Merge Healthcare (News - Alert) develops software solutions that enable hospitals, imaging centers, integrated delivery networks, and health information exchanges to create information exchanges withi their environments and with other entities worldwide. The Complaint alleges that during the Class Period the Company and certain of its executive officers and/or directors misrepresented or failed to disclose that, among other things:

• The Company's reported subscription backlog and its reported increase in backlog was false and overstated during the six quarters ended September 30, 2013.
• The Company was experiencing a continued reluctance among large health systems to move forward with enterprise purchases.
• The Company lacked effective internal controls, and its disclosure controls had not been designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting.
• The Company's deficient internal controls resulted in the failure to properly log and verify customer contracts, the failure to appropriately calculate commissions and the compensation of its sales force based on purported, and even falsified, contract signings rather than actual cash collections.

If you are a member of the Class described above, you may move the Court no later than March 17, 2014, to serve as lead plaintiff; however, you must meet certain legal requirements. To be a member of the Class, you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the Class.
