STEVENSON, Md., Feb. 21, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of purchasers of Gigamon Inc. (NYSE:GIMO) (“Gigamon” or the “Company”) securities during the period between October 27, 2016 and January 17, 2017, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Investors who wish to become proactively involved in the litigation have until March 28, 2017 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff.
If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the Class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff and be selected by the Court. The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement for the Class in the action. The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in Gigamon securities during the Class Period. Members of the Class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff. No class has yet been certified in the above action.
The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the defendants’ failure to disclose during the Class Period that Gigamon was experiencing reduced product bookings in its North America West region, that several of the Company’s significant customers were deferring purchasing decisions into 2017, and the Company failed to properly include these trends in its financial guidance.
According to the complaint, following a January 17, 2017 announcement that the fourth quarter revenue was below the prior guidance because of lower than expected product bookings in the North America West region and due to customers deferring purchasing decisions, the value of Gigamon shares declined significantly.
If you have suffered a loss in excess of $100,000 from investment in Gigamon securities purchased on or after October 27, 2016 and held through the revelation of negative information during and/or at the end of the Class Period and would like to learn more about this lawsuit and your ability to participate as a lead plaintiff, without cost or obligation to you, please visit our website at http://www.browerpiven.com/currentsecuritiescases.html.
