Saxena White P.A. Files a Shareholder Suit Against Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.
| Source: Saxena White P.A.
BOCA RATON, FL--(Marketwire - June 18, 2008) - Notice is hereby given that Saxena White
P.A. has filed suit on behalf of shareholders of Lehman Brothers Holdings,
Inc. ("Lehman Brothers" or the "Company") (NYSE : LEH ) in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York.
The complaint seeks damages for violations of federal securities laws on
behalf of all investors who purchased Lehman common stock between September
13, 2006 through June 6, 2008, inclusive (the "Class Period"). Lehman
Brothers is an international investment banking firm. Throughout the Class
Period, Defendants touted the Company's strong liquidity position, superior
risk management policies and stable overall financial prospects despite a
difficult environment in the financial services industry. As a result of
Defendants' statements, the stock traded as high as $86.18 per share during
the Class Period.
The complaint extends a prior Class Period to include the Company's most
recent earnings disclosure of June 9, 2008. On this date, prior to the
opening of trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the Company stunned the
market by reporting a $2.8 billion second quarter loss -- nearly ten times
the loss analysts had anticipated and the Company's first reported loss
since going public in 1994. Lehman Brothers also announced plans to raise
$6 billion in additional capital to help it survive its financial crisis.
This news shocked investors as management had issued repeated assurances
that the Company was financially strong and its liquidity position solid,
even going so far as denying speculation that Lehman Brothers would suffer
losses such as this. The stock closed at $29.48 that day, a decline of
$2.81, on heavy volume of close to 170 million shares.
