Case Status:    DISMISSED  
—On or around 04/08/2011 (Stipulation and order of dismissal (voluntary dismissal))
Current/Last Presiding Judge:  
Hon. Jeremy Fogel

Filing Date: January 18, 2011

Lasercard Corporation is a global company that provides secure identity solutions (IDs) to governments and commercial clients.

According to the Complaint filed January 18, 2011, on December 20, 2010, the LaserCard Board of Directors announced that the Company had entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger Agreement") that contemplates that Purchaser, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ASSA, will acquire the Company for $6.25 per share in cash, for a total value of approximately $80 million (the "Transaction").

Upon consummation of the Transaction, LaserCard will become part of ASSA ABLOY'S HID Global business.

In connection with the proposed transaction, the individual Defendants filed a materially false and misleading Schedule 14D-9 recommending that the public shareholders of LaserCard tender their shares in the offer, in breach of the individual Defendants' fiduciary duties to the Company's shareholders both with respect to price and process. The Merger Agreement will also significantly benefit certain LaserCard insiders to the detriment of Plaintiff and the Class.

On March 21, 2011, the Court issued an order relating similar cases to the main action.

On April 8, 2011, the Court dismissed this case without prejudice, with all parties waiving all rights of appeal by Stipulation of the parties.
