Abraham, Fruchter & Twersky, LLP Files Class Action Suit Against Inverness Medical Innovations Inc.
| Source: Abraham, Fruchter & Twersky, LLP
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - April 11, 2008) - Abraham, Fruchter & Twersky, LLP filed a class
action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of
Massachusetts on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of Inverness
Medical Innovations Inc. ("Inverness Medical" or the "Company") (AMEX : IMA )
in the Company's secondary public offering on or about November 14, 2007
(the "Class Period").
The complaint charges the Company and certain of its officers and directors
with violations of the Securities Act. Inverness Medical engages in the
development, manufacture, and marketing of consumer and professional
medical diagnostic products, as well as a range of vitamins and nutritional
supplements worldwide.
According to the complaint, on or about November 14, 2007, the Prospectus
supplement to the Registration Statement (the "Registration Statement")
with respect to the Secondary Offering, which forms part of the
Registration Statement, became effective and more than 12 million shares of
Inverness Medical common stock were sold to the public at $61.49 per share,
thereby raising more than $737 million. The complaint alleges that the
Registration Statement negligently failed to disclose the significant and
severe integration issues that the Company was then experiencing and which
were then impacting the Company's continuing operations.
Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of Inverness
Medical's common stock during the Class Period (the "Class"). The Plaintiff
is represented by Abraham, Fruchter & Twersky, LLP which has extensive
experience in securities class action cases, having been ranked among the
leading class action law firms in terms of recoveries achieved by a survey
of class action law firms conducted by Institutional Shareholder Services.
