INVESTOR ALERT: Investigation of Horsehead Holding Corp. Announced by Law Offices of Howard G. Smith

Business Wire
Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces an investigation
on behalf of investors of Horsehead Holdings Corp. (“Horsehead” or
the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ZINC) (Other OTC: ZINCQ) concerning the
Company and its officers’ possible violations of federal securities
laws.
Horsehead, together with its subsidiaries, produces and sells
zinc and nickel-based products primarily in the United States and
Canada.
The investigation concerns whether or not the Company and its
executives violated certain federal securities laws by failing to
reveal the actual operational and efficiency obstacles facing
Horsehead’s Mooresboro Facility (“Mooresboro”).
On December 10, 2015, Moody's downgraded the Company's corporate
debt from B3 to Caa2 primarily due to an adverse perspective on the
conditions of Mooresboro. Shortly thereafter in January 2016, the
Company failed to make a $1.8 million interest payment to certain
holders of the Company's convertible senior notes and consequently
defaulted on multiple credit agreements.
Then on January 22, 2016, Horsehead declared a cease in
operations at Mooresboro and the termination of most employees at
the site. And, on February 2, 2016, Horsehead disclosed that
it had started bankruptcy proceedings under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code. As a result, on February 11, 2016, trading in
Horsehead stock was halted and about two weeks later, its common
stock was delisted from the NASDAQ.
If you purchased Horsehead securities, have information or would
like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions

respect to these matters, please contact Howard G. Smith, Esquire,
