Several class actions have been filed against e-messaging protection and transaction services provider Zix Corporation (Nasdaq:ZIXI) and certain of its officers and directors by stockholders who purchased the company's common stock between October 30, 2003, and May 4, 2004. The actions claim that the defendants violated federal securities laws by issuing a series of material misrepresentations to the market over this time period, thereby artificially inflating the price of the company's securities. The stockholders seek to recover compensatory damages for the loss of value of their stock.
Zix provides, among its e-messaging and transaction services, the ability for doctors to conduct online patient visits and even to write electronic prescriptions. The action alleges that, during the applicable period, Zix concealed the fact that doctors were not adopting "e-prescribing" as fast as expected. Claims that the company would achieve 1,000 deployed active doctors by the end of Q4 2003 were allegedly false and misleading because physicians would be required to reconfigure their patient data, obtain wireless coverage, and implement a wireless network -- time- and money-intensive prerequisites -- which severely undercut physicians’ acceptance and deployment.
The lawsuit also alleges that Zix's claim that it had 4,000 deployments already on order was false because, at the time the claim was made, the physicians' offices had not even been surveyed to evaluate wireless/LAN needs. To complicate matters and further damage company financials, new offerings from Zix's Elron acquisition were allegedly delayed because of integration problems.
On May 4, 2004, Zix announced its results for Q1 2004; the results showed a larger than expected loss. On this news, Zix shares fell from an opening of $14.25 per share on May 4, 2004, to close at $8.89 per share on May 6, 2004.
If you purchased securities issued by Zix during the applicable period, you may request appointment by the court as a lead plaintiff if you do so by November 2, 2004. 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, the court must determine that your claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that you will adequately represent the class. Under certain circumstances, one or more class members may together serve as lead plaintiffs. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. You may retain any counsel of your choice to serve you in this action, or you may choose to do nothing, and remain in the class as a silent member.
