About the Lawsuit

The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

On June 17, 2010, Motricity priced its IPO at $10 per share, for net proceeds of $51.4 million. The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants misled investors concerning the trends in Motricity's business, and asserted that the Motricity would continue to achieve success despite the increasing popularity of smartphones. As a result of defendants' false statements, Motricity stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period, reaching a high of $30.74 per share on November 9, 2010.

On May 3, 2011, Motricity issued a press release that announced a net loss of ($6.1) million, or ($0.15) diluted earnings per share for Q1 2011. Motricity's stock fell $1.82 per share to close at $10.99 per share on May 4, 2011. Then, on August 9, 2011, Motricity reported a net loss of ($4.3) million, or ($0.09) diluted earnings per share for Q2 2011. This result failed to come close to Wall Street's forecast. Accordingly, Motricity's shares sunk, opening at $2.26 per share on August 10, 2011, a decline of 50% on huge volume.
