(“Embraer” or the “Company”) (NYSE:ERJ) and certain of its officers. The class action, filed in United States District Court, Southern District of New York, and docketed under 16-cv-06277, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Embraer securities between April 16, 2012 and July 28, 2016 inclusive (the “Class Period”). This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).

Embraer designs, develops, manufactures, and sells aircraft and systems in Brazil, North America, Latin America, the Asia-Pacific region, Europe, and internationally. 

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the Company had paid bribes to officials in the Dominican Republic to secure contracts for the sale of aircraft; (ii) Embraer’s President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Defendant Frederico Pinheiro Fleury Curado (“Curado”) was aware of the bribery scheme; (iii) the foreseeable consequences of the foregoing conduct would cost Embraer hundreds of millions of dollars; and (iv) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ statements about Embraer’s business, operations, and prospects were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On November 1, 2013, after the market closed, The Wall Street Journal reported that Embraer was under investigation by the U.S. and Brazilian governments concerning bribery of Dominican Republic officials to secure a contract for the sale of military aircraft.

On this news, Embraer’s ADRs fell $0.17, or 0.57%, to close at $29.55 on November 4, 2013, the next trading day.

On September 23, 2014, shortly before the market closed, The Wall Street Journal reported that Brazilian authorities had filed bribery charges against eight Embraer employees, claiming that they had bribed officials in the Dominican Republic to secure a $92 million contract.

On this news, Embraer’s ADRs fell $0.26, or 0.68%, to close at $38.25 on September 24, 2014.

On March 16, 2016, after the market closed, various media outlets reported that Elio Moti Sonnenfeld (“Sonnenfeld”), a sales consultant who purportedly paid bribes on behalf of Embraer, had told Brazilian prosecutors that he believed the Company’s top managers, including Defendant Curado, then CEO of Embraer, knew of the illicit payments made in connection with the Dominican Republic sales.

On June 9, 2016, after the market closed, Embraer announced that Defendant Curado was stepping down from his position as CEO after 32 years with the Company, and that Paulo César de Souza e Silva would replace Curado as of July 2016.

On this news, Embraer’s ADRs fell $1.18, or 5.44%, to close at $20.51 on June 10, 2016.

On July 29, 2016, Embraer filed a Form 6-K with the SEC, stating, in relevant part, that: [N]egotiations with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the settlement of the allegations of non-compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) have significantly progressed, to the point that Embraer is recognizing a US$ 200 million loss contingency in the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Embraer also announced its financial and operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Embraer reported, inter alia, the $200 million loss contingency and a net loss for the quarter totaling $99.4 million, or $0.55 per share.

On this news, Embraer’s ADRs fell $2.93, or 13.82%, to close at $18.27 on July 29, 2016.

A handful of six-square-meter apartments allegedly sold for 880,000 yuan (131,963 U.S. dollars) each in Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province.

The city’s Urban Planning, Land and Resources Commission said Monday that the apartments were illegally built and sold.

Local media reported that nine six-square-meter apartments in Nanshan District had sold out the morning of being listed, on Sept. 24, and the average price was 150,000 yuan per square meter.

The apartments feature a folding bed inside a closet. The kitchen and toilet occupy another six square meters, which is allegedly a free gift from the developer.

The news quickly went viral on the Internet, with many people saying the sales were a result of skyrocketing home prices in first-tier cities.

According to an investigation launched Sunday, 11 micro-apartments, located in a 15-storey mixed-use high rise, were put on the market.

The commission said the developer had built the apartments in the pool area without planning permission. Meanwhile, four real estate agent firms, implicated in the sale and promotion of the properties, had used “deceptive marketing techniques.”

The commission confirmed that only four apartments were sold, instead of the nine initially reported.

Nanshan District Land Planning Supervision Bureau ordered Zhongzhi, a capital investment company and owner of the apartments, to restore the apartment complex to its original state. The company was also asked to launch an internal audit.

Zhongzhi said it would void the contracts and return all the money to the buyers.

An investigation has been launched and necessary measures will be adopted to regulate the companies, the commission said.

According to national standards for residential buildings that came into effect in 2012, the usable space of a residential apartment should be no less than 22 square meters.

However, the code does not apply to the micro-apartments in Shenzhen as they were built in 2004.

Easy credit and low mortgage rates have contributed to home-price increase in China’s big cities over the past year.

Statistics show that home prices in Shanghai, Shenzhen and Beijing rose 37.8 percent, 37.3 percent and 25.8 percent year on year, respectively, in August.

Rabat – Moroccan firms triumph over foreign multinationals and maintain their popularity over future business talent

Employer branding thought leader, Universum Global, is present in more than fifty markets globally and conducts extensive research amongst students and young professionals. In 2015 Universum expanded its research into five African markets; Algeria, Morocco, Ghana, Kenya and Nigeria. The recently released 2016 results for these regions raises some fascinating insights into the minds of young African talent.

In Morocco the research was conducted between November 2015 and June 2016 with 2,630 respondents across the Business, Engineering/ IT, Natural Sciences, Health Medicine, Humanities, and Law fields of study at 46 universities.

The 2016 results from Morocco show some fascinating and stark differences from their counterparts in sub-Saharan Africa, as well as some major changes from the 2015 survey.

Renowned national carrier, Royal Air Maroc, continues to win the hearts of Business students with an employer brand that is aligned with business student’s top preferences such as opportunities for international travel/relocation and a creative and dynamic work environment. Other top attractive employers among business students are local employers Bank Al-Maghrib and Bourse de Casablanca. Multinational company who beat its counterparts is L’Oréal Group. On the Engineering side, Groupe OCP maintained its no. 1 position, followed by multinational automotive company Renault and the national carrier Royal Air Maroc.

Claudia Tattanelli, Chairman of the Strategic Advisory Board at Universum, said: “Moroccan graduates believe that working with these prestigious employers will allow them to be in a work environment that is creative, where they will be equipped with training and skill development needed resulting having better opportunities for leadership role and career advancement.”

The findings reveal a shift in talent’s desire to work for some industries. Business students steer away from traditionally favoured sector like Professional Services, where we see drops in preference to work in this industry by 14% compared to last year. In the same time other sectors including tourism, fashion, accessories and luxurious goods as well as management and Strategic Consulting gain significant popularity in 2016.

When looking at Engineering students, Engineering and Manufacturing, Energy and Software and Computer Services sector still top the chart. However we see biggest drop (10%) from last year in industrial attractive in Software and Computer Service. Aerospace and Defence, Automobiles and Parts and Technology & Hardware Equipment sectors becomes more attractive to a certain extend (by around 5%) compared to last year.

Moroccan students appear to differ from their Nigerian, Ghanaian and Kenyan counterparts in that their career goals are focused more on a work-life balance, and to a lesser extent, on international travel or relocation opportunities, whereas Nigerian and Ghanaians are looking mainly for training, development, and leadership opportunities. Within the Moroccan survey the importance of travel and relocation within the Business sector is also in the decrease, falling from 2^nd place to 5^th place as a career goal.

Within the Engineering and Technology sectors in Morocco there were also some stark contrasts to the previous year’s survey.   In 2016, the career goal of being creative or entrepreneurial moved from 4^th place to 1^st place amongst those surveyed, while the goal of being autonomous or independent shot up from last (9^th) place to 3^rd place in a major attitude shift that sees Technology students starting to echo the sentiments of those in the Business sector and students in Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana who also value this trait.

Claudia Tattanelli, Chairman of the Strategic Advisory Board at Universum, said: “It is clear across sectors that young professionals Moroccans are looking for workplaces that offer creativity, autonomy and a work-life balance. These traits are more in-line with European and American trends as opposed to sub-Saharan African trends that prioritise goals such as training, development and entrepreneurship. Young Moroccans are also more interested in Prestige than their Nigerian and Ghanaian counterparts who prioritize Money as a key employment goal.”

Students of all degree subjects said their top preferences for their future career were opportunities for international/relocation, recognising performance and innovation. Moroccan graduates expected an average monthly salary of 12,534 MAD per month in their first job.

“Universum’s research is a crucial tool in helping employers get an insight into what students are prioritising in their future careers, our insights for the African region is highlighting a number of insights that employers looking to do business across the continent need to take into account when reaching out to talent. It is clear that although there may be similarities across regions, every country has its own unique characteristics that need to be understood.” Said Mrs. Tattanelli.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) – Federal prosecutors in New Jersey said Monday the part-owner of two information technology firms and an employee fraudulently used a visa program to reduce skilled labor costs.

Prosecutors filed conspiracy charges against Sowrabh Sharma, of New York; his two firms, Jersey City-based SCM Data and MMC Systems, of Ashburn, Virginia; and Shikha Mohta, a Jersey City man who is head of finance for both companies.

Sharma was arrested Monday and was scheduled to make his initial court appearance later in the day. It’s not known if he has an attorney who could comment on the accusations.

Mohta was arrested in May 2015 and remains free on a $100,000 bond.

In a statement, prosecutors said the companies offered consultants to clients in need of IT support. The firms recruited foreign nationals, often student visa holders or recent college graduates, and sponsored them for H-1B visas.

The H-1B program allows businesses in the United States to temporarily employ foreign workers with specialized or technical expertise in a particular field, such as accounting, engineering or computer science.

The defendants and other conspirators recruited foreign workers with purported IT expertise who sought work in the United States, prosecutors said. The conspirators then sponsored the foreign workers’ H-1B visas with the stated purpose of working for Sharma’s two companies.

Prosecutors said the conspirators falsely represented that the foreign workers had full-time positions and were paid an annual salary. They said the workers were only paid when placed at a third-party client and the defendants sometimes generated false payroll records.

When federal officials launched an audit of Sharma’s firms, the defendants allegedly provided fabricated leave or vacation slips for the time periods that the foreign workers were not working, to conceal that they were not paid as required by federal law.

The defendants are charged with conspiracy to commit visa fraud and obstruct justice and conspiracy to harbor aliens. They face up to 15 years in prison if convicted on all counts.

Justin Welby declared war on the lenders but it is regulators that have taken up the fight with more than one firm going under

The dream of becoming a lawyer helped her persevere through law school’s tough curriculum.

Miss Meryl (not her real name), with her eyes set on a future in the legal industry, has been applying to as many law firms as she could for the past year. She started doing so even before graduating.

But she might now have to shelve that dream.

The 24-year-old fresh graduate told The New Paper that all her applications were unsuccessful.

Miss Meryl, who graduated from the UK’s University of Bristol in June, said: “I can only keep searching and if I find a training contract, then it is an opportunity to train.

“But if I don’t, I will need to tread another path.”

She has been unemployed since graduation, but she is not alone.

Law school graduates are finding it hard to land a training contract these days, resulting in what some are calling an “oversupply” of new lawyers.

Like the other law graduates and students we spoke to for this story, Miss Meryl declined to be identified as she was afraid that speaking out about her situation might jeopardise her chances at landing a job.

Training contracts, which typically last for six months, are an entry requirement to the Bar.

Some law students are awarded these contracts when they apply for jobs at law firms after graduation, while others receive one during an internship.

Another recent law graduate, who wanted to be known only as Mr Lim, said: “There just are not many jobs for us to go around. The number of law students keeps on increasing but the number of training contracts does not.”

In the last five years, the number of new lawyers who have been called to the Bar has almost doubled.

In 2011, 257 law graduates were called to the Bar. During this year’s Mass Call, which was held late last month, the number was 509.

At the event, Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon said this oversupply meant that of the 650 fresh law graduates here last year, around 100 did not receive training contracts.

Some firms retain only about one-third or half of their original intake of trainees, he added.

This challenge in securing training contracts – and consequentially, jobs in the legal industry – has prompted some law graduates to tweak their plans.

One such graduate is Mr Dennis, who declined to reveal his full name.

Mr Dennis, who graduated from the National University of Singapore (NUS) with a law degree last year, waited nearly 14 months before he was offered a job “with the right prospects and in the right company”.

He turned to yoga, which he has been practising for eight years, in the meantime.

He said: “I worked as a yoga teacher for about 11 months because I needed to survive.

APPLICATIONS

“Even then, I sent out a good 20 applications but none returned with a positive offer. The only one or two firms I heard from could not offer me a decent salary.”

Not everyone will be as lucky as Mr Dennis, and the fear of not securing training contracts has prompted many law students to take up multiple internships.

A second-year NUS law student, who declined to be named, said: “I will be applying to as many firms as I can during the holidays.”

But he added that there is a limit to how many internships one can go through. “It is only feasible to do two or three internships as it usually lasts four weeks.”

In a bid to solve the problem, it was announced at the Mass Call that a new committee will be set up to review the system by which new lawyers start their careers.

The committee will examine how law firms offer training contracts to fresh law graduates, make decisions to retain them, and later nurture them.

But it might be too late for Miss Meryl, who said she is getting increasingly discouraged by her failure to land a training contract.

“If I fail to do so, then I will have to choose an alternative path.”

Law graduates should be more flexible: Experts

The issue of law graduates being unable to find jobs is a multifaceted one, according to experts.

Some believe that it might boil down to the graduates being “selective”.

Mr Rajan Supramaniam, managing director at Hilborne Law LLC, told The New Paper: “It is not that there are no jobs available, it is just that some of them preferably want an area of their interest.”

Mr Rajan, who has been in the law industry for more than 16 years, says there are always jobs available for graduates, but only if they manage their expectations.

“In some cases, graduates have their own criteria,” says Mr Rajan.

“Generally – if they are free and easy, if they are not selective – they should be able to find a place.”

Head lawyer at Gloria James-Civetta, Miss Gloria James, urges new lawyers to “exercise patience”.

The legal industry specialist, who has more than 20 years of experience, says: “Show that you are willing to learn even if it means taking a pay cut.”

In 2014, Law Minister K. Shanmugam highlighted the possibility of an excess of lawyers as more students pursued a law degree both here and overseas.

Last year, the Ministry of Law cut the number of recognised British law schools to 11, from 19.

Some saw this as a step to help ease the oversupply.

OPPORTUNITIES

Singapore Management University law don Eugene Tan said that while overseas schools have been a “contributing factor” to the increase in the number of lawyers, the issue is more than about where a degree comes from.

He said: “It is no more about earning a law degree in hard times, but more about showing what one has learnt from the opportunities of pursuing a law degree.”

When asked about the overseas schools, Miss James said: “It is all fair in love and war, so this should not be a stumbling block or an excuse.”

A slower economic growth is also seen as a cause for the oversupply of lawyers.

“People are careful on costings – they are watching their purse,” said Miss James.

“It is only natural for such reactions when the market is bad.”

But Prof Tan said that “it is not all doom and gloom.”

He told TNP: “There will be upturns as well. Even with the economy slowing down and work for law firms declining, it is also about gritting one’s teeth and making sure that one is ready to ride the upturn when it arrives.”

Mr Rajan said: “At this point of time, the economy is bad. Business environment is bad and graduates needs to be a bit more practical in their job hunting.”

To him, the way forward is to continually put in effort to land a job and gain experience first.

“There are always options. Do attachments, internships, look at temporary jobs. Learn first, even if the offer is not attractive,” he advised.

“Even if they do not get a job immediately, do not get disheartened.

“They can all secure a place – it is just a matter of time.”
