The complaint alleges that the Company made materially false and/or misleading statements and omitted materially adverse facts regarding the Company's business, operations, and prospects.

On January 8, 2014, the Company announced that the existence and/or value of millions of dollars of customer contracts had been falsified for the six quarters ended September 30, 2013. The Company referred to this falsification as the result of a rogue employee's attempt to reach sales quotas and attain additional compensation. The Company further disclosed that an internal investigation had estimated the value of the falsified contracts at approximately $5.8 and $9.4 million in 2012 and 2013, respectively.

If you suffered a loss in Merge Healthcare you have until March 17, 2014 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff. To obtain additional information, contact Joseph E.
