esq. of Gainey McKenna & Egleston at (212) 983-1300, or via
e-mail at tjmckenna@gme-law.com. Any member of the putative class
may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of
their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent
class member.
The Complaint alleges that Defendants Wal-Mart de Mexico and
Ernesto Vega violated the Exchange Act by issuing during the Class
Period materially false and misleading statements regarding
Wal-Mart de Mexico's business practices with respect to unlawful or
unethical bribery conduct. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that
Wal-Mart de Mexico failed to disclose that it had been involved in
a bribery scheme, and as a result of the false and misleading
statements disseminated by Defendants, the Wal-Mart de Mexico ADRs
traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period.
On April 22, 2012, The New York Times published an article
concerning bribes made by Walmart de Mexico beginning as early as
2005. According to the article Walmart de Mexico spent more than
$24 million in bribes. The article further alleged that Walmart de
Mexico executives knew about the payments and actively took steps
to conceal them.
Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers
of Wal-Mart de Mexico ADRs during the Class Period. The Plaintiff
is represented by Gainey McKenna & Egleston
(http://www.gme-law.com), whose attorneys have decades of
experience in prosecuting securities class actions and investor
class actions throughout the United States.
