About the Lawsuit

Hyperdynamics and certain of its senior executives are charged with issuing materially false and misleading statements, during the Class Period, in violation of federal securities laws.

On February 15, 2012, shares of Hyperdynamics stock decline precipitously, falling almost 30% per share, after the Company announced disappointing results for its Sabu-1 exploration well. This revelation was in stark contrast to the positive statements that the Company had made during the class period, as to the purported success of this property.
