NEW YORK– LAWFUEL – Legal Action Newswire –Abraham, Fruchter & Twersky, LLP commenced a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Case No. 07-10524) on behalf of a class (the “Class”) of all persons who purchased or acquired securities of Pzena Asset Management, Inc. (“Pzena” or the “Company”) (NYSE: PZN) in the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) which commenced on October 24, 2007. The claims asserted arise under Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. §77k, and have been asserted against Pzena and Richard C. Pzena, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.
The complaint alleges that Defendants made materially misleading statements and otherwise failed to disclose a pattern of net redemptions in the largest mutual fund advised by Pzena, which existed at the time of the IPO. The subsequent disclosure of these facts three weeks later resulted in the price of the Company’s common stock declining, causing Plaintiff and the other members of the Class to suffer damages.
If you purchased or otherwise acquired Pzena common stock you may, no later than January 22, 2008 request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. A lead plaintiff is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, you must meet certain legal requirements, including the Court’s determination that the class member’s claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class. Under certain circumstances, one or more class members may together serve as “lead plaintiffs.”
