CASE ALLEGATIONS: Transocean, together with its subsidiaries, provides offshore contract drilling services for oil and gas wells worldwide.  According to the complaint, Transocean marked its Discoverer Inspiration and Development Driller III rigs as "idle," which means that the rigs were being held between contracts and readily available for operations. The Transocean class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the Discoverer Inspiration and the Development Driller III were considered non-strategic assets; (ii) Transocean's recorded asset valuations were overstated; and (iii) as a result, Transocean would take nearly twice the vessels' sale price in impairment if sold. The Transocean class action lawsuit further alleges that on September 3, 2024, Transocean announced that "as part of [Transocean]'s ongoing efforts to dispose of non-strategic assets" it had agreed to sell the Development Driller III and the Discoverer Inspiration and associated assets for an aggregate of $342 million.  According to the complaint, Transocean further announced that the sales would result in an estimated third quarter non-cash charge of up to $645 million associated with the impairment of said assets.  On this news, the price of Transocean stock fell nearly 9%, the Transocean class action lawsuit alleges. THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired Transocean securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Transocean class action lawsuit.  A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class.  A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Transocean class action lawsuit.  The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Transocean class action lawsuit.  An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Transocean class action lawsuit.
