NEW YORK, Aug. 12, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- This notice is being issued to clarify investor uncertainty as to whether a class action lawsuit has been filed. On August 8, 2005, Murray, Frank & Sailer LLP issued a notice announcing that it had filed a lawsuit against Host America (Nasdaq:CAFE) arising out of Host America's issuance of a press release on July 12, 2005 (http://www.murrayfrank.com/CM/NewCases/NewCases280.asp ). Shortly thereafter, several notices were issued by other law firms "announcing" that a class action had been filed concerning Host America. As a result of the notices issued by other firms, a number of investors have contacted Murray, Frank & Sailer LLP over uncertainty as to whether a complaint has actually been filed. This release is to clarify that a complaint was filed against Host America on August 8, 2005, by Murray, Frank & Sailer LLP. This was the first class action lawsuit filed in this matter. The file-stamped copy of the complaint can be reviewed at http://www.murrayfrank.com/CM/NewCases/host%20stamped%20complaint%20website.pdf
If you purchased or otherwise acquired Host America securities on any exchange between July 12, 2005 and July 22, 2005, and sustained damages, you may, no later than October 7, 2005, move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff. Shareholders outside the United States may also join the action, regardless of which exchange was used to purchase the securities. To serve as lead plaintiff, however, you must meet certain legal requirements. You can join this class action as lead plaintiff online at http://www.murrayfrank.com/CM/NewCases/NewCases.asp. If you would like to discuss this action, this announcement, or your rights and interests, please contact plaintiff's counsel Eric J. Belfi, Christopher S. Hinton or Bradley P. Dyer of Murray, Frank & Sailer LLP.
