Saxena White P.A. Files Securities Fraud Class Action Against UniTek Global Services, Inc.

BOCA RATON, FL--(Marketwired - Apr 19, 2013) - Saxena White P.A. has filed a securities fraud class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against UniTek Global Services, Inc. ("UniTek" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: UNTK) and certain of the Company's executive officers. The class action is filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired UniTek's common stock during the period from May 18, 2011 through April 12, 2013, inclusive (the "Class Period"). The complaint brings claims for violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

UniTek provides engineering, construction management and installation fulfillment services to companies in the telecommunications, broadband cable and satellite industries. During the Class Period, UniTek made materially false and misleading statements and omissions regarding the Company's financial condition and prospects as well as its internal controls.

On Friday, April 12, 2013, after the close of the financial markets, UniTek announced that it would need to restate its previously-issued financial results dating back to 2011. Stunningly, the Company also admitted that several employees had engaged in fraudulent activities that resulted in improper revenue recognition. UnitTek further disclosed that the Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Accounting Officers, as well as several other employees, had been immediately terminated from their positions with the Company.

In reaction to these shocking revelations, UniTek's stock price plummeted 50% from a closing price of $3.01 per share on Friday April 12, 2013 to $1.52 per share on Monday April 15, 2013, wiping out half of the Company's market capitalization in a single day.
