According to the Complaint, it is alleged that in Proxy Statements issued by the Defendants, including the the April 19th Notice of Shareholders Annual meeting, (the “April 19th 2017 Proxy”) and the subsequent July 31, 2017 (the “July 2017 Proxy”), Defendants misrepresented material facts concerning (1) the true value of Broadsmart, which was acquired in early 2016, and was grossly impaired financially (2) the true future prospects of Broadsmart were misstated and inaccurate in an effort which, combined, allowed (3) the Individual Defendants to conceal material issues so that they could entrench themselves on magicJack’s Board of Director's and (4) plunder the company by manipulating facts to obtain unwarranted compensation in connection with their attempt to sell the Company and extract compensation which, but for the misstatements of the combined Proxy Statements would not have been possible.

On November 8, 2017, the Court issued an Order appointing Lead Plaintiff and Counsel. Lead Plaintiff filed an amended Complaint on January 2, 2018.
