Update in Lawsuit for Investors in CommVault Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CVLT) shares announced by Shareholders Foundation

SAN DIEGO, May 23, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Shareholders Foundation, Inc. announces that a lawsuit is pending in New Jersey  on behalf of certain purchasers of shares of CommVault Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CVLT) over alleged Securities Laws Violations by CommVault Systems.

Investors who purchased shares of CommVault Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CVLT) prior to May 2013 and continue to hold any of those NASDAQ:CVLT shares have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation at mail@shareholdersfoundation.com or call +1(858) 779 - 1554.

The plaintiff claimed that the defendants allegedly misrepresented CommVault Systems, Inc.'s revenue growth by booking and subsequently recognizing deferred software licensing revenue to mask slowing revenue growth, while at the same time denying that revenue growth was in fact decelerating, that CommVault Systems, Inc. misrepresented that it was increasing investments in its sales force and hiring more sales employees in order to continue to drive growth through fiscal year 2014 and beyond, and that as a result of these alleged misrepresentations, CommVault Systems, Inc. stock traded at allegedly artificially inflated prices between May 15, 2013 and April 24, 2014.

On April 25, 2014, CommVault Systems, Inc. announced that its fiscal fourth quarter profit dropped significantly as a result of significant deceleration in revenue growth. The plaintiff claims that despite the Company's prior representations that deferred revenue was a poor indicator of growth, without the ability to recognize deferred software licensing revenue, CommVault Systems, Inc. could no longer conceal the revenue growth deceleration it had been experiencing and that CommVault Systems, Inc. also revealed that its financial results were negatively impacted, in large part, by inadequate staffing of sales and marketing personnel. Shares of CommVault Systems, Inc. declined from as high as $88.86 per share in October 2013 to $47.56 per share on April 25, 2014. In March an amended complaint was filed and in May 2015 the defendants filed their motion to dismiss the case. In December 2015 the court granted the defendants' motion to dismiss with leave to amend and in February 2016 the plaintiff filed a second amended complaint.

Those who purchased shares of CommVault Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CVLT) prior to May 2013 and continue to hold any of those NASDAQ:CVLT shares have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation, Inc. by e-mail at mail@shareholdersfoundation.com or call +1 (858) 779-1554.
