BACKDATED STOCK OPTIONS
 

Shapiro Haber & Urmy LLP Now Investigating Stock Options Backdating Practices By Analog Devices

Shapiro Haber & Urmy LLP is currently investigating stock options backdating practices at over 100 companies, including Analog Devices.

Regarding Analog Devices, as reported in The Wall Street Journal, "Analog Devices said May 24 it had received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York requesting records related to stock options. The Norwood, Mass., semiconductor maker said the request is for records dating from the year 2000 to the present. Analog Devices reached a tentative settlement with the SEC in November 2005 related to grants. The company said it believes the options being investigated by the U.S. Attorney are the same ones looked at by the SEC.”
