HARTFORD, Conn., Aug. 22, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- The law firm of Schatz Nobel Izard P.C., which has significant experience representing investors in prosecuting claims of securities fraud, announces that a lawsuit seeking class action status has been filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on behalf of all persons who purchased the securities of Radian Group Inc. ("Radian") (NYSE:RDN) between January 23, 2007 and July 31, 2007, inclusive (the "Class Period").
The Complaint charges that Radian, its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer violated federal securities laws by making false and misleading statements regarding its Credit Based Asset Servicing and Securitization ("C-BASS") affiliate and, specifically, C-BASS investments in the credit risk of subprime single family residential mortgages.
If you are a member of the class, you may, no later than October 15, 2007, request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff of the class. A lead plaintiff is a class member that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Although your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision whether or not to seek appointment as a lead plaintiff, lead plaintiffs make important decisions which could affect the overall recovery for class members, including decisions concerning settlement. The securities laws require the Court to consider the class member(s) with the largest financial interest as presumptively the most adequate lead plaintiff(s).
