BACKDATED STOCK OPTIONS
 

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

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

Regarding Microtune, as reported in The Wall Street Journal, "The Plano, Texas, maker of radio frequency products for broadband communications applications said on Sept. 20 that its audit committee has reached the preliminary conclusion that the actual accounting measurement data for certain past stock option grants differed from the stated dates of the grants previously used for its accounting purposes. The company said the difference in the measurement dates will result in "non-cash, stock-based compensation charges that were not recorded in the appropriate period.""

If you are a current stockholder in Microtune 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, Sophie Horowitz.  Our initial consultation and case assessment will be done at no charge or obligation to you.

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.
