SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Pomerantz Law Firm Investigates Claims On Behalf of Investors of IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones S.A. ...

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones S.A. ("IRSA" or the "Company") (NYSE: IRS).  Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at [e-mail] or 888-476-6529, ext. 9980.

The investigation concerns whether IRSA and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 

On November 19, 2015, Spruce Point Capital Management published a report on IRSA asserting, among other things, that IRSA is keeping roughly $7 billion of net debt off the Company's books by not consolidating its controlling investment in Israel's IDB Development Corp., and that IRSA may therefore be in violation of its debt covenant under its existing $300 million Global Bond indenture that requires it to maintain an EBITDA/Interest coverage of 1.75x.  In addition, the Spruce Point report alleged that certain of IRSA's related party transactions had not been fully disclosed.  

On this news, shares of IRSA fell $1.25, or 7.7%, to close at $15.06 on November 20, 2015.
