FINAL DEADLINE ALERT: Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC Reminds Investors of Class Action Against PPG Industries, Inc. (PPG) & Lead Plaintiff Deadline - July 19, 2018

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / July 18, 2018 / Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC reminds investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against PPG Industries, Inc. ("PPG" or the "Company") (NYSE: PPG) and certain of its officers, on behalf of shareholders who purchased PPG securities between April 24, 2017 and May 10, 2018, both dates inclusive ("Class Period"). Such investors are encouraged to join this case by visiting the firm's site: www.bgandg.com/ppg.

This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) PPG's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the quarterly financial statements of 2017 contained improper accounting entries and could no longer be relied upon; (2) PPG failed to maintain adequate internal controls; and (3) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On May 10, 2018, post-market, PPG disclosed that the Company's Audit Committee had found evidence that improper accounting entries were made by certain employees at the direction of its former vice president and controller. PPG's former vice president was placed on administrative leave on April 25, 2018 and terminated effective May 10, 2018, while two employees who acted under the former vice president's direction have been reassigned to different roles. Concurrently, PPG advised investors that its financial statements for the year 2017 should not be relied upon and that the Company will be unable to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. On this news, PPG's share price has fallen sharply post-market on May 10, 2018.
