Glancy Prongay & Murray announces that an additional class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against Trinity Industries, Inc. (NYSE: TRN) (“Trinity” or the “Company”) for alleged violations of federal securities laws. Investors who purchased, or otherwise acquired shares, between February 16, 2012 and April 29, 2015, inclusive (the “Expanded Class Period”), have until June 29, 2015 to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action.

The complaint alleges that, among other allegations, Trinity Industries, Inc. provides products and services to companies in the transportation, chemical, and industrial sectors. The complaint alleges that during the Class Period Trinity made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Trinity modified certain dimensions of the ET-Plus in 2005 without notifying the Federal Highway Administration (“FHWA”), the federal agency that certifies the safety of roadside hardware; and (2) as a result, Trinity’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On October 12, 2014, the New York Times published an article reporting that at least three states had banned the use of guardrail heads produced by Trinity. This news caused shares of Trinity to drop nearly 6% on heavy volume. On April 21, 2015, an article featured in Bloomberg News claimed that Trinity was being investigated by the U.S. Department of Justice for purposefully withholding information from the FHWA about the safety of its guardrails, resulting in Trinity shares falling by over 9%. On April 24, 2015, Trinity confirmed that they were the target of a federal investigation, causing shares to fall an additional 14% to close at 28.70 per share.

If you purchased Trinity shares or other securities during the Expanded Class Period, have information or would like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Lesley Portnoy, of Glancy Prongay & Murray, 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.
