Case ID: 5122 | Stocks | 07/21/2008
According to a law firm press release dated June 12, 2008 a class action has been commenced on behalf of an institutional investor on behalf of U.S. citizens who purchased the publicly traded stock of European Aeronautic Defence & Space Co. ("EADS" or the "Company") on the Frankfurt (Frankfurt: EAD.F), Madrid (Mercado Continuo: EAD.MC) and/or Paris (Paris: EAD.PA) stock exchanges.
The complaint charges EADS and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Exchange Act. The Company manufactures airplanes and military equipment. The Company produces commercial aircrafts, including the various Airbus models, military fighter aircrafts, military and commercial helicopters, missiles, satellites, and telecommunications and defense systems. The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, EADS falsely assured the investing public that it would overcome the technical problems in the production of the Company's Airbus A380 commercial jets ("A380") and it would be able to meet its year-end delivery deadlines. Moreover, the Company issued numerous positive statements which described the Company's increasing financial performance. According to the complaint, these statements were materially false and misleading because they failed to disclose and misrepresented the following adverse facts, among others: (i) that the Company was experiencing insurmountable delays in the manufacture of the A380 commercial jet; (ii) that the Company would be required to compensate its customers for these delays through discounts and certain customers would likely be canceling their entire orders; and (iii) that, as a result of the foregoing, the Company's ability to receive new contract awards from commercial airliners and its ability to reap future revenues at the levels that it was projecting would be in serious doubt. On June 13, 2006, the Company announced that its Airbus subsidiary was having production problems with the A380 commercial jet, which would cause a significant delay in delivery to its customers. The Company also issued a profit warning beyond 2006 which was attributable to these delays and announced that it anticipated annual shortfalls of EUR 500 million, without taking into account possible contract terminations from existing customers. Upon this announcement, shares of EADS fell EUR 6.69 per share, or 26%, to close at EUR 18.73 per share, on unusually heavy trading volume.

Other Stocks Cases of Interest According to a law firm press release, the complaint alleges that defendants solicited investors to purchase shares of the Intermediate Fund by making statements in its registration statement and subsequent supplemental prospectuses that described the Fund's objective as one that "seeks a high level of current income while preserving principal by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of debt securities with a dollar-weighted average maturity between three and ten years." Moreover, the registration statement represented that the investment objective of the Intermediate Fund was to invest "at least 80% of its total assets in debt instruments" and to invest in "debt instruments rated investment grade or better."
