Rigrodsky & Long, P.A. Announces A Securities Fraud Class Action Lawsuit Has Been Filed Against Willbros Group, Inc.

Rigrodsky & Long, P.A.:

• Do you, or did you, own shares of Willbros Group, Inc. (NYSE: WG)?
• Did you purchase your shares before August 4, 2014, or between August 4, 2014 and October 21, 2014, inclusive?
• Did you lose money in your investment in Willbros Group, Inc.?
• Do you want to discuss your rights?

Rigrodsky & Long, P.A., including former Special Assistant United States Attorney, Timothy J. MacFall, announces that a complaint has been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas on behalf of all persons or entities that purchased the common stock of Willbros Group, Inc. ("Willbros" or the "Company") (NYSE: WG) between August 4, 2014 and October 21, 2014, inclusive (the "Class Period"), alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against the Company and certain of its officers (the "Complaint").

If you purchased shares of Willbros during the Class Period, or purchased shares prior to the Class Period and still hold Willbros, and wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rghts or interests, please contact Timothy J. MacFall, Esquire or Peter Allocco of Rigrodsky & Long, P.A., 2 Righter Parkway, Suite 120, Wilmington, DE 19803 at (888) 969-4242; by e-mail to [email protected]; or at: http://www.rigrodskylong.com/investigations/willbros-group-inc-wg.

Willbros is a specialty energy infrastructure contractor serving the oil, gas, refinery, petrochemical and power industries. The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements, and omitted materially adverse facts, about the Company's business, operations and prospects. As a result of defendants' alleged false and misleading statements, the Company's stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period.

According to the Complaint, on October 21, 2014, the Company announced that its second quarter financial results should no longer be relied upon by investors and had to be restated - requiring the Company to reverse $8 million in pre-tax income and record approximately $14-$16 million in estimated pre-tax losses at completion.

On this news, shares in Willbros fell almost 36%, closing at $4.90 per share on October 22, 2014, on unusually heavy trading volume.

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than December 29, 2014. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member's claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class. Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. Any member of the proposed class may move the court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.

While Rigrodsky & Long, P.A. did not file the Complaint in this matter, the firm, with offices in Wilmington, Delaware and Garden City, New York, regularly litigates securities class, derivative and direct actions, shareholder rights litigation and corporate governance litigation, including claims for breach of fiduciary duty and proxy violations in the Delaware Court of Chancery and in state and federal courts throughout the United States.
