A class action has been filed against Printcafe Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: PCAF) and certain of its officers and directors by stockholders who purchased the company's common stock between June 18 and October 22, 2002. The action claims that the defendants violated federal securities laws by issuing a materially false and misleading Registration Statement and Prospectus in connection with Printcafe's initial public offering (IPO). The stockholders seek to recover compensatory damages for the loss of value of their stock.
The action alleges that the Registration Statement and Prospectus were materially false and misleading because statements made therein failed to disclose, or misrepresented, the following adverse facts, among others:
1. That demand for the company's products and services was declining to the extent that the company was not performing in line with its internal expectations.
2. That the company's product development efforts were experiencing difficulties.
3. That the company's declining financial performance would require it to engage in a material restructuring of its operations in order to generate cost savings and reverse that negative trend.
