NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - September 4, 2008) - Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC announces
that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of Michigan against Reddy Ice Holdings, Inc.
("Reddy Ice" or the "Company") (NYSE : FRZ ) and various individuals on
behalf of purchasers of Reddy Ice who purchased common stock between August
10, 2005 and August 6, 2008 (the "Class Period").
According to the complaint, the true facts, which were known by the
defendants but concealed from the investing public during the Class Period,
were as follows: (1) that the Company had engaged, and continued to engage,
in illicit business practices with its competitors in the packaged ice
industry; (2) that the company had joined with its competitors in the
packaged ice industry in colluding and agreeing to allocate territories and
customers in the United States' packaged ice market; (3) that the Company
had agreed with competitors in the industry to fix, raise, maintain and
stabilize prices for packaged ice in the United States market; (4) that the
Company's revenues had been significantly increased through the use of such
illicit business practices; (5) that, as a result, the Company's financial
statements were false and misleading at all relevant times; (6) that such
illicit business practices, when they were revealed, would initiate an
investigation by the federal authorities into the Company's business
practices; (7) that the Company lacked adequate internal and financial
controls; and (8) that, as a result of the foregoing, the Company's
statements about its financial well-being and future business prospects
were lacking in any reasonable basis.
