The complaint alleges that Defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. Specifically, the complaint alleges that Defendants made a series of materially false and misleading statements or failed to disclose certain adverse facts, including; (1) problems associated with the implementation of the Company’s enterprise resource management system; (2) that Defendants had overstated Powerwave’s profitability and understated its expenses and acquisition integration costs; (3) that the Company did not have adequate internal controls; and, (4) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants lacked any reasonable basis to claim that Powerwave was operating according to plan and could achieve financial guidance issued by Defendants. On October 9, 2006, Powerwave announced preliminary financial results for the third quarter of 2006. The press release announced that the Company expected revenue for the quarter to be in the range of $155 million to $160 million, approximately $50 million below the Company’s previous guidance. In reaction to the news, shares of Powerwave fell from $7.79 per share to $6.41 per share, a decline of approximately 17.7%.
