Kirby McInerney Announces That a Class Action Lawsuit Has Been Filed on Behalf of Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc. Investors

Kirby McInerney LLP announced today that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of investors who acquired Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc. ("Altair" or the "Company") (OTC: ALTI) securities during the period from May 15, 2013 through September 4, 2014 (the "class period"). Pursuant to applicable law, investors have until November 25, 2014 to file a motion to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the investor lawsuit.

The lawsuit charges that during the class period the Company lacked adequate controls to perform a timely and accurate review of transactions in its subsidiaries at an appropriate level of precision and to ensure timely filings in compliance with its financial reporting requirements. On September 4, 2014, the Company revealed that Crowe Horwath LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, resigned. According to the Form 8-K that the Company filed with the SEC (News - Alert), Crowe indicated that it was resigning due in part due to the Company's lack of controls and procedures to ensure accurate and timely communications between the Compay's operations teams in China and its U.S.-based accounting team. As a result of this disclosure, NASDAQ halted trading of Altair's shares on September 4, 2014 at $4.30 per share.

Altair shares resumed trading on September 24, 2014, and closed that day at $0.95.
