Camelot Information Systems Inc.

Class Period: Jul 21, 2010 to Aug 17, 2011

Lead Plaintiff Deadline: Mar 5, 2012 + Deadline passed

Summary of Case:

A securities class action has been filed against Camelot Information Systems Inc. ("Camelot" or the "Company) on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") between July 21, 2010 and August 17, 2011 (the "Class Period"), including those who acquired Camelot ADSs pursuant or traceable to the Company's false and misleading Registration Statements and Prospectuses issued in connection with its July 21, 2010 initial public offering ("IPO") and December 10, 2010 Secondary Offering ("Secondary Offering") (collectively, the "Offerings").This case has been filed in the USDC - New York (Southern).

The Complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants issued materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business practices and financial results. Specifically, defendants failed to disclose negative trends in Camelot's business, including with Camelot's most important customers. As a result of defendants' false statements, Camelot ADSs traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period, reaching a high of $26.73 per share on January 11, 2011.

On July 21, 2010, Camelot announced the pricing of its IPO of 13.3 million ADSs at $11.00 per ADS. Subsequently, on December 9, 2010, Camelot announced the pricing of its Secondary Offering of 7,160,206 ADSs by selling shareholders at $19.50 per ADS. The complaint alleges that the Registration Statements issued in connection with the Offerings were inaccurate and misleading and omitted to state material facts required to be stated therein.

On August 15, 2011, Seeking Alpha published an article questioning several key components of Camelot's business. This caused Camelot's ADSs to drop to below $9 per share. Then on August 18, 2011, Camelot issued a press release announcing its second quarter 2011 unaudited financial results, including lower-than-expected guidance for fiscal 2011. On this news, Camelot's ADSs dropped $2.24 per share to close at $6.32 per share on August 18, 2011, a one-day decline of 26%.

Furthermore, the true facts, which were known by the defendants but concealed from the investing public during the Class Period, were as follows: (a) the Company's IT professionals were not a competitive advantage to the Company and many were dissatisfied with Camelot, which would adversely affect Camelot's ability to retain its customers; (b) the Company was suffering from undisclosed attrition of employees, which was having a negative impact on the Company's ability to attract new customers; (c) Camelot did not have the large numbers of highly trained professionals at its disposal that it had represented; and (d) Camelot's contract with its most important customer, IBM, was not as solid as represented, and would not be renewed on the same terms.
