LawFuel.com – Pomerantz Grossman Hufford Dahlstrom & Gross LLP has filed a class action lawsuit against Tangoe, Inc. (“Tangoe” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:TNGO) and certain of its officers. The class action filed in United States District Court, District of Connecticut, and docketed under 3:13-CV-286(VLB), is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired securities of Tangoe between December 20, 2011 and September 5, 2012, both dates inclusive of (the “Class Period”). This class action seeks to recover damages against the Company and certain of its officers and directors as a result of alleged violations of the federal securities laws pursuant to Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.
If you are a shareholder who purchased Tangoe securities during the Class Period, you have until April 29, 2013 to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class.

Tangoe develops and markets computer software to help companies manage and control their fixed and mobile communications assets and costs.
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants orchestrated a scheme to inflate their share price through a series of acquisitions, and made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the Company was overstating organic growth by underreporting the percentage of revenue derived from recent acquisitions; (ii) the Company was not growing customers organically as its deferred implementation fees failed to grow; and (iii) as a result of the above, the Company’s financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On August 28, 2012, a report was published by thestreetsweeper.org that described the Company as having a “risky acquisition-driven growth strategy.” On this news, Tangoe shares declined $3.39 per share, or nearly 17%, to close at $16.70 per share on August 28, 2012.
On September 6, 2012, Copperfield Research published a report concluding that the Company had materially misrepresented its organic growth rate. On this news, Tangoe shares declined $1.03 per share, or 6% on September 6, 2012. The stock continued to decline an additional $1.68 per share or 10.5%, to close at $14.29 per share on September 7, 2012.
