Report Fraud
Case ID: 4981 | Stocks | 04/02/2007

Kahn Gauthier Swick, LLC ("KGS") announces that shareholders of U.S. Auto Parts Network, Inc. ("U.S. Auto Parts") who purchased shares of the Company in connection with its February 9, 2007 Initial Public Offering ("IPO") or who purchased shares thereafter in the open market, may now move for appointment as Lead Plaintiff in a securities class action lawsuit currently pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California.

UNTIL A CLASS IS CERTIFIED, YOU ARE NOT PERSONALLY REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL UNLESS YOU RETAIN AN ATTORNEY.

Background

U.S. Auto Parts, its Underwriters Thomas Weisel Partners, Piper Jaffray & Co., JMP Securities and RBC Capital Markets Corp., and each member of its Board of Directors are charged with including false and misleading statements in the registration statement and proxy-prospectus issued in connection with the IPO in direct violation of the Securities Act of 1933. Specifically, defendants each failed to reveal that, at that time of the IPO, the integration of PartsBin was not proceeding according to plan and that sales were being adversely affected as a result thereof.

It was only on March 20, 2007, after the close of trading -- and after defendants and other Company insiders liquidated $35 million of their personally held shares in connection with the IPO -- that U.S. Auto Parts revealed the truth about U.S. Auto Parts, including that the problems that existed at the time of the IPO would result in extremely disappointing results for the fourth quarter 2006.

On this news, U.S. Auto Parts' stock price collapsed in one day from $11.07 per share, the prior day, to close at $6.49 per share on March 21, 2007 -- a single-day decline of almost 50%.

If you purchased shares of U.S. Auto Parts in connection with the IPO or if you purchased shares thereafter in the open market you are urged to contact Lewis Kahn, Managing Partner, KGS, toll free 1-866-467-1400, ext. 106, via cell phone at 504-301-7900, or by email at lewis.kahn@kgscounsel.com to learn about your legal rights and how this action may benefit you.
