NEW YORK, Aug. 24, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Brualdi Law Firm, P.C. announces that a lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada on behalf of purchasers of MGM Mirage ("MGM" or the "Company") (NYSE:MGM) stock during the period between August 2, 2007 and March 5, 2009, inclusive (the "Class Period") for violations of the federal securities laws.
No class has yet been certified in the above action. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. If you purchased MGM common stock during the Class Period, and wish to move the court for appointment of lead plaintiff, you must do so by October 19, 2009. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in the Company during the Class Period. You do not need to seek appointment as a lead plaintiff in order to share in any recovery.
To be a member of the class you need not take any action at this time, and you may retain counsel of your choice. If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this Notice or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Sue Lee at The Brualdi Law Firm, P.C. 29 Broadway, Suite 2400, New York, New York 10006, by telephone toll free at (877) 495-1187 or (212) 952-0602, by email to slee@brualdilawfirm.com or visit our website at http://www.brualdilawfirm.com.
The Complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements concerning MGM's financial strength, liquidity and the prospects for the development of MGM's CityCenter. This caused MGM's common stock price to be artificially inflated, allowing MGM insiders to sell close to $90 million worth of MGM stock at higher prices than they would otherwise have obtained. As the true facts about MGM's deteriorating financial condition and the Company's inability to fund the CityCenter project leaked into the market, the inflation in the price of MGM stock was removed, causing plaintiff and the members of the Class damages.
