Item 8.01 Other Events
On January 16, 2008, a putative securities class action captionedWatkins v. ShoreTel, Inc., et al., was filed against ShoreTel, the members of its Board of Directors, certain of its executive officers and the underwriters of its initial public offering in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges violations of Section 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. The complaint seeks unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of ShoreTel’s common stock in its initial public offering on July 3, 2007.
ShoreTel believes that it has meritorious defenses to this lawsuit and intends to defend the litigation vigorously. ShoreTel anticipates that additional similar complaints may be filed in the future and ShoreTel does not intend to make future announcements regarding this or similar litigation, except as required in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Annual Reports on Form 10-K.
