The lawsuit was filed against CSK and certain officers and directors ("Defendants").

The complaint alleges that Defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. Specifically, the complaint alleges that Defendants issued a series of false and misleading statements with respect to CSK's earnings, assets and financial prospects, which caused its shares to trade at artificially inflated levels. The Complaint further alleges that the Company's internal controls were inadequate and that its financial statements were not prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP").

On March 27, 2006, before the market opened, the Company announced that it would postpone the release of its fourth quarter and fiscal 2005 financial results. The release was delayed so that the Company could review certain accounting errors and irregularities discovered during its assessment of internal controls. In reaction to the news, shares of CSK fell $1.26 per share to $14.64 per share.

If you bought CSK securities between September 2, 2004 and March 24, 2006, inclusive, and would like to obtain information about the lawsuit, then you are invited to call (888) 753-2796 to speak with an advisor.
