The complaint charges FalconStor and certain of its officers and directors with violations of federal securities laws. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose the following adverse facts: (i) that the Company was experiencing weak demand for its products and services; (ii) that FalconStor was making improper payments to secure a contract with at least one of the Company's customers; and (iii) as a result of the foregoing, defendants lacked a reasonable basis for their positive statements about FalconStor and its prospects.
On September 29, 2010, FalconStor announced that, effective immediately, the Companya™s founder, ReiJane Huai, had resigned from his positions as Chairman of the Board of Directors, President, and Chief Executive Officer of FalconStor. Mr. Huai tendered his resignation following the disclosure that certain improper payments were allegedly made in connection with the Company's contract with one customer. As a result of this announcement, shares of FalconStor fell to $3.15, a decline of more than 22% from the closing price of $4.06 on September 28, 2010.
If you purchased FalconStor common stock during the Class Period, you may request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff of the class no later than November 30, 2010. 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.
