BALTIMORE, MD -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/20/09 -- Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of Boeing Company, Inc. ("Boeing" or the "Company") (NYSE: BA) during the period between May 4, 2009 and June 22, 2009, inclusive (the "Class Period").

No class has yet been certified in the above action. Members of the Class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff. If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the Class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff no later than January 12, 2010 and be selected by the Court. The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement and how much of a settlement to accept for the Class in the action. The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in the Company during the Class Period. You are not required to have sold your shares to seek damages or to serve as a Lead Plaintiff. You may contact Brower Piven (through hoffman@browerpiven.com or 410/986-0036) to answer any questions you may have in that regard.

The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the Company's failure to disclose during the Class Period the true testing results for the Dreamliner 787 ("787") to forestall cancellations of orders for the 787, particularly as the orders for its competition, the Airbus A380, were gaining ground; to conceal from the market the material fact that the 787 had a structural problem in its design that would prevent the first flight of the 787 by June 30, 2009, and delivery in the first quarter of 2010; and to enable Boeing to make a positive presentation concerning the test results for the 787 and the schedule for the first flight and delivery of the 787 at the Paris Air Show scheduled for June 15-18, 2009, at which Boeing hoped to receive additional orders for the 787 and beat the showing made by the Airbus for its A380. According to the complaint, after Boeing announced on June 23, 2009 that the first flight of the 787 would be postponed, the value of Boeing's stock declined significantly.

If you have suffered a net loss for all transactions in Boeing Company, Inc. common stock during the Class Period you may obtain additional information about this lawsuit and your ability to become a lead plaintiff by contacting Brower Piven at www.browerpiven.com, by email at hoffman@browerpiven.com, by calling 410-986-0036, or at Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, The World Trade Center-Baltimore, 401 East Pratt Street, Suite 2525, Baltimore, Maryland 21202. Attorneys at Brower Piven have combined experience litigating securities and class action cases of over 40 years. If you choose to retain counsel, you may retain Brower Piven without financial obligation or cost to you, or you may retain other counsel of your choice. You need take no action at this time to be a member of the class.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pomerantz Haudek Grossman & Gross LLP (www.pomerantzlaw.com) ("Pomerantz") has filed a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court, Western District of Washington, against Northwest Pipe Company ("Northwest Pipe" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: NWPX) and certain of its top officials. The class action (C09-5724 RBL) was filed on behalf of purchasers of the securities of the Company between April 23, 2008 and November 11, 2009, both dates inclusive, (the "Class Period"). The Complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.

Northwest Pipe manufactures and markets large-diameter, high pressure steel pipeline systems for use in water infrastructure applications, primarily related to drinking water systems. Its pipeline systems are also used for hydroelectric power systems, wastewater systems and other applications. The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period defendants issued materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business and financial results. Specifically, the Complaint alleges the defendants overstated the Company's revenues and earnings by failing to recognize revenues in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. As a result of the challenged statements, Northwest Pipe common stock traded at artificially inflated prices throughout the Class Period.

On November 11, 2009, the Company announced that it was delaying the filing of its Quarterly Report for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, pending the conclusion of an ongoing internal investigation of certain accounting matters. On November 12, 2009, the Company's stock dropped $4.49 per share to close at $26.74, a one-day decline of 14.37%.

If you are a shareholder who purchased the securities of Northwest Pipe during the Class Period, you have until January 19, 2010 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff for the class. Shareholders outside the United States may join the action, regardless of where they live or which exchange was used to purchase the securities. A copy of the complaint can be obtained at www.pomerantzlaw.com. To discuss this action, contact Teresa L. Webb at (tlwebb@pomlaw.com) or 888.476.6529 (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll free. Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address and telephone number.
