Investors who traded in Yahooa™s securities between the dates of April 19, 2011, and March 13, 2011 (the aclass period), are encouraged to contact the Hagens Berman legal team via email at [ Yahoo@hbsslaw.com ].

The firm is continuing to investigate Yahoo after the company failed, by April 19, 2011, to inform investors that Alibaba, a company in which Yahoo had purchased a 43 percent share in 2005, had shifted its e-commerce system, Alipay, to another private company without Yahooa™s authorization.
The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, alleges that Yahoo failed to inform investors of the transfer, thereby inflating the stock price of Yahoo stock in violation of the securities laws. Yahoo reportedly admitted that it was informed by March 31, 2011, of the transfer of Alipay. Yet, the company did not mention the transfer in its April 19, 2011, quarterly earnings announcement and did not inform its investors of the change until on or about May 13, 2011.
Yahoo stock traded for as much as $18.64 during the class period, and has since traded as low as $14.42.
Hagens Berman is investigating exactly what Yahooa™s management knew on March 31, 2011, and why it failed to disclose the transfer when it made positive statements about its business. Persons with knowledge of the surrounding facts are encouraged to contact Hagens Berman partner Reed R. Kathrein.
