NEW ORLEANS, April 19, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Kahn Gauthier Swick, LLC ("KGS") announces that it is investigating the financial losses suffered by employees and former employees of Zale Corporation (NYSE:ZLC) who participated in the company's 401(k) plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").
Zale Corporation and its ERISA Plan administrators may have violated the law and breached important duties of trust and prudence owed to Plan participants. Zale employees' 401(k) accounts may have been weighted too heavily with Zale stock. Further, these accounts may have been overly invested in Zale stock during the time Zale shares declined significantly in value, thereby resulting in excessive losses for Zale employees.
If you are a former Zale employee who participated in Zale's 401(k) Account Plan and are interested in protecting the value of your investment, you are encouraged to e-mail or call KGS, without obligation or cost to you. You may contact Lewis Kahn of KGS toll free 1-866-467-1400, ext. 100, via cell phone at 504-301-7900, or by email at lewis.kahn@kglg.com.
KGS has significant experience litigating ERISA actions, and we are paid a fee if and only if we obtain a recovery.
