Tenaris is a manufacturer of steel pipe, casing, tubing, line pipe, and mechanical and structural pipes, primarily for the oil and gas industry. Tenaris touts itself as having been an important player in the oil and gas market in Argentina for more than 60 years.

On August 1, 2018, major Argentinian newspaper La Nación published an investigation detailing a massive corruption scandal spanning more than a decade, including illicit payments made by various prominent businesses and business leaders, primarily in the construction and energy (i.e., oil and gas) industries to Argentine government officials.

On November 27, 2018, media outlets reported that Argentine Federal Judge Claudio Bonadio formally charged Paulo Rocca, Tenaris's Chief Executive Officer, in connection with the corruption scandal. Reuters reported that Rocca was charged with "graft" and "illicit association and payment of bribes," and that Argentine authorities had frozen approximately US $104 million of Rocca's assets.

In response to this news, Tenaris's ADS price fell $2.64 per share or nearly 10% to close at $24.36 per share on November 27, 2018, thereby injuring investors.

The complaint filed in this action seeks to recover investors' losses in connection with the revelation of Tenaris's alleged corruption and fraud.

On February 14, 2020, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the action, which Judge Dearie denied in part on October 9, 2020. Then on December 22, 2020, the defendants filed a motion requesting that the Court reconsider its decision. On July 1, 2021, Judge Dearie denied the defendants' motion for reconsideration, holding that the class action complaint sufficiently alleged that the defendants committed fraud when they "proceeded to highlight [Tenaris's] Code of Conduct's anti-bribery provisions in annual SEC filings" while "engag[ing] in the bribery of governmental officials in Argentina."
