The law firm of Izard Nobel LLP, which has significant experience representing investors in prosecuting claims of securities fraud, announces that a lawsuit seeking class action status has been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of those who purchased the American Depository Receipts ("ADRs") of Satyam Computer Services Ltd. (NYSE: SAY) ("Satyam" or the "Company") between January 6, 2004 and January 6, 2009, inclusive (the "Class Period").

The Complaint charges that Satyam and certain of its executives violated federal securities laws by issuing materially false and misleading statements. On January 7, 2009, the Company's CEO B. Ramalinga Raju sent a letter to the Satyam Board of Directors and the Securities & Exchange Board of India acknowledging a "multi-year" fraud in which Satyam's financial accounts and disclosures were systematically falsified. According to the letter, Raju admitted to having inflated the amount of cash on the Company's balance sheet by nearly $1 billion, incurring liability of $253 million on funds arranged by him personally, and overstating Satyam's September 2008 quarterly revenues by 76% and profits by 97%. As a result of this disclosure, the Company's ADRs fell $8.42, or 90%, prior to the opening of the New York Stock Exchange, which has suspended trading in Satyam's ADRs.

If you are a member of the class, you may, no later than March 9, 2009, request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff of the class. A lead plaintiff is a class member that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Although your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision whether or not to seek appointment as a lead plaintiff, lead plaintiffs make important decisions which could affect the overall recovery for class members.
