GLRS Files Class Action Lawsuit Against Ibis Technology Corp.
NEW YORK (BUSINESS WIRE) – January 8, 2004 - Goodkind Labaton Rudoff & Sucharow LLP filed a class action lawsuit on January 8, 2004 in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, on behalf of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired publicly traded securities of Ibis Technology Corp. ("Ibis" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: IBIS) between October 2, 2003 and December 12, 2003, inclusive, (the "Class Period"). The lawsuit was filed against Ibis and Martin J. Reid.
If you are a member of this class you can view a copy of the complaint and join this class action online.
The complaint alleges that Defendants issued a series of material misrepresentations to the market during the Class Period concerning Ibis’ new generation SIMOX-SOI implanter. Specifically, Ibis had indicated that the company had several orders from Japanese manufacturers for tits implanting machines, which are individually sell for approximately $8 million each and that these orders would close prior to December 31, 2003.
Then on December 15, 2003, Defendants filed a Form 8-K with the SEC admitting there would be no sales of the i2000 implanters to Japanese wafer manufacturers and that they now predicted that they expected to receive an order for one implanter sometime in 2004. Additionally, Defendants further admitted that they would record a "material charge" due to the impairment of its smaller production size equipment.
