Cauley Geller Bowman & Coates, LLP Announces Class Action Lawsuit Against Onyx Software Corporation on Behalf of Investors -- ONXS


LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Sept. 21, 2001 (PRIMEZONE) -- The Law Firm of Cauley Geller Bowman & Coates, LLP announced today that a class action has been filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington on behalf of purchasers of Onyx Software Corporation ("Onyx" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:ONXS) publicly traded securities, including those who purchased stock pursuant to Onyx's secondary stock offering in February 2001, during the period between January 10, 2001 and April 3, 2001, inclusive (the "Class Period"). A copy of the complaint filed in this action is available from the Court, or can be viewed on the firm's Website at http://www.classlawyer.com/pr/onyx.pdf.

The complaint charges Onyx and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Onyx is a supplier of customer relationship management enterprise applications that are designed to connect a company's sales, marketing and service organizations with customers, prospects and partners. On Jan. 19, 2001, Onyx announced the acquisition of Revenue Lab and, after the close of the market, hosted a conference call to discuss the acquisition and the Company's business and prospects. Later, Onyx reported favorable, but false, financial results. The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, Onyx made misleading statements about its business and issued false and misleading financial results, causing its stock to be artificially inflated. As a result of this inflation, Onyx was able to complete a secondary offering of 2.5 million shares at $13.50 per share, raising net proceeds of $31.5 million on Feb. 7, 2001.

Then, on April 3, 2001, just weeks after this offering was completed, Onyx revealed that its first Q01 results would be sharply lower than the market had been led to expect with revenues of only $26-27 million and a large loss. The stock dropped below $3 per share on this news. Later, on Aug. 10, 2001, after the market closed, defendants revealed that Onyx's fourth Q00 results had been materially misstated and would have to be restated. After this announcement, Onyx's stock price dropped to as low as $3.70 on August 13, 2001 compared to the Class Period high of $17.25.

If you bought the securities of Onyx between January 10, 2001 and April 3, 2001 inclusive, and you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than Oct. 29, 2001.
