Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP Files a Securities Class Action on Behalf of Microchip Technology Inc. Investors (MCHP)


National law firm Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP ("GPM") announces that it has filed a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona on behalf of persons and/or entities that acquired Microchip Technology Inc. ("Microchip" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: MCHP) securities between May 31, 2018 and August 9, 2018, inclusive (the "Class Period"). Plaintiff pursues claims against the Defendants, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Microchip investors are hereby notified that they have 60 days from the date of this notice to move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff in this action.

On May 31, 2018, Microchip proised investors hundreds of millions of dollars in synergies following its acquisition of Microsemi (News - Alert) Corporation ("Microsemi"). However, just months later, on August 9, 2018, Microchip disclosed that the Company's financial performance was adversely impacted by the acquisition of Microsemi. On this news, shares of Microchip declined sharply in value, falling $10.67 per share, more than 10%, to close on August 10, 2018 at $87.41 per share, thereby injuring investors.



The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that Microsemi's financial performance was underperforming Microchip's expectations; and (2) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects, including positive statements about Microsemi, were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
