CORRECTION (9/21):Metrologic Sued Over Its Acquisition By Grp
12:50 PM EDT September 22, 2006


Metrologic Instruments Inc. (MTLG) said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday that lawsuits filed against it alleging breach of fiduciary duty relate to its acquisition by a group of investors led by Francisco Partners.
The Francisco Partners deal, which values Metrologic shares at $18.50 each, was announced Sept. 12.
(In the story "Metrologic: 2 Shareholder Suits Filed Against Co." published at 5:02 p.m. EDT Thursday, it was incorrectly stated that the lawsuits involved a separate deal by Metrologic to sell its Adaptive Optics Associates Inc. to Essex Corp. Background information on the Adaptive Optics deal was inappropriately included in the story.)
