IMPORTANT AVID TECHNOLOGY, INC. INVESTOR REMINDER: Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP reminds investors that a securities class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of shareholders of Avid Technology, Inc. in the District of Massachusetts -- AVI

NEW YORK, Jan. 06, 2017 -- Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts on behalf of all purchasers of Avid Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:AVID) (“Avid”) common stock during the period between August 4, 2016 and November 9, 2016, inclusive (the "Class Period"). 

Investors who have incurred losses in Avid Technology, Inc. shares are urged to contact the firm immediately at [email protected] or (800) 575-0735 or (212) 545-4774. You may also review the filed complaint and obtain additional information concerning the action on our website, www.whafh.com.

If you purchased shares of Avid Technology, Inc within the class period and suffered losses, you may, no later than January 20, 2017, request that the Court appoint you lead plaintiff of the proposed class.

The filed complaint alleges that during the Class Period, Avid Technology made materially false and misleading statements regarding its business, operations, earnings, and financial prospects.  Specifically, the complaint alleges that during the Class Period Avid knew but failed to disclose that because it had not launched all the enterprise level features for its new NEXIS solution product offerings, its enterprise customers were deferring renewals and purchases. 

The complaint alleges that on November 9, 2016, after the close of trading, Avid suddenly disclosed that both its 3Q16 bookings and revenues had come in considerably lower than the Company had led the investment community to expect, blaming "the transition of the storage product line" and disclosing that "some existing enterprise clients deferred normal upgrade and renewal decisions and new customers postponed investments until the release of functionality targeted to the enterprise market." 

On release of this news, the Company's stock price plummeted 28% on November 10, 2016, on unusually high trading volume, closing at $4.52, down $1.80.
