Zwerling, Schachter & Zwerling, LLP announced today that it has distributed settlement checks to Telxon Corporation Shareholders who filed valid claims in the securities class action Hayman v. Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP, No. 1:01 CV 1078 (N.D. Ohio) ("PwC"). The settlement fund in the PwC action totaled $27.9 million, and was in addition to the $40 million settlement previously reached in the related action In re Telxon Corporation Securities Litigation, No. 5:98 CV 2876 (N.D. Ohio). The two actions alleged that Defendants’ material false and misleading statements artificially inflated the price of Telxon securities, and that, as a consequence, purchasers of Telxon securities suffered damages.
As a result of the combined $67.9 million settlement, Telxon Shareholders who filed valid claims recovered between $0.30 and $0.74 per dollar of their recognized loss, an outstanding recovery. Settlement of these securities fraud class actions would not have been possible without the unrelenting efforts of lawyers at the Zwerling Schachter law firm.
