On March 24, 2005, a class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court Southern District of California against Orange 21, Inc. The complaint alleges violations of federal securities laws, Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5, including allegations of issuing a series of material misrepresentations to the market which had the effect of artificially inflating the market price. The class period is from December 14, 2004 through December 14, 2004, during the Company's initial public offering.
Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of the Class. If you are a member of the Class as described above, you may move the Court no later than May 23, 2005, to serve as a lead plaintiff for the Class.
