Law Offices Of Howard G. Smith Announces Class Action Lawsuit Against Transocean Ltd.

Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of all persons or entities who purchased the common stock of Transocean Ltd. (“Transocean” or the “Company”) (NYSE:RIG) between August 5, 2009 and May 7, 2010, inclusive (the “Class Period”). The class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana.

Transocean provides offshore contract drilling services for oil and gas wells worldwide and was the owner/operator of the Deepwater Horizon mobile drilling platform which exploded April 20, 2010, causing a massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The investigation focuses on allegations that certain statements made by the Company during this period about the Company’s operations and equipment, including the safety, functioning and effectiveness of blow-out preventers (“BOPs”) installed on the Deepwater Horizon platform, were materially false and/or misleading.
