Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP (“GPM”) reminds investors of the July 25, 2016 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of a class (the “Class”) of investors who purchased Gerdau S.A. (“Gerdau” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GGB) securities between June 2, 2011 and May 15, 2016, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Gerdau investors have until July 25, 2016 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

The complaint filed in this lawsuit alleges that Defendants engaged in a bribery scheme whereby the Company attempted to corrupt Brazilian tax authorities to avoid payment of over $400 million in taxes. Upon disclosure of police raids and a potential government action against the Company for recovery of the tax liabilities the Company’s shares fell sharply in value.

If you purchased Gerdau shares, you may move the Court no later than July 25, 2016 to request appointment as lead plaintiff. To be a member of the class you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the Class. If you wish to learn more about this action, or if you have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Lesley Portnoy, Esquire, of GPM, 1925 Century Park East, Suite 2100, Los Angeles, California 90067 at 310-201-9150, Toll-Free at 888-773-9224, by email to shareholders@glancylaw.com, or visit our website at http://www.glancylaw.com.
