The lawsuit was originally filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas against Houston American Energy Corporation over alleged violations of Federal Securities Laws in connection with certain allegedly false and misleading statements made between March 29, 2010 and April 18, 2012.According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges on behalf of all persons who purchased Houston American Energy Corporation (AMEX:HUSA) securities between March 29, 2010 and April 18, 2012, that Houston American Energy Corporation and certain of its top officials violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
On March 1, 2012, Houston American Energy Corporation disclosed an update on drilling operations and on April 19, 2012, Houston American Energy Corporation (AMEX:HUSA) announced that a determination has been made to cease efforts to test and complete the C7 and C9 formations in the Tamandua #1 sidetrack well. Houston American Energy Corporation said that despite favorable Logging-While-Drilling logs, cased-hole logs and mudlog shows, it was determined that continued investment in testing and completion is inadvisable at this time possibly due to formation damage while drilling.
Houston American Energy Corporation also confirmed that the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) is conducting a non-public formal investigation into Houston American Energy Corporation. Pursuant to the investigation, in February and April of 2012, Houston American Energy Corporation received three subpoenas issued by the SEC. The subpoenas called for the testimony of Houston American Energy Corporation’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer and the delivery of certain documents. The subpoenas were issued pursuant to a nonpublic formal order of private investigation issued by the SEC on March 1, 2011, which followed a nonpublic informal inquiry commenced by the SEC in October 2010. Although Houston American Energy Corporation cannot be certain of the scope of the investigation, the SEC is trying to determine whether there have been any violations of the federal securities laws.
Those who purchased shares of Houston American Energy Corporation (AMEX:HUSA) have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
