A class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of all purchasers of Opnext, Inc. ("Opnext" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: OPXT) stock from the date of the Company's Initial Public Offering (the "IPO") on February 14, 2007 through February 13, 2008 (the "Class Period"). The case is pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey.
The complaint charges that Opnext and certain of its present and former officers, directors, and control persons violated Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 by issuing a materially inaccurate Registration Statement and Prospectus (collectively the "Registration Statement") in connection with the Company's IPO.
According to the Complaint, on or about February 14, 2007 the Opnext commenced its IPO priced at $15.00 per share for over 16 million shares of stock. The Complaint asserts that Opnext's Registration Statement was materially false because: (i) the Company's reported net income for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2007 was overstated; and (ii) the Company's reported net loss for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 was understated.
The Complaint further alleges that on February 13, 2008 the Company announced, among other things, the Company's previously issued financial statements could no longer be relied upon and that it had to restate them. As a result of these adverse disclosures, Opnext's stock price dropped, damaging investors.
If you acquired the securities of the defendants during the Class Period you may, no later than the Lead Plaintiff Deadline shown above, request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff through counsel of your choice. You may also choose to remain an absent class member. A lead plaintiff must meet certain requirements.
