NEW YORK, Aug. 20, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Attorney Advertising. Stull, Stull & Brody today announced that it has commenced an investigation relating to the 401(k) defined contribution retirement plans of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (``McGraw-Hill'' or the ``Company'') (NYSE:MHP - News). Among other things, Stull, Stull & Brody is investigating whether fiduciaries of the McGraw-Hill 401(k) plan and of the Standard and Poor's 401(k) plan may have violated the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (``ERISA'') by failing to disclose the Company's true operating condition to participants and beneficiaries of the plans (including disclosures relating to its subsidiary Standard and Poor's ratings of subprime-mortgage-backed debt instruments which lead to an investigation by the European Union), by offering McGraw-Hill stock as an investment option under the plans when it was not prudent to do so, and/or by allowing an imprudent overconcentration of Company stock in the Company's 401(k) plans.
