BACKDATED STOCK OPTIONS
 

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

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

Regarding HealthSouth, as reported in The Wall Street Journal, "Former CEO Richard Scrushy repeatedly received stock options dated at low points in the company's stock price, a Journal review of securities filings showed, raising questions about the company's options-granting practices. Mr. Scrushy denies any backdating occured, and the company said it has "left the investigation of criminal and possible criminal activities at HealthSouth to the relevant authorities. The new management and the new board continue to cooperate thoroughly in these matters.""

If you are a current stockholder in HealthSouth and would like to learn about your legal rights in seeking to remedy improper options backdating at the company, please click here or call 800-287-8119 to contact our paralegal, Victoria Bird.  Our initial consultation and case assessment will be done at no charge or obligation to you.

Haber and Michelle H. Blauner, our firm has already filed numerous cases, in both state and federal courts, concerning the improper backdating of stock options granted to officers, directors, and executives who appear to have used backdated stock options to create for themselves tens, or even hundreds, of millions of dollars in profit and unrealized gain at the direct expense of their corporations.
