Attunity: Decision in Litigation Announced
Monday March 31, 9:09 am ET
WAKEFIELD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 31, 2003--Attunity Ltd. (Nasdaq: ATTU -
News), a leading provider of standards-based integration middleware for
accessing mainframe, enterprise data sources and legacy applications, announced
today that on Friday March 28, 2003, a jury in New York had entered a verdict
against the Company and in favor of the Special Situations Funds awarding
damages in the amount of approximately $603,000, plus interest and costs. The
lawsuit dealt with a technical issue relating to the Funds right to have the
shares they purchased in a private placement in October 2001 registered for
resale by December 31, 2001 and their right to receive liquidated damages in the
event of a delay in the registration of their shares. The registration statement
permitting the resale of their shares was declared effective on a later date.
The Company believes that it demonstrated at trial that the delay was caused by
the Funds and accordingly, the Company should not be held liable for the delay
and the Funds should not be rewarded for their delaying actions. The Company and
its counsel disagree with the decision and the Company intends to assess the
viability of an appeal with its legal advisors.
