Milberg LLP Announces Its Investigation on Behalf of Certain
Investors of GT Solar International, Inc. -- SOLR
NEW YORK, NY, Aug 26, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) --
Attorney Advertising. The law firm of Milberg LLP is investigating
possible illegal conduct as alleged in proposed class action lawsuits
filed in the United States District Court for the District of New
Hampshire against GT Solar International, Inc. ("GT Solar" or the
"Company") (NASDAQ: SOLR) and certain of GT Solar's officers and
directors for violations of the Securities Act of 1933. The lawsuits
are brought on behalf of all purchasers of common stock pursuant or
traceable to the company's registration statement and prospectus
(collectively, the "Registration Statement") issued in connection
with its July 23, 2008 initial public offering ("IPO").
GT Solar and its subsidiaries provide manufacturing equipment to the
solar power industry.
According to the complaints, on July 23, 2008, GT Solar accomplished
its IPO of 30.3 million shares at $16.50 per share for net proceeds of
$500 million, pursuant to the Registration Statement (the "Offering").
The proceeds from the Offering went to GT Solar Holdings, LLC ("GT
Solar Holdings"). GT Solar Holdings intended to use the net proceeds
it received via the Offering to make a distribution to its
shareholders. In its first day of trading, GT Solar closed at $14.59
per share on July 24, 2008.
The following day, on July 25, 2008, before the market opened, LDK
Solar Co., LTD ("LDK"), GT Solar's largest customer, issued a press
release announcing that it had signed a contract to purchase
production equipment from one of GT Solar's competitors. On this
news, GT Solar's stock price declined to as low as $9.30 per share
before closing at $12.59 per share on July 25, 2008, losing 13% of
its value in its second day of trading.
According to the complaint, the Registration Statement failed to
disclose the true extent of the risks surrounding the Company's
relationship with LDK, including the fact that the Company was at
imminent risk of losing out on a contract for future orders from LDK
due to delays in shipping production equipment to LDK.
If you purchased GT Solar common stock prior to July 25, 2008, you
may be entitled to move the Court no later than September 30, 2008,
and request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. A lead
plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class
members in directing the litigation. To be appointed lead plaintiff,
the Court must decide that your claim is typical of the claims of
other class members, and that you will adequately represent the
class. Your share in any recovery will not be enhanced or diminished
by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. You may
retain Milberg LLP, or other attorneys, to serve as your counsel in
this action.
