(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 08/28/15 -- Pomerantz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against VASCO Data Security International, Inc. ("VASCO" or the "Company")(NASDAQ: VDSI) and certain of its officers. The class action, filed in United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, and docketed under 15-cv-06605, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased VASCO securities between February 18, 2014 and July 21, 2015 inclusive (the "Class Period"). This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").
If you are a shareholder who purchased VASCO securities during the Class Period, you have until September 28, 2015 to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class. A copy of the Complaint can be obtained at . To discuss this action, contact Robert S. Willoughby at or 888.476.6529 (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll free, ext. 9980. Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address, telephone number, and number of shares purchased.
VASCO Data Security International, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, designs, develops, markets, and supports hardware and software security systems that manage and secure access to information assets worldwide. VASCO Data's computer security subsidiaries include VASCO Data Security, Inc. in Illinois, and VASCO Data Security nv/sa of Belgium. The Company sells its security solutions through its direct sales force, distributors, resellers, and systems integrators.
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) VASCO's products were illegally sold to parties in Iran in violation of federal laws prohibiting such sales; (2) the Company lacked adequate internal controls; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, VASCO's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On July 21, 2015, after the market closed for trading, VASCO filed a Form 8-K with the SEC announcing "that certain of its products which were sold by a VASCO European subsidiary to a third-party distributor may have been resold by the distributor to parties in Iran, potentially including parties" subject to U.S. economic sanctions.
As a result of this news, shares of VASCO fell $0.86, or over 3.22%, on unusually heavy volume, to close at $25.83 on July 22, 2015.
