The Company and certain of its officers and directors were charged with violating certain provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Specifically, the complaint alleges that defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (1) ModusLink’s accounting for rebates associated with certain volume discounts was improper and misleading; (2) the Company’s financial statements during the Class Period did not provide a fair presentation of the Company’s finances and operations; (3) ModusLink's financial results were not prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles; (4) the Company lacked adequate internal controls; and (5), as a result of the above, ModusLink’s financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On June 11, 2012, ModusLink issued a press release acknowledging that its financial statements from fiscal years 2009 through 2011, as well as the first two quarters of fiscal year 2012, could no longer be relied upon. On this news, shares of ModusLink declined by $1.48, or 34% of their value, to close on June 11, 2012, at just $2.78 per share.

According to shareholder rights attorney Willie Briscoe, “The recent revelations about ModusLink’s alleged misrepresentations regarding its business and financial status are particularly troubling. This has led our firms to investigate possible breaches of fiduciary duties and other violations of state law by ModusLink’s officers and directors. Based on our investigation, we are prepared to institute litigation to preserve the company and the value of ModusLink stock for all shareholders.”
