IMP, Inc.
Conclusion: According to the Order, dated August 26, 1998, by U.S. District Judge Spencer Williams, a settlement plan of allocation and the awarding of fees and expenses is approved. The case is dismissed.
In a Press Release dated 9/17/96, the complaint charges IMP and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the California Corporations, Civil and Business & Professions Codes. IMP is a supplier of analog and mixed signal CMOS integrated circuit solutions. Defendants' positive statements, primarily about the strong demand for and growing backlog of IMP's products, which would lead to strong earnings per share growth in Fiscal 1997, drove IMP's stock from less than $7 per share near the beginning of the Class Period to a Class Period high of $23-1/2 per share in early May 1996. This enabled eight of IMP's insiders to sell 1,196,200 shares of their IMP stock at artificially inflated prices as high as $22.31 per share between May 3, 1996 and May 24, 1996, pocketing over $23.7 million for themselves -- with most of IMP's insiders selling large portions of their holdings of IMP stock, immediately after exercising stock options to acquire the shares at just $.81-$2.25 per share -- thus obtaining large, risk-free profits from insider trading. However, shortly after IMP's insiders had completed their stock sales, it was exposed that poor sales of IMP's products, due to weak demand, would result in IMP suffering declining revenues and earnings, requiring the Company to restructure and fire over 10% of its employees, causing its stock to collapse back below $7 per share.
