Majesco Reaches Agreements to Settle Securities Litigation
EDISON, NJ, October 18, 2007 — Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL), an innovative provider of video games and digital entertainment products for the mass market, announced it has reached agreements to settle certain litigations pending in the United States District Court, District of New Jersey: a securities class action brought on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of Majesco securities, a private securities action filed by Trinad Capital Master Fund, Ltd., and a second action filed by Trinad purportedly on behalf of the company.
As part of the settlement process, Majesco denied it acted improperly and stated it was settling these matters in order to eliminate the uncertainty, expense and distraction of further protracted litigation.
Under the terms of the settlement agreement in the securities class action, which is subject to notice to the shareholder class and court approval, Majesco’s insurance carrier will make a cash payment and the company will contribute shares of its common stock with a market value of approximately $2.5 million. The shares will be distributed to the settlement class if and when the court grants final approval to the settlement and the settlement becomes effective. As previously announced, in its second quarter ended April 30, 2007, the company recorded a $2.5 million charge for the settlement, representing the expected value of the securities to be paid to the plaintiffs. Plaintiffs’ attorney fees will be paid from the settlement amount.
The settlement of the private securities claim in the action brought by Trinad on its own behalf provides that Majesco’s insurance carrier will make a cash payment to Trinad, subject to final approval of the class action settlement by the Court.
The settlement agreement in the action filed by Trinad, purportedly on behalf of the company, will not result in a payment to the company. Plaintiff’s attorneys will not receive any fees in connection with the settlement. As a result of the filing of this lawsuit by Trinad, Majesco has taken actions which it and Trinad believe will benefit Majesco shareholders and address some of the issues raised in the lawsuit. This settlement is also subject to notice to the company’s shareholders and to court approval.
The company believes it is in its best interest to resolve these claims, in order to enable management to focus all of its efforts on executing its strategy and creating greater value for shareholders.
