SEATTLE, April 5, 2007 LAWFUEL – Legal & Class Action Newswire — Keller Rohrback L.L.P. is investigating claims against executive officers and board members of Insight Enterprises, Inc. (“Insight” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: NSIT) in light of recent information concerning the alleged backdating of stock options at the Company.
In November 2006, Insight’s Board of Directors appointed an Options Subcommittee of independent directors to conduct a review of the Company’s historical stock option practices for the years 1995 through 2006. On April 5, 2007, Insight issued a press release stating that the Options Subcommittee had identified various categories of grants that had been made that retrospectively selected dates for anniversary, promotion, and discretionary grants based on the lowest stock price in a particular period.
In light of the conclusions reached to date, the Company has warned that it will likely need to restate its financial statements for fiscal years 2002 and 2003 and that these financial statements should no longer be relied upon. The Company currently estimates that the cumulative additional non-cash stock-based compensation expense to be recorded is likely to be in the range of $40 million to $70 million, excluding any tax consequences.
Keller Rohrback’s investigation focuses on the extent to which the Company’s stock option grant dates and exercise prices of stock options were manipulated by Insight’s executive officers and directors in order to boost their value to those who received them.
