Adam H. Smith, P.A., Announces Class Action on Behalf of Sellers of Tyco International Ltd. Common Stock Alleging Violations of Federal Securities Laws BOCA RATON, Fla., April 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Adam H. Smith, P.A., announced today that it filed a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida on behalf of all persons or entities (the "Class") who sold the common stock of Tyco International, LTD. ("Tyco") (NYSE: TYC) between June 15, 2002 and December 31, 2004, inclusive (the "Class Period"). The complaint alleges that defendants, including CEO Edward Breen, violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, by issuing a series of material misrepresentations during the Class Period, thereby artificially deflating the price of Tyco common stock. Specifically, the complaint alleges that defendants overstated and misrepresented material adverse facts that were known to, or recklessly disregarded, by them and: 1) conspired to encourage the initiation of criminal actions against Dennis Kozlowski, Mark H. Swartz, and Mark A. Belnick in an effort to protect the former members of the Board of Directors from liability; 2) employed a strategy that included, in part, leaking information to the media in an effort to artificially deflate share prices for the benefit of new management; and 3) recklessly disregarded the likelihood of significant dilution of Tyco equity resulting from inefficiencies and additional expenses in implementing this strategy.
