Bristow Reveals Material Weakness in Internal Controls

According to the complaint, from February 2018 to November 2018, Bristow assured investors in 10Qs and a 10K that its internal control over financial reporting was effective. However, on February 11, 2019, the truth was revealed when Bristow disclosed that management had not only identified a material weakness in its internal controls over financial reporting, but was also evaluating the possibility of a misstatement in its financial statements. On this news, Bristow's share price fell nearly 40% to close at $1.84. On February 12, 2019, Bristow announced that Jonathan Baliff would retire from his position as CEO and resign from the Board of Directors effective February 28, 2019. On this news, Bristow's share plummeted another 35% to close at $1.20 per share on February 13, 2019.
