NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - August 14, 2015) - Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, reminds investors in Helix Energy Solutions Group, Inc. ("Helix" or the "Company") (HLX) of the September 29, 2015 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action lawsuit filed against Helix and the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

The lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas on behalf of all persons who purchased Helix common stock between October 21, 2014 and July 21, 2015 (the "Class Period").

The complaint focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by misrepresenting and/or failing to disclose the time that two of its main well intervention vessels would be idle during 2015, specifically that: (i) during the second quarter of 2015, one vessel, the Q4000, was in regulatory dry-dock for a month longer than Helix previously disclosed and (ii) the other vessel, the H534, was unused for almost half the quarter and still has not been put in regulatory dry-dock.

On July 20, 2015, the Company announced that its well intervention business had been negatively impacted in the second quarter of 2015 because of a longer than planned Q4000 regulatory dry-dock and customer delays on the H534.

Following this news, the share price fell $1.90 to close at $9.40, a 16.8% drop, on July 21, 2015.
