Abraham, Fruchter & Twersky, LLP Files Class Action Lawsuit Against Global Cash Access Holdings, Inc.
| Source: Abraham, Fruchter & Twersky, LLP
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - April 11, 2008) - Abraham, Fruchter & Twersky, LLP commenced a
class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York (Case No. 08-CV-3516 (SWK)) (the "Court") on behalf of
a class (the "Class") of all persons who purchased or acquired shares of
common stock of Global Cash Access Holdings, Inc. (NYSE : GCA ) ("GCA" or the
"Company"), pursuant or traceable to the Company's initial public offering
("IPO") which commenced on September 22, 2005, and who held such shares of
GCA common stock until November 14, 2007. The claims asserted arise under
Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, respectively 15
U.S.C. §§ 77k, 77l(a)(2) and 77o, and have been asserted against: GCA;
current and former directors Kirk Sanford, Karim Maskatiya, Robert
Cucinotta; controlling shareholders M&C International and Summit Partners,
L.P.; and underwriters Goldman Sachs & Co., Inc. and JP Morgan Securities
Inc.
The complaint alleges that: (a) the Company's internal controls were
deficient causing its finance and accounting departments to be unable to
accurately calculate the amount of commissions payable to the Company's
customers; (b) GCA had improperly computed the amount of commissions it was
required to pay many of its customers resulting in the Company failing to
comply with contractual terms; and (c) GCA's expenses (i.e. cost of
revenues) during 2005 were understated resulting in an overstatement of
gross profit margins and net income. The subsequent disclosure of these
facts resulted in the decline of the Company's common stock price, causing
Plaintiff and the other members of the Class to suffer damages.
If you purchased or otherwise acquired GCA common stock pursuant or
traceable to the IPO you may, no later than June 10, 2008, request that the
Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. A lead plaintiff is a representative
party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the
litigation. In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, you must meet certain
legal requirements, including the Court's determination that the Class
representative's claim is typical of the claims of other Class members, and
that the Class representative will adequately represent the Class. Under
certain circumstances, one or more class members may together serve as
"lead plaintiffs."
