Juniper Networks, Inc. Summary: The original complaint charges Juniper Networks and its top executive officers and directors violated the federal securities laws by failing to account properly for stock options made to Juniper Networks employees. The complaint charges that Juniper Networks improperly expensed stock options, thereby falsely inflating the company's reported financial performance.
According to the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2008, on July 14, 2006 and August 29, 2006, two purported class actions were filed in the Northern District of California against the Company and certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors. On November 20, 2006, the Court consolidated the two actions as In re Juniper Networks, Inc. Securities Litigation, No. C06-04327-JW, and appointed the New York City Pension Funds as lead plaintiffs. The lead plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Class Action Complaint on January 12, 2007, and filed an Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint on April 9, 2007. The Amended Consolidated Complaint alleges that the defendants violated federal securities laws by manipulating stock option grant dates to coincide with low stock prices and issuing false and misleading statements including, among others, incorrect financial statements due to the improper accounting of stock option grants. The Amended Consolidated Complaint asserts claims for violations of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Juniper Networks’ publicly traded securities from July 12, 2001, through and including August 10, 2006. On June 7, 2007, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss certain of the claims, and a hearing was held on September 10, 2007. On March 31, 2008, the Court issued an order granting in part and denying in part the defendants’ motion to dismiss. The order dismissed with prejudice plaintiffs’ section 10(b) claim to the extent it was based on challenged statements made before July 14, 2001. The order also dismissed, with leave to amend plaintiffs’ section 10(b) claim against Pradeep Sindhu. The order upheld all of plaintiffs’ remaining claims. The order gave plaintiffs until May 1, 2008, to file an amended complaint. Plaintiffs chose not to amend their complaint. Defendants filed their answer on June 23, 2008.
On January 23, 2009, the defendants filed a motion for summary judgment which was denied as premature by a February 4, 2009 order. On February 12, 2009, the lead plaintiffs filed a motion for partial summary judgment against Defendant Juniper Networks, Inc. On February 20, 2009, Judge James Ware denied the plaintiffs' motion for partial summary judgment as premature.
