BOSTON, MA -- October 3, 2002 -- A class action suit alleging securities fraud has been filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts against Credit Suisse First Boston, a division of Credit Suisse Group (NYSE: CSR), ("Credit Suisse" or the "Company") and two of its technology analysts by the law firm of Shapiro Haber & Urmy LLP.

The case was filed on behalf of all persons who purchased common stock of Razorfish, Inc. (NASDAQ: RAZF) during the period from June 14, 1999 through July 20, 2001 (the "Class Period").

The complaint alleges that the defendants violated section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("the Exchange Act"), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, by issuing a series of favorable research reports on Razorfish that were materially false or misleading in that they did not disclose conflicts of interest of Credit Suisse, and in particular the practice of Credit Suisse to gain lucrative investment banking business in part by providing coverage and issuing favorable research reports on prospective investment banking customers. According to news reports, an investigation conducted by the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts uncovered "very troubling" internal Credit Suisse materials that "suggest . . . a pattern of breach of fiduciary duty" and which appear to have "treated investors like suckers". According to another news report, the Secretary of State has suggested that criminal charges be filed against Credit Suisse over its fraudulent stock research coverage.

Shapiro Haber & Urmy anticipates that it will be filing similar class action complaints on behalf of investors in the following companies, which were also the subject of favorable research reports by Credit Suisse. These companies include the following:
