DENVER, April 30, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dyer & Berens LLP (www.DyerBerens.com) today reminded athenahealth, Inc. (Nasdaq:ATHN) investors of the May 18, 2010 lead plaintiff deadline in the securities class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired ATHN securities between October 29, 2009 and February 25, 2010, inclusive (the "Class Period").
If you purchased or otherwise acquired athenahealth shares during the Class Period, you may, no later than May 18, 2010, request that the court appoint you as a lead plaintiff for the class. A lead plaintiff is a class member that acts on behalf of other investors in directing the litigation. Members of the putative class may seek appointment through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain absent class members. Although investors' ability to share in any recovery is not affected by their decision to seek appointment, lead plaintiffs make important decisions which could affect the overall recovery for class members.
