The class action lawsuit was filed allegeing violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. On June 14, 2000, Rediff commenced an IPO of 4.6 million of its ADSs at an offering price of $12 per share. In connection therewith, Rediff filed a registration statement, which incorporated a prospectus (the "Prospectus"), with the SEC. The complaint alleges that the Prospectus was materially false and misleading because it failed to disclose, among other things, that: (i) Rediff's advertising client base was composed primarily of startups, while the Prospectus listed internationally known and well-heeled companies as "representative" of its advertising clients; (ii) prior to the IPO, Rediff had experienced significant problems with its email software systems which hindered its ability to attract viewers and advertisers to its Internet portal; (iii) a significant number of advertising contracts would terminate by December 2000, and (iv) the Prospectus stated that defendant Li had graduated from Stanford University, when he had not. On March 22, 2001, Rediff issued a press release announcing that revenue for its fourth fiscal quarter of 2001 would decline by 30%-35% from the prior quarter's sales. Also on March 22, 2001, it was reported that defendant Li had not graduated from Stanford University. On May 3, 2001, the price of Rediff ADSs closed at $3.12 -- a 74% decline from its IPO price of $12 per ADS.
