SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Pomerantz Law Firm Investigates Claims On Behalf of Investors of General Cable Corp. -- BGC

NEW YORK, July 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz Grossman Hufford Dahlstrom & Gross LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of General Cable Corp. (NYSE: BGC) ("General Cable" or the "Company") who purchased General Cable common stock between January 1, 2011  and July 23, 2013 (the "Class Period"). Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at rswilloughby@pomlaw.com or 888-476-6529, ext. 237.

The investigation concerns whether General Cable and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

On July 31, 2013, the Company reported in a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation FD filing, that on October 29, 2012, the Company announced that it had identified historical accounting errors relating to inventory. The Company believes that the inventory accounting issues were, to a significant extent, attributable to a complex theft scheme in Brazil and, to a lesser extent, accounting errors, primarily in Brazil, affecting work in process and finished goods inventory that were not detected due to a deficient reconciliation process. As a result, on March 1, 2013, the Company filed amendments to its previously filed Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended March 30, 2012 and June 29, 2012 and to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 to restate the previously issued financial statements and related financial information contained therein.
