Schatz & Nobel, P.C. Announces Class Action Lawsuit Against
Visteon Corp.
HARTFORD, Conn., Feb. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- The law firm of Schatz & Nobel, P.C.,
which has significant experience representing investors in prosecuting claims
of securities fraud, announces that a lawsuit seeking class action status has
been filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Michigan on behalf of all persons who purchased the publicly traded securities
of Visteon Corp. (NYSE:VC) ("Visteon") between January 23, 2004 and January 31,
2005 (the "Class Period").
The Complaint alleges that Visteon violated federal securities laws by issuing
false or misleading public statements. Specifically, the Complaint alleges
that Visteon improperly accounted for certain retiree health care, pension
benefits and income taxes and, as a result, it had to reverse $9 million in
expense reductions for U.S. post-retirement life and health care costs and to
adjust the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets by $17 million. As a
result of the foregoing, Visteon's financial results were in violation of
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") and were materially inflated
at all relevant times.
On January 31, 2005, Visteon announced a 2004 net loss of $1.489 billion, or
$11.88 per share. In addition, Visteon's management recommended the review and
preliminary restatement of Visteon's financial statements for 2002, 2003 and
the first three fiscal quarters of 2004. On this news, Visteon stock fell 6.43
percent to close at $7.42 per share.
If you are a member of the class, you may, no later than April 26, 2005,
request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff of the class. A lead
plaintiff is a class member that acts on behalf of other class members in
directing the litigation. Although your ability to share in any recovery is
not affected by the decision whether or not to seek appointment as a lead
plaintiff, lead plaintiffs make important decisions which could affect the
overall recovery for class members, including decisions concerning settlement.
The securities laws require the Court to consider the class member(s) with the
largest financial interest as presumptively the most adequate lead
plaintiff(s).
