Deadline: December 08, 2009. Those RHIE investors should contact the Shareholders Foundation, Inc at email: mail(at)shareholdersfoundation.com or at: +1 (858) 779 - 1554. According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges that RHI Entertainment and certain of its executives violated the Securities Act of 1933 issuing numerous positive statements regarding its financial condition, business and prospects. On or about June 13, 2008, RHI Entertainment filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a Form S-1/A Registration Statement for the IPO. On or about June 19, 2008, the Prospectus with respect to the IPO, which forms part of the Registration Statement, became effective and, including the exercise of the over-allotment, more than 13.5 million shares of RHI’s common stock were sold to the public, thereby raising more than $189 million. The plaintiff alleges that the description of RHI Entertainment’s business in the Registration Statement created the materially misleading impression that at the time of the IPO RHI Entertainment had orders for 40 MFT movies and mini-series which had been paid for, were in production and would be delivered in the later half of the year. The complaint further alleges that these statements were materially false and misleading because defendants failed to disclose that, given the declining state of the credit markets and other negative factors then impacting the Company’s business, the Company would not be able to complete 40 MFT movies and miniseries in 2008.
