The complaint charges Powerwave and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Powerwave engages in the design, manufacture, marketing, and sale of wireless solutions for wireless communications networks worldwide.

The complaint alleges that, during the Class Period, defendants issued materially false and misleading statements regarding the Companyas business and prospects. Specifically, defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose the following adverse facts: (i) that the Company was experiencing a dramatic decline in demand from customers in its North American markets; (ii) that the Company was rapidly burning through its free cash flow as revenues declined and expenses increased; and (iii) that, as a result of the foregoing, defendants lacked a reasonable basis for their positive statements about the Company, its operations and earnings.

On October 18, 2011, Powerwave issued a press release announcing that ait anticipates that revenues for its fiscal third quarter ended October 2, 2011 will be in the range of $75 million to $79 million.a Following the issuance of the press release, Powerwave held a conference call to discuss the announcement. During the conference call, defendants admitted that the Company was performing poorly and burning through a substantial amount of free cash. In response to the announcement, on October 19, 2011, the price of Powerwave common stock declined from $1.46 per share to $0.85 per share, or 42%, on extremely heavy trading volume.

Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of Powerwave common stock during the Class Period (the aClassa). The plaintiff is represented by Robbins Geller, which has expertise in prosecuting investor class actions and extensive experience in actions involving financial fraud.
