United States Ninth Circuit
Miller v. Thane Int'l, Inc., 05-56043
In a class action brought against defendants under sections 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 alleging control person liability against individual defendants in connection with a merger transaction, a judgment in favor of defendants is reversed where: 1) the district court clearly erred when it found that defendants did not misrepresent that they would list the merged company's shares on the NASDAQ; and 2) such misrepresentations were material. (Superceding amended opinion)
