Leap Wireless International Inc. Announces Settlement of Securities Class Action Lawsuit
02/26/2010
Leap Wireless International Inc. announced that a settlement has been reached in the consolidated securities class action lawsuits pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. The lawsuits being settled relate to the company's 2007 restatement of certain financial statements to correct for errors in previously reported service revenues, equipment revenues, and operating expenses. Although the company and the individual defendants have denied any liability or responsibility for the claims made and makes no admission of any wrongdoing, the company believes that it is in the best interests of its stockholders to settle the matters. The settlement is contingent on court approval and provides for, among other things, dismissal of the lawsuits with prejudice, the granting of broad releases of the defendants, and a payment to the plaintiffs of $13.75 million, which would include payment of any attorneys' fees for plaintiffs' counsel. The company anticipates that the entire settlement amount will be paid by its insurers. On February 18, 2010, the lead plaintiff filed a motion seeking preliminary approval by the court of the settlement and approval of a form of notice to potential settlement class members.
Leap Wireless International Inc. expected to Report Q1 2010 Results on May 3, 2010. This event was calculated by Capital IQ (Created on February 25, 2010).
