The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the Company's failure to disclose during the Class Period that the Company's accounting for rebates associated with volume discounts provided by vendors was improper and misleading and that the Company's financial statements during the Class Period did not provide a fair presentation of the Company's finances and operations. According to the complaint, after, on June 11, 2012, the Company announced that an internal investigation of the audit committee of the Company's board of directors determined that "certain client contracts have not been aligned consistently with ModusLink's practice of retaining volume discounts" identified instances where "vendor costs incurred were marked-up to clients in a manner not consistent with client contracts" the value of ModusLink shares declined significantly.

If you choose to retain counsel, you may retain Brower Piven without financial obligation or cost to you, or you may retain other counsel of your choice. You need take no action at this time to be a member of the class.
