SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Pomerantz Law Firm Investigates Claims On Behalf of Investors of Hyperdynamics Corporation -- HDY

NEW YORK, Oct. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz Grossman Hufford Dahlstrom & Gross LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Hyperdynamics Corporation. ("Hyperdynamics" or the "Company")(NYSE: HDY).  Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at rswilloughby@pomlaw.com or 888-476-6529, ext. 237.

The investigation concerns whether Hyperdynamics and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.   On Monday September 30, 2013, Hyperdynamics announced that in September it received a subpoena from the Department of Justice (DOJ) requesting that the company produce documents relating to its business in Guinea.

The company understands that the DOJ is investigating whether Hyperdynamics' activities in obtaining and retaining the concession rights and its relationships with charitable organizations potentially violate the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or U.S. anti-money laundering statutes. 

On this news, shares of Hyperdynamics fell $0.66 per share to more than 14.93% on intraday trading to a price of  $3.76 on October 1, 2013.
