NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Brualdi Law Firm, P.C. announces that a lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of purchasers of Anadigics, Inc. ("Anadigics" or "the Company") (Nasdaq:ANAD) common stock during the period between July 25, 2007 and February 12, 2008 (the "Class Period") for violations of federal securities laws.
No class has yet been certified in the above action. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. If you purchased Anadigics common stock during the Class Period, and wish to move the court for appointment of lead plaintiff, you must do so by January 12, 2009. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in the Company during the Class Period. You do not need to seek appointment as a lead plaintiff in order to share in any recovery.
To be a member of the class you need not take any action at this time, and you may retain counsel of your choice.

The complaint alleges that the representations contained in Anadigics' press releases, SEC filings, conference calls and presentations during the Class Period were materially false and misleading when made because they failed to disclose that: (i) the Company was experiencing manufacturing inefficiencies associated with increased production levels and would not be able to meet its stated guidance; (ii) the Company was at risk of losing customers due to its inability to meet demand; and (iii) as a result of the foregoing, defendants lacked a reasonable basis for their positive statements about the Company and its prospects.
On February 12, 2008, Anadigics announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and year-end 2007. Following this announcement, the price of Anadigics common stock dropped from $10.36 per share to $8.86 per share, on extremely heavy trading volume.
