Marketwired
Abraham, Fruchter & Twersky, LLP today announced that a class
action has been commenced in the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York on behalf of purchasers of the
common stock of RHI Entertainment, Inc. ("RHI" or the "Company")
(NASDAQ: RHIE) pursuant and/or traceable to the Company's initial
public offering (the "IPO" or the "Offering") on or about June 19,
2008.
The complaint charges RHI and certain of its executives with
violations of the Securities Act of 1933 by, among other things,
issuing a materially false and misleading Prospectus and
Registration Statement (collectively, the "Registration
Statement"). According to the complaint, the Company's executives
made materially false and misleading statements in the Registration
Statement regarding the company's financial prospects at the time
of the IPO, that based on their business operations, liquidity, and
expansion distribution opportunities, the Company had orders for
and would be able to release 40 MFT movies and mini-series. The
complaint further alleges that defendants failed to disclose that,
given the declining state of the credit markets and other negative
factors then impacting the Company's business, the Company would
not be able to complete 40 MFT movies and miniseries in 2008. This
caused the price of the IPO to be artificially inflated.
On November 6, 2008, the Company disclosed the liquidity and
growth problems to the public in a press release, which caused the
price of RHI common stock to drop from $13.91 per share to $7.95
per share on November 10, 2008, on heavy trading volume. RHI common
stock currently trades at $2.87 per share.
Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers
who purchased common stock of RHI pursuant and/or traceable to the
Company's IPO on or about June 19, 2008. The Plaintiff is
represented by Abraham, Fruchter & Twersky, LLP which has
extensive experience in securities class action cases, and the firm
has been ranked among the leading class action law firms in terms
of recoveries achieved by a survey of class action law firms
conducted by Institutional Shareholder Services.
