DENVER, July 31, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Dyer & Berens LLP (www.DyerBerens.com) today reminded investors in the Evergreen Ultra Short Opportunities Fund, f/k/a the Evergreen Ultra Short Bond Fund (EUBAX, EUBBX, EUBCX and EUBIX) (the "Fund"), of the upcoming August 22, 2008 "lead plaintiff" deadline in the pending class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of individuals and entities who, within 3 years of the June 23, 2008 filing of the lawsuit, purchased or otherwise acquired shares of the Fund pursuant to or traceable to the Registration Statement/Prospectus (the "Class"). The complaint seeks remedies for shareholders under the federal Securities Act of 1933.
If you are a member of the Class, you have the legal right to petition the Court to be appointed a "lead plaintiff." A lead plaintiff is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Any such request must satisfy certain criteria and be made on or before August 22, 2008. Any member of the purported Class may move the Court to serve as a lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.
If you would like to discuss a potential lead plaintiff appointment, or your rights and interests with respect to the lawsuit, you may contact Jeffrey A. Berens, Esq. at 1-888-300-3362, 303-861-1764 or via email at jeff@dyerberens.com.
