3-DAY DEADLINE ALERT: The Schall Law Firm Announces it is Investigating Claims Against PPG Industries, Inc. and Encourages Investors with Losses in Excess of $100,000 to Contact the Firm

The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, announces that it is investigating claims on behalf of investors of PPG Industries, Inc. ("PPG" or "the Company") (NYSE: PPG) for violations of §§10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The investigation focuses on whether the Company issued false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose information pertinent to investors. PPG’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2017, and the quarterly statements of 2017 all contained improper accounting entries and could not be relied upon by the investing public. PPG also failed to sustain appropriate internal controls. As a result, the Company’s financial statements were materially false and misleading throughout the class period and did not accurately reflect the results of business operations and the financial health of PPG. When accurate information about PPG became apparent in the market, investors suffered damages.
