Marketwired
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.
