Lead Plaintiff Motion Due No Later Than August 18, 2017

New York, N.Y.  – June 30, 2017 – The Law Office of Jeffrey M. Haber (the “Firm”) is investigating Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp. (“Booz Allen” or the “Company”) (NYSE: BAH) for violations of the federal securities laws. A class action lawsuit has been brought in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Booz Allen securities between May 19, 2016 and June 15, 2017, inclusive (the “Class Period”). The case, Langley v. Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation, et al., No. 17-cv-00696, was filed on June 19, 2017, and has been assigned to Judge Leonie M. Brinkema (the “Action”).

Booz Allen, based in McLean, Virginia, is one of the largest publicly traded U.S. defense and intelligence-agency contractors. Several of its executives either previously worked for the government or left the Company to take high-level government positions. The Company provides management and technology consulting, engineering, analytics, digital, mission operations, and cyber solutions to governments, corporations, and not-for-profit organizations in the United States and internationally. At all relevant times, Booz Allen has derived substantially all of its revenues from services provided to the U.S. government. Its stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol BAH.

The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated the federal securities laws by failing to maintain proper internal financial controls and accounting standards that led to the reporting of inflated revenues purportedly earned from the Company’s contracts with the U.S. government. Specifically, the complaint alleges that the defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Booz Allen had engaged in improper and unstainable accounting practices in its contracts with the U.S. government; (ii) which inflated its reported revenues; and (iii) subjected the Company to heightened regulatory scrutiny, potential criminal sanctions, and jeopardized its business relationship with the U.S. government.

On June 15, 2017, after the market closed, Booz Allen disclosed that, on June 7, 2017, the Company’s subsidiary, Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., was informed that “the U.S. Department of Justice is conducting a civil and criminal investigation relating to certain elements of the Company’s cost accounting and indirect cost charging practices with the U.S. government.”  Following this news, shares of the Company’s stock declined $7.43 per share, or 18.9%, to close on June 16, 2017, at $31.90 per share, on heavy trading volume.
