On March 11, 2008, a motion to appoint certain individual as lead plaintiff and to appoint Abraham Fruchter & Twersky LLP as lead counsel was filed. As a result, on March 14, 2007, the Court granted motion to name a certain individual as Lead Plaintiff and appointing Abraham Fruchter & Twersky LLP as Lead Counsel. An Amended Class Action Complaint For Violation Of Federal Securities Law was filed on March 24, 2008. On April 3, 2008, an order denying the motion for undertaking and directing amendment of the caption was denied as moot. The defendant filed motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint on April 25, 2008, which is currently pending before the court.
According to a press release dated January 11, 2008, a class action commenced on behalf of a class of all persons who purchased the common stock of Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. in the Company' s initial public offering ("IPO"), which commenced on May 4, 2007, through July 5, 2007. The claims asserted arise under Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. 00A7,Sect. 00A7,Sect. 77k and 77l(a)(2), and have been asserted against Interactive Brokers.
Specifically, the complaint alleges that the Defendant made materially misleading statements and otherwise failed to disclose that it had incurred material trading losses at the time of the IPO and that its proprietary pricing model was unable to prevent such material trading losses. The subsequent disclosure of these facts after the close of trading on July 5, 2007 resulted in the price of the Company's common stock declining, causing Plaintiff and the other members of the Class to suffer damages.
