August 13, 2007 - An investor in shares of Limelight Networks Inc (NASDAQ: LLNW) filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Limelight Networks Inc over alleged violations of Federal Securities Laws in connection with certain allegedly false and misleading statements made between June 8, 2007 and August 8, 2007.
The Complaint alleges that defendants, including the Company's top executives and the co-lead underwriters of its IPO, negligently violated the federal securities laws by issuing a Prospectus in connection with its June 8, 2007 initial public offering ( IPO ) that was materially misleading regarding adverse business events that were affecting the Company, including: (a) that revenues were suffering due to greater reliance on television-related sales, which are seasonal; and (b) that Limelight Networks was being forced to resort to deep discounting its services in order to attract and maintain customers for its premier services because of those customers' resistance to paying adequate prices, a development that will impact the Company's June 30, 2007 quarter, and will continue to adversely impact the Company going forward. When the truth about these matters was revealed, Limelight Networks shares dropped substantially.
