Any member of the purported class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. The complaint charges Midway and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Midway develops and publishes software for major video game systems. The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants assured investors that Midway would perform as expected in the fourth quarter of 2005. In fact, the Company did not perform as expected because defendants had decided to lay off 8% of the Company�s workforce and engage in costly restructuring. Before the full costs of these decisions were made public, however, defendants were able to sell off over $14 million of their shares on the open market within three weeks of one another. On May 24, 2006, defendants announced that they would have to sell $75 million in convertible notes that would be highly dilutive to current shareholders in order to raise cash. In response to this announcement, Midway�s stock price fell to $7.39 per share. Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of Midway common stock during the Class Period (the �Class�). The plaintiff is represented by Lerach Coughlin, which has expertise in prosecuting investor class actions and extensive experience in actions involving financial fraud.
