NEW YORK, June 03, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces it has filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of purchasers of Cresud Sociedad Anónima Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria American Depositary Receipts (NASDAQ:CRESY) from May 13, 2015 through December 30, 2015, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”).

NO CLASS HAS YET BEEN CERTIFIED IN THE ABOVE ACTION. UNTIL A CLASS IS CERTIFIED, YOU ARE NOT REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL UNLESS YOU RETAIN ONE. YOU MAY ALSO REMAIN AN ABSENT CLASS MEMBER AND DO NOTHING AT THIS POINT. YOU MAY RETAIN COUNSEL OF YOUR CHOICE.

Cresud is the majority owner of IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima (“IRSA”). Dolphin Netherlands B.V. (“Dolphin”) is a subsidiary of IRSA. According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period issued false and misleading statements to investors and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Dolphin does not adequately qualify as a Venture Capital Organization, and therefore, IDB Development Corporation Limited’s (“IDBD”) $6.7 billion net debt should be consolidated with IRSA’s financial statements; (2) as such, Cresud’s financial statements failed to consolidate IDBD’s $6.7 billion net debt; (3) IRSA’s impending consolidation of IDBD’s debt would violate IRSA’s Global Notes Indenture, as IRSA would be in breach of the “Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness” covenant, which prohibits its EBITDA to interest coverage ratio to be less than 1.75x; and (4) as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
