Tanning
Technology Corp .; Tumbleweed
Communications Corp . ; (collectively hereinafter, the "Issuers") who suffered damages as a resul t of purchasing such stocks .
SUMMARY OF CLAIMS 1 . This is an action for damages arising out of Defendants' concerted scheme t o defraud the market . Defendants conspired prior to each Issuer's IPO to manipulate the price o f numerous stocks in their post-IPO after-markets by disseminating fraudulent selling statement s instructing Investors to purchase Issuer's stock because Issuer was going to experience strong and/or increasing revenue growth in their future quarterly revenues . In conjunction with these statements . Defendants simultaneously issued fraudulently understated analyst's revenue projections that bot h CSFBC and its co-conspirator, the Issuer, believed would be exceeded by the Issuer's actual revenues. These statements regarding strong and/or increasing revenue growth were made by th e Defendants in order to condition the public market to expect "upside surprises" in the Issuer's futur e financial performance . In some blatant instances, the Pre-IPO statements indicated that the revenu e estimates were purposely under-estimated or conservative, but failed to disclose by how much . Further, in order to create upward price momentum in Issuer's stock and/or to condition the publi c market to perceive Issuer's stock as valuable and desiring of a premium valuation, Defendant s conspired to manipulate the price of numerous stocks by fraudulently understating each Issuer' s offering IPO price, and making limited disclosure to select members of the investing public .
3
2 . Thereafter, Defendants conspired to artificially inflate the Issuer's post-IPO stoc k price by issuing research reports about Issuer that continued to fraudulently understate the revenu e projections that both CSFBC and its co-conspirator, the Issuer, knew would be exceeded by th e Issuer's actual revenues . Simultaneously, Defendants made statements within these same researc h reports designed to condition the public market to expect "upside surprises" (over the Defendants ' estimates ) in the actual revenues to be reported by the Issuer. These statements included reference s to the strong and/or increasing revenue growth of Issuer, as well as statements that the revenu e estimates might be under-estimated, or overly conservative, or likely to be beaten, or susceptible t o an "upside surprise," or some other similar statement suggesting that the revenue estimates were to o low. This was misleading because the Defendants knew in fact that the estimates were too lo w because they had been discounted for the very purpose of creating an "upside surprise " artifice. The purpose of these fraudulent statements was to influence the stock price to rise higher than it woul d have risen otherwise . When, in accordance with Defendants' scheme, Issuer did issue revenu e results that exceeded the publicly disseminated estimates, Defendants drew much attention to that a s a significant event within their analysts' Reports, in support of the analysts' buy recommendations . Further still, Defendants would, on occasion, fraudulently raise their remaining revenue estimate s for Issuer to additionally condition the public market to expect "upside surprises" in the Issuer' s future financial performance . 3 . The Class was damaged when the scheme by design ended , or when Defend ants' false reports were revised to approximate actual revenues (thereby eliminating the expectation o f upside surprise), or when it became publicly known that upside revenue surprises were not going to continue . The fraudulent conditioning of the market by the Defendants, as described above, t o expect continuing upside revenue surprises had artificially inflated the stock prices . Thi s 4
manipulation of the market was unknown to public investors who were damaged in excess o f $1,000,000,000, when the scheme collapsed . JURISDICTION AND VENU E 4 . This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this action pursuant to 2 8 U.S.C. § 1331 and 1337, Section 27 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act" ) (15 U .S.C . § 78aa), Section 22(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") (15 U .S.C. § 77v), and 28 U .S .C . § 1367(a) . 5 .

The Issuer Defendants (identified in paragraphs 16 through 27) will at times be referred to collectively as the "Issuer Defendants ." 32. The Bank Defendants and the Issuer Defendants are, at times, referred to collectivel y as the "Defendants ." GROUP PLEADIN G 33 . All Issuer Individuals are appropriately treated as a group for pleading purposes ; and it is also appropriate to presume that the false and misleading information conveyed in eac h Issuer's Registration Statements, Prospectuses, Research Reports, and other public filings, pres s releases, and other publications as alleged herein are the collective actions of the narrowly define d group of Issuer Individuals identified above . Each of the Issuer Individuals, by virtue of his hig h level position with an Issuer, directly participated and was integrally involved in the management o f the Issuer, was directly involved in the day to day operations of the Issuer and was privy t o confidential proprietary information concerning the Issuer, its operations, finances, financia l condition, products, and present and future business prospects as alleged herein . Such Issue r 10
Individuals were personally involved in drafting, producing, reviewing, authorizing, and/o r disseminating the false and misleading statements alleged herein, and/or were provided with copie s of misleading research reports by CSFBC (or the Technology Group), Issuer 's press releases, Issuer's SEC filings, and other alleged misleading publications of, or about, the Issuer prior to o r shortly after their issuance, were aware that the false and misleading statements were being issue d regarding that Issuer and approved or ratified these statements . 34 . CSFBC was a managing underwriter of each of the Issuer ' s offerings identified by their prospectus dates in Exhibit A and Exhibit B below . CSFBC had a duty to ensure that complete, accurate, and truthful information with respect to the Issuer's operations, financia l condition, earnings, and future business prospects was contained in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, pursuant to which the offering was made . As part of each offering, CSFBC purporte d to conduct or participate in an investigation known as a "due diligence" investigation, into th e financial condition, business operations, prospects and financial, accounting, and managemen t control systems of each Issuer .
CONSPIRACY AND CONCERTED ACTIO N 35 . In committing the wrongful acts alleged herein, Quattrone, Boutros, and Brad y ("QBB"), the Technology Group, CSFBC and each of the Issuer Defendants (collectively , hereinafter the "Conspirators") pursued a conspiracy, common enterprise, and/or common course o f conduct and acted in concert with and conspired with one another, in furtherance of their commo n plan, scheme, or design relating to each Issuer . During all relevant times hereto, the Conspirators , and each of them, initiated a course of conduct with the purpose and effect, inter alia, to fraudulently obtain money from the investing public by deceiving them with the artifices describe d above in paragraphs 1 and 2 . In furtherance of this plan, conspiracy, and course of conduct, the
Conspirators, and each of them, took the actions as herein set forth. All Defendants pursued the common goal of conditioning the market to ensure that increases in stock price occurred as a resul t of fraudulently preplanned events . 36. QBB, the Technology Group, and CSFBC were collectively the central actors in th e conspiracy (the "Core Conspirators"). They initiated conspiracies with each of the Issuers, creatin g nineteen different conspiracies , that operated in a nearly identical manner . These Core Conspirator s developed the system of fraud described herein, recruited the Issuer Defendants to participate in th e wrongful acts, and ultimately executed the conspiracy with each of the Issuers . 37 . Each Issuer Individual, because of his or her position of control and authority as a n officer and/or director of the Issuer, was able to and did control the contents of the various quarterl y and annual financial reports, research reports, revenue data, SEC filings, and press releases for th e Issuer with which he or she was employed . The Core Conspirators provided each Issuer Defendan t with copies of that Issuer's reports, releases, and filings alleged to have been misleading herein prio r to or shortly after their issuance and the Issuer Individuals had the ability and opportunity to preven t their issuance or to cause them to be corrected . Because of their Board membership and/o r executive and managerial positions with the Issuers, each of the Issuer Individuals had access t o non public information about that Issuer's actual revenue expectations, business, finances, an d future business prospects via access to internal corporate documents, conversations, and connection s with corporate officers and employees, attendance at Board meetings and committees thereof and via reports and information provided to them in connection therewith . 38 . The Conspirators accomplished their conspiracy, common enterprise, or commo n course of conduct of artificially inflating the price of Issuers' stock through the issuance of false an d misleading quarterly and annual reports,research reports, SEC filings and reports, and press release s 12
to the public, which manipulated, misrepresented, and failed to disclose the true facts regardin g Issuers' revenues, earnings, markets, business, management, financial condition, and futur e prospects . Each of the Conspirators was a direct and substantial participant in the conspiracy , common enterprise, and common course of conduct complained of herein . 39 . Each of the Defendant Conspirators is sued both individually and as a coconspirator, and the liability of each arises from the fact that each engaged in all or part of th e unlawful acts charged herein . In addition, there are other unknown persons, who conspired in th e commission of the wrongs alleged herein . Each of the Defendants acted knowingly or in such a reckless or grossly negligent manner as to constitute a fraud and deceit upon Issuers' shareholders . PLAINTIFFS' CLASS ACTION ALLEGATION S 40 . Plaintiffs bring this action as a class action pursuant to Federal Rule of Civi l Procedure 23(b)(1) and, in the alte rnative , (b)(3) on behalf of themselves and the members of a clas s ("Class") of Plaintiffs, consisting of all persons and entities who purchased common stock of eac h Issuer during the dates set forth below in Exhibit A, inclusive (the "Class Period"), and who wer e damaged thereby. 41 . The Class Period is comp ri sed of nineteen Subclass Periods as set forth in Exhibit A below . Each Subclass of Plaintiffs consists of all persons and entities who purchased that Issuer' s securities in the open market during that Subclass Period . Some of the Subclass Periods begin wit h the aftermarket purchases immediately subsequent to an Issuer' s initial offering, but none of th e Subclass Periods include purchases made in conjunction with the Initial Public Offering . Exclude d from the Class are the Defendants, conspirators identified herein but not sued, officers and director s of the Company, the members of their immediate families and their legal representatives , heirs , successors, or assigns, and any entity in which Defendants have or had a controlling interest . Also 13
excluded from the Class are purchasers who sold their stock during the class period and earned a profit . 42 . As alleged herein, Defend ants knowingly or recklessly disseminated materially false and misleading information to the investing public regarding, inter alia, the Issuers' revenue expectations . Defendants' conduct had the intended effect of creating false expectations amon g purchasers that the Issuers would continually exceed revenue expectations, thereby artificiall y inflating the prices Plaintiffs paid for Issuers' securities during the Class Period . 43 . Shares of Issuers' securities were outstanding and actively and openly traded on th e NASDAQ, an efficient market in which the price of the Issuers ' stocks reflected publicl y disseminated information about each Issuer, and millions of shares were traded during the Clas s Period . 44. The members of the Class are so numerous that joinder of all members i s impracticable . While the exact number of Class members is unknown to Plaintiffs at this time and can only be ascertained through appropriate discovery, Plaintiffs believe that there are at leas t thousands of members of the Class . Record owners and other members of the Class may b e identified from records maintained by the Issuers or their transfer agents and may be notified of the pendency of this action by mail, using the form of notice similar to that customarily used i n securities class actions . 45 . Plaintiffs' claims are typical of the claims of the members of the Class as al l members of the Class are similarly affected by Defendants' wrongful conduct in violation of federa l law as alleged herein . 46 . Plaintiffs will fairly and adequately protect the interests of the members of the Clas s and has retained counsel competent in class and securities litigation . 14
47 . Common questions of law and fact exist as to all members of the Class an d predominate over any questions affecting solely individual members of the Class . Among the questions of law and fact common to the Class are : a. whether the federal securities laws were violated by Defendants' acts as allege d herein; b. whether Defendants participated in and pursued the common course of conduc t complained of herein ; c. whether documents, press releases and other statements disseminated to th e investing public and the Issuers' shareholders during the Class Period misrepresented materia l facts about the business, financial condition, and future business prospects of Issuers ; d. whether statements made by Defendants to the investing public during the Class Period misrepresented material facts about the business, future prospects, and finances of th e Issuers ; e. whether the Prospectus, Analysts' Research Reports, and other public statement s made by Defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose material facts ; f. whether the market prices of Issuers' securities during the Class Period wer e artificially inflated due to the material misrepresentations and omissions and failure to correct the material misrepresentations and omissions complained of herein ; and g. whether the members of the Class have sustained damages and, if so, the prope r measure of damages . 48 . A class action is superior to all other available methods for the fair and efficien t adjudication of this controversy since joinder of all members is impracticable . Furthermore, as the damages suffered by individual Class members may be relatively small, the expense and burden of 15
individual litigation make it impossible for members of the Class to individually redress the wrong s done to them . There will be no difficulty in the management of this class action . THE TECHNOLOGY GROUP PITCHES : "POP AND PERFORMANCE " 49. In marketing the scheme described in paragraphs I and 2 above to prospective IP O clients, the Technology Group used Marketing Slides which broadly referred to the scheme as "Po p and Performance" of the prospective client's stock price. The "Pop" resulted from conducting a n initial public offering ("IPO") for each Issuer at a per-share offering p rice that reflected a deep discount to the true belief as to its value so that almost immediately post-IPO, the price of the issue d stock would increase to a price significantly higher than the IPO offering-price . Prior to the IPO , CS and/or CSFBC's sales staff made selective disclosures of the fact of the discounting of the IP O pricing to members of the investing public . As a result of these selective disclosures regarding th e discounting, there was informational asymmetry between "in the know" buyers and other buyers . As the "in the know buyers" bought the stock at its discounted price level, other buyers were attracted to the stock because of its signific ant price gains in that first day . As a result of this interest in the first day price gains and/or as a result of then learning of the discount, other buyer s were induced to also purchase the stock, thus creating upward price momentum- a "Pop"-up in th e stock price . 50 . The "Performance" resulted from CSFBC and each Issuer fraudulently conditionin g of the market. This was accomplished by their knowingly disseminating falsely-discounted expectations about the Issuer's prospective financial performance (including false reports o f expected revenues), while simultaneously disseminating statements to the public encouraging the m to purchase the stock because of the Issuer's strong and/or increasing revenue growth and/or th e possibility of upside surprises in Issuer's revenues versus the stated expectations . 16
CSFBC'S OPPORTUNITY TO COMMIT FRAU D 51 . Typically, investment bankers are the direct liaison between an investment bank and a company in executing an IPO . Executing IPOs, as well as other financing transactions fo r companies, is their primary employment function . 52. In July of 1998, CS hired Quattrone and several other investment bankers to run a technology investment banking group (the Technology Group) for CS and its subsidiary CSFBC . 53 . At all relevant times, the Technology Group 's operations were based in Silico n Valley . At all relevant times, Quattrone was the head of the Technology Group, and he was grante d the authority by CS and/or CSFBC to employ and terminate employees in the Technology Group a t will . 54. Quattrone was granted unusual autonomy by CS and/or CSFBC to structure the Technology Group as he saw fit, including an integration of investment banking activities with equity-research analysts' activities . 55 . In furtherance of this strategy, Quattrone established a separate research departmen t for his Technology Group ("Technology Research Team"), which included equity research analyst s that would publish CSFBC research reports on technology companies with which CSFBC di d business or was attempting do business . 56 . The Technology Research Team reported directly to Quattrone. Quattron e supervised and paid the Technology Research Team . Quattrone had the power to hire and fir e analysts . 57. Internal organizational charts, as well as organizational charts presented to clients , clearly indicated Quattrone's authority and control over both Technology Investment Banking an d Technology Equity Research . 17
58. Equity research analysts disseminate information to the public markets regarding companies' expected financial performance . This information is disseminated both orally and through the writing of periodic research reports, which are widely disseminated to the publi c market . The public markets view this information as material, and its dissemination by an analys t can affect the price of a company's stock. Here, Defendants were aware of the effect caused b y analyst reports and incorporated those reports at the core of their fraud scheme . 59. The Technology Research Team included a number of "All-Star" analysts who wer e recognized in the public marketplace and whose published reports influenced prices of the securitie s on which they reported . The prospect of receiving research coverage from one of these influentia l "All-Star" analysts in the Technology Research Team increased the likelihood that a compan y would select CSFBC for its prospective IPO . 60. The Technology Group, under Quattrone's direction, used the direct involvement o f the Technology Research Team' research analysts in all stages of the IPO process (Pre-IPO, IP O Marketing, and Post-IPO) as a marketing device to lure potential clients to its IPO practice . The public was largely unaware of the link between research and banking at CSFBC, and therefore, it trusted and relied upon CSFBC' s research reports. 61 . A Technology Group presentation slide detailed the involvement of analysts fro m the Technology Research Team in the IPO process as follows : "Pre-IPO : Significant `front-end' effort to position company's story in prospectus and roadshow ; Sales force `teach-in' to begin communicating the IPO opportunity ." "IPO Marketing : Active involvement on roadshow . . . ."
18
"Post-IPO : Detailed report issued immediately after 25-day quiet perio d expires ; Timely communication with the market as company event s dictate . . . " 62 . Analysts in the Technology Research Team published research reports on each o f the companies that the Technology Group brought public in an IPO . 63 . Quattrone and the investment bankers in the Technology Group exerted direc t influence on what the research analyst in the Technology Research Team wrote in their publishe d research reports . 64 . As Forbes repo rted on September 23, 2001 : [I]n Quattrone's shop, research was expected to serve the bankers' interests . . . [O]thers say he tried to bully them . "I'll have you out of here Monday morning if you say that " . . . managing director recalls Quattrone telling an analyst who wanted to issue a less than flattering report about a client . "Do you want to work in this firm? Do you want to be a team player? When it comes time for bonus review, all this will b e remembered ." 65. The Technology Group maintained , and carried out , a policy of only part icipating in IPOs in which CSFBC was the "Lead" manager or, at a minimum, a "Co-Lead" manager of the underwriting. 66. The Lead or Co-Lead manager (also referred to as the "bookrunning" Manager(s) ) of an IPO exerts a dominant position over any other investment banking syndicate-members wh o are involved in the selling of the Issuer's stock in the IPO . This includes dominance ove r conducting the due diligence of a company's financial condition, the review and dissemination o f expectations about a company's future financial performance, and the final determination of th e company's stock price in the IPO . 19
67 . The Technology Group was able to richly capitalize on its enhanced operatin g structure , moving to the forefront in all technology IPOs. As reported in Bloomberg News on June 27, 2001, "[I]n 2000, Quattrone's group was the undisputed king of the tech initial public offerin g business . It was one of Wall Street's top moneymaking endeavors, completing 47 deals-one ou t of every four computer, software, Internet and semiconductor initial public offerings . " Additionally, on June 28, 2001, Bloomberg News issued a follow-up report stating that CSFBC wa s "the No . 1 underwriter of initial stock sales for computer, software, Internet and semiconducto r companies in 1999 and 2000, garnering 24 percent of the market ." CSFBC'S MOTIV E 68 . CSFBC, Quattrone, and each member of the Technology Group, had a direc t financial incentive to (1) conduct as many IPOs as possible, and (2) take steps to ensure that a n Issuer's stock price rose after the IPO . CSFCB and the Technology Group benefitted from the frau d scheme in the following ways : (1) payment of investment banking fees ; (2) payment related to secondary offerings ; (3) profits (actual and expected) from secret pre-IPO investments ; (4) allocations of lucrative IPO shares ; (5) increased commissions as a result of market making activity ; and (6) other ancillary benefits, including bonuses, publicity and the like . 69. CSFBC profited directly from investment banking fees collected from taking a company to IPO . The more IPOs performed, the more fees CSFBC collected . The fees CSFB C earned from the IPOs conducted for the Issuers herein exceeded $159,390,000 . 70. Quattrone and members of his Technology Group also profited directly fro m conducting as much IPO business as possible, due to a revenue-sharing agreement betwee n Quattrone and the Technology Group and CSFBC . The agreement compensated them with half o f
20
the revenue (after certain costs ) generated by the Technology Group . The profit was to be distributed by Quattrone to himself and his Technology Group employees . 71 . As The Wall Street Journal reported on May 3, 2001, " [w]ith a revenue-sharing agreement with CSFB after certain costs, the [Quattrone] group had as much as $500 million t o divide among its members in 1999, according to some former and current CSFB employees . " 72. Additionally, as The Wall Street Journal reported on November 13, 2001, "Mr . Quattrone's pay was based on production . Thus, during the heady days for technology stocks, whe n CSFB was the premier underwriter of such offerings, he earned huge annual sums that approache d $100 million, the people familiar with the firm say ." 73 . These huge fees provided CSFBC with a motive to execute the fraud scheme. 74. Analysts with CSFBC's Technology Group were also compensated from th e Technology Group's share of IPO revenue . 75 . CSFBC' s standard practice was to compensate its research analysts for their participation in generating investment banking business . As The Wall Street Journal reported o n May 6, 2002, "[ c]opies of job-offer letters from . . . Credit Suisse First Boston to candidates for research-analyst positions show that Wall Street analysts are paid, in part, for investment-banking business they help generate." 76. In addition to their financial interest in conducting as much IPO business as possible, CSFBC, Quattrone, and the members of the Technology Group (including the other investment bankers and the research analysts in the Technology Research Team) had a financial interest i n taking actions that would cause Issuers' stock prices to rise after the IPO . 77. Successfully creating a "Pop" (i.e., where an Issuer's stock price at IPO trades on it s first day at a price that is higher than its offering price) drew attention to CSFBC's IPO business . 21
CSFBC promoted its ability to create and sustain outsized economic returns . CSFBC sought t o increase future demand for its IPO services . 78. In addition, after the IPO date , CSFBC profited from its activities as a market-make r (buying and selling stocks for the public in the aftermarket for a fee) in the Issuers' stock . CSFBC and the Technology Group' s scheme was to manufacture the perception among buyers that large economic returns accrued to holders of an Issuer 's stock after a CSFBC (Technology Group) -le d IPO . This had the desired effect of attracting additional buying demand and consequently trading volume that would not otherwise have occurred . Thus, CSFBC increased its profits from marketmaking trading . 79 . Quattrone separately established for his Technology Group a private client service s group, which engaged primarily in first-day trading in certain IPOs . Accounts in this group were offered only to venture capitalists, executives of high-tech companies, and others who did business , or might do future business, with the Technology Group . These accounts were referred to internall y as "Friends of Frank ." 80. Allocations from an IPO became profitable when a stock appreciated in value fro m its IPO offering price (particularly where there was immediate appreciation) . By doling out thes e lucrative stock allocations to potential clients (the "Friends of Frank") they were consequently lure d into doing future business with Quattrone, the Technology Group, and CSFBC . 81 . In addition, Quattrone and his associates sought to profit personally from CSFBC' s underwriting activities by establishing hedge funds to invest in Issuers about to undertake an IP O with CSFBC: • Credit Suisse First Boston Venture Fund I., L.P. ;
22
• QBB Management I, LLC (the general partner of Credit Suisse First Boston Ventur e Fund I , L .P.); • Credit Suisse First Boston Technology Group Fund I, L .P. • Credit Suisse First Boston Technology Group II L .P. ; • Interwoven Equity Investors LL C • InterTrust Equity Investors LLC • Emachines Equity Investors LLC • Onvia Equity Investors LLC • CSFB Technology Holdings 2000, LLC • CSFB Technology Holdings 2001, L .P. • Credit Suisse First Boston Technology Group Fund 2001, L.P. 82. These hedge funds "purchased" pre-IPO stock from an Issuer client at prices far below the IPO offering price and then sold the stock after conducting the Issuer's IPO . As reporte d in The Wall Street Journal reported on May 3, 2001 : Mr. Quattrone and two top CSFB aides-George Boutros and Willia m Brady, his mergers and corporate-finance chiefs, respectively-were general partners of the fund through a partnership named QBB Management . The general partnership allowed the three executives to invest personally in the companies the fund invested in, some of which Mr. Quattrone's group brought public only months later . . . . [Quattrone] and two colleagues made a total of about $2 million after paying a bargain price for shares of Interwoven, Inc ., an internet software firm, a few months before CSFB took Interwoven public, according t o
regulatory filings . 83 . These funds were instrumental to the Technology Group's overall fraudulen t scheme, because inter alia , they allowed the Technology Group to curry favor with potential clients of its IPO services because of the perception that the Group would consequently have an interest i n
23
making the client's stock price rise, and also they allowed the members of the Technology Group t o profit directly from their fraudulent activities . 84. CSFBC also sought to profit from these activities , allocating money to Quattrone to similarly invest on its behalf in cheap pre-IPO stock in clients about to go public . 85. As The Wall Street Journal reported on May 3, 2001 : As part of his deal with CSFB, which he joined in 1998, Mr . Quattrone was given $25 million each year to invest for the firm in potential underwriting clients about to go public . Mr . Quattrone told associates the fund would not only help the bank win underwriting business, but deliver a rich investment return as well .
86. In addition to the hedge funds, CSFBC also engaged in pre-IPO venture capital investments in several of its IPO offerings through other venture capital affiliates . 87. CSFBC also profited from its scheme by requiring ce rtain of the Issuers to conduc t secondary offerings from which it generated lucrative fees . Additionally, CSFBC was paid fees by the Issuers to provide services in connection with other transactions . TECHNOLOGY GROUP'S AND CSFBC'S ACTUAL KNOWLEDGE (SCIENTER ) 88 . CSFBC and the Technology Group had actual knowledge that their misstatement s and omissions were fraudulent, and they engaged in a marketing effort to sell their fraudulen t scheme . As part of this effort, the Technology Group presented prospective clients with a two-fol d measure by which its IPOs were distinct from its competitors : (1) stock prices increased more on the first day of trading for CSFBC-led IPOs than its competitors ; and (2) stocks continued to increase in price in the subsequent days and months beyond the first day's closing price . In a slide (entitled "Which Firm's IPOs Have the Right Combination of Pop and Performance?") used in it s marketing presentations , CSFBC compared its perform ance to its chief competitors, Goldman Sachs 24
and Morgan Stanley, on these combined measures . CSFBC boasted that its IPOs outperformed those of its chief competitors in both the percentage of IPOs then trading above their offering price and the percentage of IPOs then trading above their first day's closing price . 89. To achieve its aim of a substantial jump in Issuers ' stock prices on the day of IP O issue, the Technology Group knowingly set the proposed offering price-range at a deep discount compared to its actual belief of the Issuers' actual value . 90. The Technology Group then communicated the actual value an d the discounte d proposed offering price-range to CSFBC' s sales staff.
In each case, this discounting was
communicated through either or both of two documents : an internal "Equity Sales Book" and a "Sales Points Broadcast." Together, these two documents were sometimes referred to as the "Sales Memo ." 91 . CSFBC's sales staff used the Sales Memo to communicate with, create interest in , and subsequently sell the Issuers' IPO stock to select members of the investing public . 92 . Both the fraudulently understated IPO offering price and CSFBC' s communicatio n of the discount to limited members of the investing public prior to the offering were material factor s that caused the price of Issuers' stock to increase during the first day trading . 93 . CSFBC established Issuers' final IPO stock prices based on this discounted price range, knowing that the price would rise . 94. On the day of the offering, as the price of Issuers' stock rose substantially, excessive demand was created for Issuers' stock . This caused the stock to rise higher in its first days o f trading than it otherwise would have, boosting the price above its true value . 95. The Technology Group and CSFBC conducted a detailed valuation analysis to for m a belief as to the actual value of Issuer's company, and to determine a stock price correspondin g 25
with that value. Part of this valuation analysis included an analysis of the relative valuations o f Issuers' comparable public companies . 96. The Technology Group employed various financial spreadsheet models i n connection with determining the Issuers' offering price . These included the "Comps model," whic h calculated the relative valuations of public companies comparable to the Issuer ; the "IPO model, " which determined the actual valuation of an Issuer's company ; the "IPO matrix," which determine d the range of valuations for an Issuer 's company equating with a range of potential IPO prices ; and/or other financial models including some hybrid combinations of the above models . 97. These models performed several functions , including determining an actual valuation of an Issuer's company ; determining the relative valuations of public companie s comparable to the Issuer's ; and determining the range of valuations for an Issuer's compan y equating with a range of potential IPO prices . 98. The Technology Group 's fraudulent understating of Issuers ' stock price range wa s often referred to as the "IPO Discount ."
In some inst ances, this discounting was performe d
explicitly in the spreadsheet models through the language used and/or the functionality of th e models . At other times the Technology Group performed the IPO Discount implicitly by setting a discounted pricing range after it completed its valuation analysis . 99. For instance, in the Technology Group's pre-IPO Sales Memo for Lightspan Partnership, Inc ., entitled "Sales Force Book," which was directed towards the CSFBC (and CSFB ) sales force, the Technology Group discussed the upcoming IPO . In that Sales Memo, the discount was referred to explicitly as the "IPO Discount R ange," and was described as "15%-25% ."
A
footnote to its valuation analysis stated that the Technology Group "Assumes IPO discount at midpoint of 15% - 25% IPO discount range." 26
100 . In each instance, CSFBC had actual knowledge of the offer price discounting, bot h because it knowingly completed the act of discounting and also because it communicated th e discount to CSFB through the inte rnal Sales Memo, and/or the inte rnal "Investment Bankin g Committee Memo" ("IBC Memo"), and/or the internal "Equity Valuation Committee Memo" ("EVC Memo") . 101 . In each instance, the Issuer had actual knowledge of the discounting described abov e because it had discussed with the Technology Group the pricing of the Issuer's stock in the IPO , and/or the Technology Group gave to the Issuer summary pages from the spreadsheet-model s described above as part of the valuation analysis . These summary pages showed the actua l valuation of the Issuer's company, the relative valuations of the Issuer's comparable publi c companies, and the range of valuations for the Issuer's company equating with a range of potentia l IPO prices . 102 . Further, prior to each IPO, CSFBC, and the Issuer conspired to, agreed to, an d subsequently established the initial forecasted quarterly and annual revenues that were to b e disseminated to the public at a substantially lower level than the actual revenues that CSFBC, th e Technology Group, and Issuer expected the Issuer would ea rn. This part of the scheme was know n as the "Performance" or "Upside Surprise," CSFB fraudulently understated revenue data in order for the Issuer ' s stock price to increase in the days an d months subsequent to the Issuer 's first day closing price .
103 . The Technology Group summarized this device , scheme, or artifice in a slide used i n a presentation to an Issuer (while the Technology group was in the process of preparing the Issuer' s IPO) :
27
"The initial street forecast" revenue and net income is structured as a level of revenue and income that enables management to continually exceed expectations based on management's expected internal plan . "Initial street forecast" revenue should approximate research analyst projections . 104 . In carrying out the scheme (where the disseminated forecast of an Issuer's future revenues was fraudulently undersstated), the Technology Group's investment bankers receive d financial information from each Issuer . This included each Issuer's internal projected incom e statement, which showed internal revenue projections . 105 . CSFBC's Technology Group bankers then inserted this information into their own financial spreadsheet model or models, which were constructed to formulaically discount th e projected annual and/or quarterly revenues inputted from the Issuer's information . In many instances, this discounting functionality was programmed into the same financial spreadsheet models described in the above paragraphs, and in those instances, those models were used t o achieve the same purpose . 106 . The discounting described above was often referred to in the Technology Group' s financial spreadsheet models with terms such as the "haircut," "waterfall," or "corporate judgment ." 107 . In the course of further developing the use of research analysts' projections in thi s scheme, the Technology Group constructed and utilized an additional financial spreadsheet model . This additional model was referred to as the "Waterfall" model , from which was derived a "Waterfall" cha rt used in many presentations. 108 . The "Waterfall" model combined several, sequential future occurrences in which a n Issuer's actual revenue in a period exceeded the revenue previously forecasted for that period, an d coupled each of these occurrences with a consequent upward revision to all remaining revenu e forecasts for Issuer . This model combined these consequent upward revisions in a pyramid fashion, 28
so that the revisions could be included in calculating the initial quarterly and annual revenues to be forecast for the Issuer, based upon what the Issuer's revenues were actually expected to be. In so doing, the Issuer's revenues actually expected to occur in future forecasted periods would, b y design, continually exceed not only the initial forecasts, but also upward revisions to the forecast s for all periods in the forecast . In some instances, the Waterfall model was merged into the sam e financial spreadsheet models described above . 109 . After conducting this understating of the Issuer's financial projection of revenues , the investment bankers of the Technology Group then distributed to both the Issuer and th e Technology Research Team's research analysts a new projected income statement for the Issuer that contained the discounted revenue projections . 110 . The Issuer then adopted, or incorporated, these discounted fin ancial projections int o the forecast information it disseminated in connection with the IPO and/or disseminated thereafter . 111 . The Technology Research Team 's research analysts then used these discounte d financial projections to create discounted financial projections for the Issuer that wer e approximately similar. As described above in paragraph 103, the goal of this aspect of the schem e or artifice was that : . . ."Initial street forecast" revenue should approximate research analys t projections . 112 . These false financial forecasts by the Technology Research Team (which were based on the discounted financial projections of the Issuer) were then used by the Technolog y Group, Technology Research Team analysts, and CSFBC in the IPO sales process of the Issuer' s stock offering .
29
113 . The Technology Group prepared its standard Sales Memo for each Issuer's IPO an d attached therein (typically in the "Equity Sales Book" portion) the Technology Research Team' s financial forecast for the Issuer, which included a projected income statement . 114 . This Sales Memo was then distributed to CSFBC' s sales force for use in buildin g market interest to sell the Issuer 's IPO. The information contained in the Sales Memo wa s communicated to members of the investing public by CSFBC's sales force, including information from the projected income statement of the Issuer, which incorporated the fraudulently understate d financial projections . The fraudulent projections were not disclosed to the public . 115 . This Sales Memo also contained selling statements instructing Investors to purchas e Issuer's stock because Issuer was going to experience strong and/or increasing revenue growth i n their future quarterly revenues . In some blatant instances these selling statements indicated that th e revenue estimates were purposely under-estimated or conservative, but failed to disclose by ho w much. 116 . After the expiration of the quiet period following the IPO, the Technology Researc h Team's research analysts published research reports on the Issuer that included a projected income statement incorporating the discounted financial projections . In all initial research reports, CSFB C rated each of the Issuers as a "Buy" or "Strong Buy ." Further, statements were made within these same research reports to condition the public market to expect "upside surprises" (over the projecte d estimates) in the actual revenues to be reported by the Issuer . These statements included reference s to the strong an d/or increasing revenue growth of Issuer, as well as statements that the revenu e estimates were under-estimated, or overly conservative, or likely to be beaten, or susceptible to a n "upside surprise," or some other similar statement suggesting that the revenue estimates were to o low. 30

Although a de . facto partnership existed between QBB and CS, a legal entity for the fund was not formed until a later time . 126 . In September 1998, QBB made the first investment in a pre-IPO Issuer, registere d under a CS subsidiary, Merchant Capital, as a holding vehicle until the fund entity was established . 127 . On January 1, 1999, QBB executed an "Operating Agreement of QBB Management I, LLC ." The agreement was signed by QBB .

131 . On June 3, 1999, QBB Management I, LLC . filed with the state of Delaware as a partnership . 132 . On June 3, 1999, the Venture Fund filed as a partnership with the state of Delaware . Its general partner is QBB Management I, LLC (QBB are the members ) and its sole limited partner is Merchant Capital, Inc . 133 . Although QBB was responsible for contributing 1% of the capital for the Ventur e Fund with Merchant Capital contributing the remaining 99%, Merchant Capital actually funde d each investment in its entirety through August 2000 by loaning QBB its 1% portion of the contribution . Northpoint Partnership Management and CSFB Product Control each maintained a schedule and record of such payments . 134 . Beginning in the fall of 1999, CS (or one of its wholly -owned subsidiaries) create d several Limited Liability Companies through which Technology Group employees could share i n the investments held by the Venture Fund of those companies about to engage in an IPO . Each of the LLCs was established to hold only the security of the company about to launch its IPO. Employees paid the Venture Fund for a portion of the Fund's securities and, in exchange, th e Venture Fund transferred a percentage of its holdings in that particular investment to the employe e LLC . The Funds were paid directly to Merchant Capital since the Venture Fund was not ye t maintaining a separate accounting.

136 . In January of 2000, the Board of Directors of Merchant Capital Inc . adopted chan ges to its corporation by unanimous written consent through a signed resolution entitled "Writte n Consent of Board of Directors ." At the time of that writing, and for all or some part of the tim e period prior to the writing, which writing began with the employment of Frank Quattrone, Willia m ("Bill") Brady, and George Boutros, the Board of Directors of Merchant Capital consisted entirel y of the same three members : David Denunzio, Allen Wheat, and John Hennessy . 137 . Merchant Capital expanded the number of Directors of the company to seven, and appointed as new directors Mark Patterson, Richard Thornburgh, Charles Ward, and Fran k Quattrone to serve with the three existing directors . This was significant because, inter alia, Quattrone was promoted to a position of authority over the CSG and CSFB subsidiary whic h funded his Technology Group's pre-IPO venture investing activity and this promotion placed hi m alongside executives and/or board members of CSFB and CSG in making decisions for that entity . In addition, Edward S . Nadel was elected to the office of Vice President of the Company. 138 . In addition, in that written consent, the Directors stated--
37
WHEREAS, the Company intends to form one or more funds to make investments related to the Technology Group of Credit Suisse First Boston (the "Tech Fund") for the purpose of providing investment opportunities to certain employees of the Credit Suisse First Boston business unit of Credit Suisse First Boston . . . . RESOLVED , that the appointment of the Company as the General Pa rtner, with a general partnership interest in each of the Employee Funds, i s hereby approved . . . . RESOLVED, that a special sub-committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Technology Sub-Commi ttee"),
consisting of Frank
Quattrone , Richard Thornburgh, and Charles Ward be established for the purpose of managing the Tech Fund. 139 . In following through its passed resolutions , as described immediately above, Merchant Capital established in early 2000 two larger funds to allow employees of CS and/or CSFBC to invest in Venture Fund securities that were not previously offered . Credit Suisse First Boston Technology Group Fund I, LP ("Tech Fund I") was established January 7 , 2000 an d allowed employees to participate in investments made in 1998 and 1999 .
Credit Suisse First Boston
Technology Group Fund II, LP ("Tech Fund IP") was established March 22, 2000 an d encompassed all investments made in 2000 .
The two funds closed their initial funding (the date employees
subscribed) on May 3, 2000. 140 . Merch ant Capital was the sole general partner of both Tech Fund I and Tech Fund II, while the limited pa rtners for each entity were subsc ribing employees from the Technology Group. 141 . Like the employee LLCs, Tech Fund I purchased from the Venture Fund a percentage of the investments made by the Fund . 38
142 . Investments initiated in 2000 were held in a holding entity, CSFB Technolog y Holdings 2000, LLC, which was composed of the following members : Venture Fund , Tech Fund II , and EMA Partners Fund 2000, L .P . CSFB Technology Holdings 2000, LLC was established Jul y 28 of 2000, filed with the state of Delaware on July 31 of 2000. 143 . In addition to the investment by Tech Fund II in shares of Multilink as describe d immediately above, additional shares of Series B stock of Multilink were also held by the Venture Fund . 144 . Upon information and belief, CSFBC and/or CS/CSG invested additional monies i n the Issuers, with the intent of participating in the profits reaped by the fraud scheme . ISSUERS ' MOTIVE 145 . Each Issuer had a strong interest in having its stock price trade dramatically higher than the IPO offering price. Issuers believed that the IPO pop would attract additional buying demand by other investors that would not otherwise have occurred . Additionally, this perception o f large economic returns would increase the amount of publicity afforded to the Issuer from its IPO . Further, the increase in trading price increased each Issuer's market capitalization . 146 . Each Issuer also had a direct financial interest in influencing the stock price so i t would appreciate post-IPO as much as possible . This was for several reasons, including but no t limited to: (1) each Issuer's stock would be more attractive to potential purchasers in any futur e stock offerings by that Issuer because, in part, the rise in the Issuer's stock price from the IPO woul d be suggestive of further stock price rises for new purchasers, (2) any future sales of stock by the Issuer to the public at a higher stock price would raise money at a higher dollar-for-equity rate than had been garnered in the IPO, and (3) a higher stock price for the Issuer would be advantageous in seeking acquisition or merger opportunities with other companies . 39
147 . Issuer Individuals also had a direct financial incentive in having the stock price appreciate as much as possible after the IPO because they owned stock in the Issuer, and a higher stock price directly increased their personal wealth . In addition, a "lockup agreement" made with CSFBC in connection with the IPO of each Issuer prevented the Issuer Individuals from selling their shares of the Issuer for a period of time after the IPO date . It was, thus, in their best interest for the Issuer's stock price to continue to rise post-IPO, at least until such time as they could sell their shares and realize profits . Moreover, upon information and belief, each of the Issuer Individuals received compensation from the Issuer that was linked to the performance of the stock price . 148 . CSFBC and the Technology Group represented to each Issuer that a higher stock price, post-IPO, would be advantageous in effectuating further sales of the Issuer's stock in socalled "Piggyback Offerings ." CSFBC and the Technology Group also represented to Issuer Individuals that they would be able to shorten the period of time that they were required to hold their existing stock in the Issuer (as required by the "lockup agreement"), and participate as sellers in these Piggyback Offerings of Issuer's stock . 149 . As The Wall Street Journal reported on February 17, 2000, CSFB used "piggyback" transactions to accelerate corporate insider's financial gains from public offerings : Corporate executives are supposed to be bound for a time before they can cash in on the price run-ups in their companies' IPOs . But now, some executives have been given a key to indirectly open those lockup agreements . The secret lies not just in the typical `follow on' sale to an initial public offering - that is, additional sales of new stock by the company . Instead, the trendy maneuver is a hybrid stock offering dubbed a piggyback offering . 40
It works like this : Before the expiration of the traditional lockup period that keeps corporate executives and other insiders from selling, the company returns to the market with a new sale of stock that includes both new shares from the company and those held by the insiders . In the past, insiders - including venture capitalist and other founding investors-would have had to wait at least six months to sell any of their shares after an IPO . With the piggybacks, they can unload a portion of their holdings in as little as 90 days . Some of Wall Street's biggest firms, which once rigidly held new companies to lockup agreements, have eased up . . . Credit Suisse Group's Credit Suisse First Boston . . . are among the firms that have led piggyback deals so far this year. ISSUERS ' OPPORTUNITY 150 . It is unusual even among employees working for the same investment bank that investment bankers would have direct influence over, and be able to explicitly conspire with, the research analysts . 151 . As reported in Bloomberg News on May 3, 2001 : "Normally, there's a sort of dotted-line relationship between analysts and investment banking," said Samuel Hayes, a professor of investment banking at Harvard Business School . "In this case, Frank Quattrone had total supervision of these people . It was a doomed relationship ." 152 . The Technology Group and CSFBC presented to each Issuer an unusual opportunity (as described above) to manipulate upward the price of the Issuer's stock at the IPO using a discounting method, and, post-IPO, through the dissemination of false financial expectations,
41
including the publication of misleading equity research and by conditioning the market (a s described . above in paragraphs 1 and 2) . ISSUERS ' ACTUAL KNOWLEDGE (SCIENTER ) 153 . Each Issuer had actual knowledge of the fraudulently understated offering price because, as stated above in paragraphs 88-116, and incorporated herein, each Issuer had discussion s with the Technology Group regarding the pricing of the Issuer 's stock for the IPO . In conjunctio n with these pricing discussions, each Issuer received from the Technology Group summary pages as described above . These summary pages included the Technology Group's analysis of the Issuer . This analysis showed the fair valuation of the Issuer 's company, the relative valuations of comparable public companies, and a range of potential IPO prices representing alternate valuations for the Issuer 's company. 154 . Each Issuer was explicitly aware that the final pricing determination of the Issuer' s stock by CSFBC at the IPO date was based on this fraudulently understated price range because th e purpose of the discussions was to decide on the Issuer's pricing . 155 . In addition, each Issuer also had actual knowledge that the forecasts of the Issuer' s future revenues (that were to be disseminated and published) were discounted substantially belo w what the Issuer 's and CSFCB' s actual expectations were of the Issuer's future revenues . 156 . Each Issuer had actual knowledge about the discounting of revenue forecast s because the Technology Group had explained to each Issuer , in l anguage identical or similar to tha t found in the presentation referred to in paragraph 103 above, the purpose and strategy o f discounting forecasted revenues in conjunction with the IPO .
42
157 . Furthermore, each Issuer had delivered to the Technology Group's investmen t bankers, as described above in paragraph 104, the Issuer's projected income statement, showing th e Issuer's actual expected revenue projections . 158 . Each Issuer subsequently received from the Technology Group's investment bankers, as described above in paragraph 109, a new projected income statement for the Issuer that contained the fraudulently understated revenue projections . 159 . And further, prior to the IPO, bankers from the Technology Group and analysts fro m the Technology Research Team jointly met with each Issuer, as described above. At these meetings, the bankers and analysts conducted due diligence and review of a final version of eac h Issuer's discounted financial projections and/or the financial forecast by the Technology Researc h Team based on the discounted financial projections . These final meetings were documented i n CSFBC's internal EVC Memos and also in CSFBC's internal IBC Memos . 160 . Each Issuer also received from the Technology Group a copy of its projected incom e statement, which included the fraudulent financial projections . The income statement was prepare d by the analysts of the Technology Research Team for use both in selling the IPO by CSFBC and also for post-IPO research reports to be issued by the Technology Research Team . 161 . The Sales Memo was to be used by CSFBC prior to the IPO to assist its sales force in selling the Issuer's IPO. The Sales Memo included a projected income statement for the Issuer , which contained the fraudulent financial projections . 162 . Each Issuer received a copy of the research reports published by the analysts of th e Technology Research Team after the IPO . These reports included a projected income statement fo r the Issuer, with discounted financial projections .
43
MISTATEMENTS AND OMISSIONS IN UNDERWRITER'S SALES MEM O 163 . CSFBC's Sales Memo contained statements regarding the fraudulent understating o f each Issuer's IPO offering price, or offering price range . The Sales Memo was the basis fo r CSFBC's sales pitches to potential buyers of Issuers' stock . . These statements are described wit h particularity for each Issuer in Exhibit E below . 164 . These statements omitted, however, to state the material fact that the discounting o f each Issuer's offering price, or offering price range, was actually greater than was indicated in th e Sales Memo. This is because the discounting as described in the Sales Memo w as based on a comparison of stock prices to estimated revenues (typically called "revenue multiples"), yet the fac t that the estimated future revenues of the Issuer had been additionally discounted was not disclosed . 165 . CSFBC was required to disclose its fraudulent understating of Issuer's estimate d revenues because the omission made the statements regarding the discounting of each Issuer's IP O offering price, or offering price range , misleading by significantly understating the actual discount presented in the Sales Memo. 166 . Additionally, CSFBC 's Sales Memo contained statements regarding the forecaste d revenues of each Issuer, including a projected income statement for each Issuer . These statements are described with particularity for each Issuer in Exhibit E below . 167 . CSFCB omitted to state the material fact that the Issuer-forecasted quarterly and annual revenues had been fraudulently understated to a substantially lower level than the actua l revenues expected by the Issuer , CSFBC, an d the Technology Group (including the researc h analysts) . 168 . The material fact about the additional discounting of each Issuer's forecaste d revenues was a necessary disclosure . Without it, the statements in the Sales Memo regarding th e 44
forecasted revenues of each Issuer were misleading because they significantly understated the actua l amounts of revenues that were expected to be earned by each Issuer . 169 . Fu rther, CSFBC' s Sales Memo contained statements for inducing Investors to purchase Issuer's stock on the proposition that Issuer was going to experience strong and/or increasing revenue growth in their future quarterly revenues . In some instances, theses statement s indicated that the revenue estimates were purposely under-estimated or conservative, but failed t o disclose by how much . 170 . These statements omitted the material fact that the revenue estimates had bee n fraudulently understated to a substantially lower level than the actual revenues expected by th e Issuer, CSFBC, and the Technology Group (including the research analysts), and thus any "upside surprise" that occurred as a result was at least partly fictional and consequently revenue growth wa s not as strong, or increasing as fast, as it appeared to be . 171 . The misstatements and omissions in the Sales Memos, as described above, were made with CSFBC' s actual knowledge. 172 . The misstatements and omissions in the Sales Memos, as described above, were made with each Issuer's actual knowledge .
173 . The statutory safe harbor provided for forward-looking statements under ce rtain circumstances does not apply to any of the allegedly false statements pleaded herein regardin g CSFBC' s Sales Memo because those statements were made in connection with an initial public offering of stock, and such statements are excepted under 15 U.S.C. § 78u-5(b) . 174 . The " Bespeaks Caution " doctrine does not apply to the allegedly false statements pleaded herein . The false statements substantially affected the "total mix" of information provide d to investors, and there were no meaningful reasonably-specific cautionary statements that identified 45
important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the purportedly forward-looking statements ; in addition, the particular speaker knew that the particular forwardlooking statement was false, and/or the forward-looking statement was authorized and/or approved by an executive officer of CSFBC and/or of the Issuer company who knew that those statement s were false when made . MISTATEMENTS AND OMISSIONS IN EACH ISSUER'S PROSPECTU S 175 . Each Issuer's IPO Prospectus contained false statements listing p rincipal factors considered in determining the public offering price . These statements are described with particularity for each Issuer in Exhibit C . 176 . These statements omitted to state the material fact that that CSFBC, the Technolog y Group and each Issuer had knowingly established the proposed fraudulently understated offerin g price range (and consequently the public offering price) at a deep discount compared to CSFBC's , the Technology Group's and the Issuer ' s true belief of the Issuer's actual value . 177 . Defendants were required to disclose their fraudulent understanding of the offerin g price, because that fact was material . Without it, the statements in the Prospectus listing the principal factors considered in determining the public offering price were misleading because the y seriously misrepresented the actual process used to determine each Issuer's offering price . 178 . In addition, each Issuer's Prospectus omitted to state the material fact that thi s discounting had been communicated to select members of the investing public by CSFBC' s sale s staff to create interest in, and subsequently sell the Issuer's IPO . 179 . The information about this should have been disclosed to members of the investin g public . The information was material to the price of the security and by omitting to disclose it in th e
46
Prospectus, investors who relied solely on the statements in the Prospectus (regarding the principal factors considered in determining the public offering price) were defrauded . 180 . CSFBC made the misstatements and omissions in each Issuer's IPO Prospectus, a s described above, with actual knowledge . 181 . The Issuers made the misstatements and omissions in each Issuer's IPO Prospectus , as described above, with actual knowledge . 182 . The statutory safe harbor provided for forward-looking statements under certai n circumstances does not apply to any of the allegedly false statements pleaded herein regarding the Issuers' prospectuses . To the extent , however, that there were any false forward-looking statements , the statutory safe harbor does not apply to any of the allegedly false statements pleaded herei n regarding Issuer's Prospectus because those statements were made in connection with an initia l public offering of stock, and such statements are excepted under 15 U .S.C. § 78u-5(b) of the statute . 183 . The "Bespeaks Caution" doctrine does not apply to the false statements allege d herein. Those statements substantially altered the "total mix" of information provided to investors , and there were no meaningful, reasonably-specific cautionary statements that identified importan t factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the purportedly forwardlooking statements ; in addition, the particular speakers knew that the particular forward-lookin g statements were false, and/or the forward-looking statements were authorized and/or approved b y an executive officer of CSFBC and/ or of the Issuer company who knew that those statements were false when made .
47
MISTATEMENTS AND OMISSIONS IN CSFBC'S RESEARCH REPORT S 184 . CSFBC published research reports for each Issuer that contained statement s discussing the revenues of each Issuer, including a projected income statement for each Issuer . These statements are described with particularity for each Issuer in Exhibit D below . 185 . These statements failed to reveal, however, the material fact that the forecaste d quarterly and annual revenues had been artificially discounted to a substantially lower level than th e actual revenues expected by the Issuer and CSFBC, ( including its research analysts) . 186 . Defendants were required to disclose artificial discounting of each Issuer's revenue s because those revenues were a material fact . Without such disclosures, the statements in th e research reports discussing the forecasted revenues (and the projected income statement) of eac h Issuer were misleading since those statements purport to accurately present the objective beliefs o f its authors . The authors were in fact engaging in a fraudulent scheme to purposely understate th e actual revenues expected to be earned by each Issuer . Investors who relied in good faith upon th e veracity of these forecasts were duped into expecting each Issuer to earn lower revenues than wer e actually expected . 187 . Further, CSFBC made statements within these same research reports about th e strong and/or increasing revenue growth of Issuer, as well as statements that the revenue estimate s for Issuer might be under-estimated, or overly conservative, or likely to be beaten, or susceptible t o an "upside surprise," or some other similar statement suggesting that the revenue estimates were to o low. These statements were misleading because the Defendants knew in fact that the estimates were too low because they had been discounted for the very purpose of creating an "upside surprise " artifice .
48
188 . CSFBC made the misstatements and omissions in the research repo rts, as describerd above, with actual knowledge . 189 . The Issuers had actual knowledge of the misstatements and omissions made b y CSFBC in the research reports, as describerd above . 190 . The statutory safe harbor provided for forward-looking statements under certai n circumstances does not apply to any of the allegedly false statements pleaded herein regardin g CSFBC's Research Reports . Those statements merely repeated or elaborated upon statement s previously made in connection with the initial public offering of each Issuer's stock, but they di d not alter the basis of the falsehoods . . Such statements are excepted from any protection under 1 5 U.S .C. § 78u-5(b) of the statute . 191 . Alternatively, to the degree that the statutory safe harbor applies to any forwardlooking statements pleaded herein, Defendants are still liable because, the speakers knew that th e forward-looking statements were false when issued, and/or the forward-looking statements wer e authorized and/or approved by an executive officer of CSFBC, and/or of the Issuer company wh o knew that those statements were false when made . In addition, there were no meaningfu l cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to diffe r materially from those in the purportedly forward-looking statements . 192 . The "Bespeaks Caution" doctrine does not apply to the false statements allege d herein, because those statements substantially affected the "total mix" of information provided t o investors, and there were no meaningful reasonably-specific cautionary statements that identifie d important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the purportedl y forward-looking statements . In addition, the speakers knew that the forward-looking statement s were false, and/or the forward-looking statements were authorized and/or approved by an executiv e 49
officer of CSFBC and/or of the Issuer company, who knew that those statements were false whe n made . FRAUDULENT SCHEME AND DECEITFUL COURSE OF BUSINES S 193 . The fraudulent misstatements and omissions described in paragraphs 163-192 abov e and incorporated herein were individual components of the Conspirators' larger fraudulent schem e described above in paragraphs 1-3 above, and incorporated herein . 194 . CSFBC, as the center and nexus of the conspiracy, engaged in this fraudulent scheme in its regular course of business, including the development of standardized practices an d models to assist their scheme . 195 . CSFBC repeated this fraudulent scheme with each new Issuer 's IPO performed by its Technology Group . By virtue of its repetition, this fraudulent scheme became a deceitful cours e of business for CSFBC . MATERIALITY OF FRAUD 196 . CSFBC made misstatements in its Sales Memo for each Issuer . CSFBC misstate d the actual process by which it determined each Issuer's IPO offering price or price range, and i t omitted the fact that the discounting it described in the Sales Memo was actually greater than wa s indicated . These statements and omissions were material because there was a substantial likelihoo d that a reasonable investor would consider the misstated and/or withheld information to b e significant since that information directly concerned the price at which the IPO was being offered . 197 . CSFBC, in each Issuer 's Sales Memo , also made material misstatements and omissions regarding the Issuer's forecasted revenues . CSFBC misstated the actual revenu e forecasts for each Issuer, and omitted the fact that it and the Issuer had artificially and substantiall y discounted their revenue forecasts for the Issuer . These misstatements and omissions were materia l 50
because it was substantially likely that a reasonable investor would consider the information tha t was misstated and/or withheld significant because that information directly concerned the financia l prospects of the Issuer's company, and those prospects were a material basis for determining th e price of the Issuer's stock . 198 . CSFBC and each Issuer made mate rial misstatements and omissions in Issuer's IP O Prospectus regarding the factors considered in establishing the Issuer's public offering price . CSFBC and each Issuer omitted to disclose the fact that they had knowingly established th e proposed offering price range (and consequently the public offering price) at a substantial discoun t compared to their belief of Issuer's actual market value . These misstatements and omissions were material because it was substantially likely that a reas onable investor would consider th e information significant since that information directly concerned the price at which the stock wa s offered . 199 . In conjunction with the misstatements and omissions described immediately above , CSFBC also omitted to disclose the fact that the discounting process had been communicated by it s sales staff to select members of the investing public to create interest in, and subsequently sell th e Issuer 's IPO . This omission was material because there was a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would have found this withheld information significant since it bore directly o n the price at which the IPO was offered and the prices at which the stock would trade after the IPO . CSFBC, in the published research repo rts for each Issuer , made material misstatements and omissions . CSFBC misstated the forecasted revenues for each Issuer ( including the projecte d income statement for each Issuer) and omitted the fact that these forecasts had been artificiall y discounted to a substantially lower level than the actually expected revenues . These misstatement s and omissions were material because there was a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor 51
would consider the information significant because it directly concerned the financial prospects o f the Issuer's company, and those prospects were a material basis for determining the price of Issuer' s stock . 200. The fraudulent misstatements and omissions were individual components of the Conspirators ' larger fraudulent scheme (involving "Pop and Perform ance").
The intende d
combined effect of the Conspirators' fraud was to directly affect the price of an Issuer's stock b y falsely causing the stock price to jump substantially on the day of the IPO and then falsely causing i t to continue to rise and/or to sustain its growth in subsequent months . Consequently, it wa s substantially likely that a reasonable investor would consider the misstated and/or withhel d information significant since the scheme directly affected the price of the stock . RELIANCE AND TRANSACTION CAUSATIO N 201 . Each Issuer and CSFBC ( as underwriter for each Issuer 's IPO), had a fiduciary dut y to the investing public, in connection with each Issuer's IPO . Each had a fiduciary duty to offe r truthful and accurate information in the statements disseminated about the Issuer in conjunctio n with the IPO . In addition, each had a fiduciary duty to state any material fact that was necessary t o assure that the statements made were not misleading, in light of the circumstances in which the y were made . The misstatements and omissions by each Issuer and CSFBC in CSFBC' s Sales Memo breached that fiduciary duty . Plaintiffs and other members of the Class reasonably relied on th e integrity of those statements and would not have purchased the Issuer's stock at the prices they paid , or at all, if they had been aware that the market prices had been artificially and falsely inflated by Defendants' misleading statements and purposely concealed omissions . 202 . In addition, or in the alternative , the misstatements and omissions by CSFBC and each Issuer in CSFBC's Sales were used to create a market for each Issuer's stock in its IPO . 52
Plaintiffs and the other members of the Class reasonably relied on that information to create a n accurate price for the securities in advance of their being publicly traded, and would not hav e purchased the Issuer's stock at the prices paid, or at all, had they been aware that the market price s had been artificially and falsely inflated by Defendants' misleading statements and purposel y concealed omissions . 203 . Each Issuer and CSFBC (as underwriter for each Issuer's IPO), had a fiduciary dut y to offer truthful and accurate information in the statements disseminated about the Issuer in conjunction with the IPO, and to not omit to state any mate rial fact necessary to make those statements made, in light of the circumstances made, not misleading . The misstatements and omissions made by each Issuer and CSFBC in the Issuer's IPO breached that fiduciary duty . Plaintiffs and the other members of the Class reasonably relied on the integrity of those statement s and would not have purchased the Issuer's stock at the prices they paid, or at all, had they been aware that the market prices had been artificially and falsely inflated by Defendants' misleadin g statements and purposely concealed omissions . 204. In addition, or in the alternative, the misstatements and omissions made by each Issuer and CSFBC in the Issuer's IPO were used to create a market for each Issuer's stock in it s IPO . Plaintiffs and the other members of the Class reasonably relied on that information to create a fair price for the securities in advance of their being publicly traded, and would not have purchase d Issuer's stock at the prices they paid, or at all . if they had been aware that the market prices ha d been artificially and falsely inflated by Defendants ' misleading statements and purposely concealed omissions . 205. CSFBC had a fiduciary duty to the investing public to offer truthful and accurat e information in the statements it disseminated about each Issuer, and to not omit to state any materia l
53
fact necessary to make those statements made , in light of the circumstances made , not misleading . Likewise, each Issuer had an identical duty where it either co-authored statements with CSFBC, or was substantially entangled with CSFBC in the dissemination and/or creation of statements . The misstatements and omissions made by each Issuer and CSFBC in CSFBC 's research reports breached that fiduciary duty . Plaintiffs and the other members of the Class reasonably relied on th e integrity of those statements and would not have purchased the Issuer's stock at the prices they paid , or at all, had they been aware that the market prices had been artificially and falsely inflated b y Defendants' misleading statements and purposely concealed omissions . 206 . In addition, or in the alte rnative , the misstatements an d omissions by CSFBC an d each Issuer in CSFBC's research reports destroyed the integrity of the market for Issuer's stock . Plaintiffs and the other members of the Class reasonably relied on the integrity of the market fo r Issuer's stock and would not have purchased Issuer's stock at the prices they paid, or at all, if they had been aware that the market prices had been artificially and falsely inflated by Defendants ' misleading statements and purposely concealed omissions . LOSS CAUSATION 207. By reason of Defendants' false and misleading statements and omissions , the price of the Issuers' common stock was artificially inflated throughout the Class Period and all person s who purchased such stock during the Class Period, including Plaintiffs and the members of th e Class, were damaged by paying artificially inflated prices . 208. During the class period, the market value of technology IPO Stocks were based o n forecasted (forward) revenues (and/or Revenue Multiples) . As stated by CSFBC in their Researc h Reports and Sales Memos regarding Issuers' stocks :
54
[T]he market, which currently is valuing stocks based on revenu e multiples . . . (CSFBC .' Research Report: CacheFlow, Inc., 12/15/1999 ) "Like many high growth communications equipment and technolog y IPOs, [Issuer's] value is based on forward revenue multiples ."
(CSFB
Sales Memo : C'acheFlow, Inc ., 11/1999)
209. During the class period, stock prices of technology IPO Stocks rose because their actual results exceeded or beat revenue forecasts . Because CSFBC and the Issuers rigged the system, the market reacted favorably to revised projections . As stated by CSFBC in their Research Reports and Sales Memos regarding Issuers' stocks : "We believe there is material upside to our forecasts over the next few years and are therefore relatively comfo rtable paying an outsized multiple today, for the prospect of future upside"
(CSFBC Research Report :
Efficient Networks, Inc., 8/9/1999) "Reasons to Own the Stock . . . . We believe there is material upside to our forecasts over the next few years and are therefore relatively comfo rtable paying an outsized multiple today, for the prospect of future upside ." (CSFBC Research Report : Efficient Networks, Inc., 10/11/1999 ) "Given the current trading range of the stock we would be a buyer of [Issuer] on weakness , but expect our price target could rise as the potential for revenue upside remains very strong ."
(CSFBC Research Report :
CacheFlow, Inc ., 1211511999 ) "Stock is probably slightly ahead of itself but believe news flows over the next few months will be positive and upside to revenue targets ve ry probable given strong momentum . . ." (CSFBC Research Report: Efficient Networks, Inc., 8/26/1999) 55
"We believe that potential upcoming catalysts include : - Revenue ahead of our upwardly revised expectations ." (CSFBC Research Report : Handspring Inc., 1 /17/2001 ) 210. During the class period, stock prices of technology IPO Stocks rose in anticipatio n of forecasts being exceeded by actual results . As stated by CSFBC in their Research Reports an d Sales Memos regarding Issuers' stocks : "Given steady price appreciation since the IPO, we believe current price levels factor in some of the near-term upside created by an aggressive ramp-up in sales . . ."
(CSFBC Research Report : Handspring Inc.,
7/17/2000 ) 211 . CSFBC and the Issuers, by means of the misstatements and omissions, and also by the general fraud, manipulated the revenue forecasts of each Issuer so that the Issuer's actual result s would continually exceed the forecasts . 212. CSFBC' s and the Issuers' manipulation of revenues , as part of their artifice and deceptive scheme, could not continue indefinitely . This was due partly to the fact that the origina l revenue forecast established and disseminated for Issuer were set at the IPO, and the discountin g was based only upon information available at the IPO . Further, as CSFBC revised its forecasts t o create a spike, the revised forecasts began to approximate to actual performance until the tw o merged and there was no further room for an upside surprise . 213 . When each Issuer failed to continue the trend which had been established since th e IPO of consecutively an d sequentially posting actual revenue results that exceeded those which had been forecasted, the fraud effectively ended and purchasers of the inflated stocks were damaged . 214. Each Issuer's stock price suffered substantially from the discontinuation of thi s fictitious, and fraudulently created, trend of revenue outperformance relative to forecasts . 56
CS AND CSG AIDED AND ABETTED CSFBC'S FRAU D 215 . As detailed below and incorporated herein by reference , the CSFBC violated Sectio n 10(b) of the Exchange Act, 15 U .S .C . Section 78j(b), and SEC Rule I Ob-5 promulgated thereunder. This violation was independent of CS and CSG . 216 . At all relevant times, CS had a direct and active relationship with QBB and also th e Technology Group . CS directly employed QBB and simultaneously employed the remainder of th e Technology Group through CS's and CSG's wholly owned subsidiaries . In addition, the contract with
QBB provided for CS's direct, active, and continuing investment in the activities of QBB and th e Technology Group by requiring CS to create and fund venture investment funds for (and with) QBB an d the Technology Group . 217 . CS subsequently created those venture investment funds for (and with ) QBB and th e Technology Group, invested substantial sums of monies (at least $75 million) in those funds, and share d the profits from those funds (by written agreement ) with QBB and the Technology Group . 218 . CS conducted these venture investment fund activities with QBB and the Technolog y Group through its wholly owned subsidiary Merchant Capital . At all relevant times, the materia l commitments and capital outlays of Merchant Capital were reviewed and/or authorized by CS an d CSG's Board of Directors. Prior to January of 2000 , Merchant Capital's Board of Directors consiste d
entirely of executive officers and board members of CS and CSG-- including Allen Wheat (th e Chairman of the Executive Board of CS, as well as the Chief Executive Officer of CS and member o f CSG's Executive Board), John M . Hennessy (the Chairman of Private Equity of CS and member o f CSG's Board ), and David A . DeNunzio ( the Head of Private Equity of CS) . In January of 2000, th e board membership was expanded to include Richard Thornburgh (the Vice Chairman of the Executiv e Board of CS, the Chief Financial Officer of CS and CSG, and member of CSG' s Board of Directors),
Charles Ward (a member of the Executive Board of CS, and the Co-Head of Investment Banking an d 57
Private Equity for CS), and Edward Nadel (in-house consel and a member of the Legal and Compliance Department of CS and Private Equity of CS) . At all relevant times, CS and CSG had knowledge of, directed, and authorized the activities of Merchant Capital through their common executive officers and directors on the board of Merchant Capital . 219 . Although the initial funds were set up as coinvestments between CS and QBB, C S loaned QBB monies for their portion of the venture investment funds . CS authorized and allowed QBB and the Technology Group to make their first venture investment directly through one of its subsidiaries, Merchant Capital, and CS co-mingled the stock held on behalf of QBB and CS in this subsidiary with its own stock . In addition, CS sold and/or transferred stock it owned in its own subsidiaries to the venture funds of QBB and the Technology Group . CS at all times, by virtue of contractual provision, had advance notice of the venture fund investments made by QBB and the Technology Group ; further, CS at all times had the authority and power to prevent those investments and to terminate the funds .
220 . These funds were instrumental to the Technology Group's overall fraudulent scheme, because inter alia, they allowed the Technology Group to curry favor with potential clients of its IPO services, and allowed the members of the Technology Group to profit directly from their fraudulent activities . 221 . CS and CSG had a general awareness that its role was part of an overall activity that wa s improper . Executive members and/or senior managers of CS had raised concerns about the propriety and/or legality of these employee venture funds . Instead of curtailing these activities, however, CS attempted to structure the funds to distance itself from those activities in an unsuccessful attempt to avoid liability .
222 . As acknowledged by the concerns voiced by the executive officers and/or senior managers of CS (including concerns about conflicts of interest), these venture fund transactions were not part of CS or CSG's normal course of business . Prior to investing in these venture investment fund s 58
with QBB and the Technology Group, upon information and belief, CS and CSG had not engaged in business arrangements with its employees whereby CS or CSG co-invested with and/or permitted its employees (or employees of its subsidiaries), who had decision-making responsibilities regarding the underwriting of securities for corporate clients of CS (or its subsidiaries) and/or advisory relationships with corporate clients of CS (or its subsidiaries) to be direct investors in those same corporate clients . 223 . CS or CSG knew or should have known that the investments were improper, because CS and CSG had a special duty to the investing public by virtue of their underwriting, investment advisory, and broker-dealer operations . In addition, CS and CSG knew or should have known that its continuing support and financing of QBB and the Technology Group would be relied upon by th e investing public because CS's special duties to them included adequate supervision of these subgroups to ensure compliance with all applicable rules and regulations . To the extent that CS was silent, and failed to disclose the fraud or improper activities, it was at all times under a duty to disclose these for the reasons stated above . 224 . CS knowingly and substantially assisted QBB and the Technology Goup in their fraudulent scheme . CS, despite its knowledge of impropriety, committed the following acts : (1) CS established and continued to operate the initial venture funds before alternative structures were proposed, (2) CS continued to establish and operate new venture funds utilizing the alternative structures, (3) CS appointed a member of QBB (specifically, Frank Quattrone) to the Board of its sam e subsidiary (Merchant Capital) which it used to provide capital to these venture funds, (4) CS directed its subsidiary (Merchant Capital) to continue and expand its venture fund activities with QBB and the Technology Group, including the formation of new employee venture funds, and (5) CS created special sub-committees in its subsidiary (Merchant Capital) for the purposes of managing newly formed venture funds with the Technology Group and QBB .
59
225 . These activities by the common board members of CSG and Merchant Capital represented a knowing and substantial assistance to the fraudulent activities of the Technology Group, and were undertaken with CSG's actual knowledge or general awareness of the activities of the Technology Group . CSG, despite its knowledge of impropriety, authorized the following acts : (1 ) Merchant Capital to establish and continue to operate the initial venture funds before alte rn ative structures were proposed (2) Merchant Capital to establish and operate new venture funds utilizing the alte rnative structures ( or a variant thereof) proposed by outside counsel , (3) the appointment of a member of QBB (specifically , Frank Quatt rone ) to Merchant Capital 's Board , (4) Merchant Capital to continue and expand its venture fund activities with QBB and the Technology Group , including the formation of new employee venture funds , and (5) Merchant Capital ' s creation of special subcommi ttees for the purposes of managing newly formed venture funds with the Technology Group and QBB . 226 . Fu rther , at all relevant times, QBB and the Technology Group could not have ca rried out or continued their fraudulent scheme without CS and CSG' s explicit involvement . In addition, CS and CSG at all times had the authority and power to prevent the venture fund activities of the Technology Group and QBB, to terminate existing venture funds with them , to prevent future investments by those venture funds , and to terminate the employment of QBB , the Technology Group collectively , and any employee of the Technology Group individually . 227 . CS and CSG are a highly regulated entities, and some of their duties extend from that status .
CS and CSG were severely reckless in these duties or reckelessly disregarded them for the
reasons stated above . CS and CSG's reckless conduct included ignoring the truth in the face of false representations .

INSIDER TRADING IN THE AFTERMARKET BY CSFB C 228. After each IPO, the Bank Defendants sold the Issuer's stock that the Bank Defendants had purchased prior to the IPO through venture capital investments by the hedge fund s established by QBB and the Technology Group, and/or through other venture capital affiliates of th e Bank Defendants . 229. At the time that the Bank Defendants sold the Issuer stock that they had bought preIPO as described above, they were in possession of material, non-public information affecting the price of the publicly traded stock . 230 . The Bank Defendants were in possession of this material information both from their fiduciary role as the underwriter of each Issuer's IPO and from their complicity with eac h Issuer in the public dissemination of fraudulent information regarding the expected financia l performance of the Issuer. The dissemination of fraudulent information included the publication o f research reports by CSFBC and/or the Technology Group's research analysts that knowingly contained fraudulent information . 231 . The material information possessed by the Bank Defendants at the time of thei r stock sales included : a. That CSFBC and the Issuer had established the initial forecasted revenues tha t would be maintained and disseminated to the public by CSFBCB' s research analysts at a substantially lower level than the actual level of expected revenues which the Issuer compan y expected to earn, and CSFBC expected the Issuer company to earn, in the respective periods, suc h that actual reported revenues would exceed the forecasted revenues and thus create the fiction of a n "upside surprise ."
61
b. that the Issuer company had performed better than the research analyst s projections, in accordance with the scheme. c. that these artificial upside surprises were material, and had a positive effect o n the publicly traded stock price . d. that where multiple quarterly periods had been reported with these artificia l upside surprises, the positive effect on the publicly traded stock price had been cumulative . e. And also, that upward estimate revisions of forward quarterly and/or annual estimates of revenues and/or earnings that had occurred in the interim period since the origina l estimates disseminated in conjunction with the IPO, or immediately after the IPO, were artificia l because the upward revisions had been pre-planned prior to the dissemination of the origina l estimates and the original revenue projections had been discounted to such an extent as to allow no t only the Issuer company to beat the initial expectations, but also to allow the analyst to make multiple upward revisions to their published revenue projections which the Issuer company coul d continue to beat sequentially . f. that these artificial upward estimate revisions of forward quarterly and/or annual estimates of revenues an d/or earnings were material , and had a positive effect on the publicly trade d stock price . g. that where multiple artificial upward estimate revisions of forward quarterl y and/or annual estimates of revenues and/or earnings had occurred, the positive effect on the publicl y traded stock price had been cumulative . h. that the price at which the Underwriter was selling its Pre-IPO stock to th e public in the aftermarket was inflated by the positive effect of the artificial upside surprises and an y artificial upward estimate revisions . 62
232 . The Bank Defendants sold the Issuers' stock that they had purchased pre-IPO to th e public marketplace in the aftermarket period at prices that were inflated by these materia l misrepresentations . The Bank Defendants had knowledge of these material misrepresentations, an d were complicit in them, but the fact of the misrepresentations was unknown to the public marketplace . INSIDER TRADING IN THE FOLLOW-ON (SECONDARY) OFFERING BY THE ISSUE R 233 . This subsection applies only to those Issuers who had Secondary Offerings, as identified in Exhibit B ("Secondary Offerings") below . 234 . At the time of each Issuer's Secondary Offering, the Issuer possessed (through it s executive officers and/or directors) material, non-public information affecting the price of tha t Issuer 's publicly traded stock . 235. The Issuers sold some of their stock in the Secondary Offering at a price that wa s inflated by these material misrepresentations . Each Issuer had knowledge of these materia l misrepresentations, and were complicit in them, but the fact of the misrepresentations was unknown to the public marketplace . PURPOSEFUL DESTRUCTION OF EVIDENCE OF WRONGDOIN G 236. In anticipation of litigation, and to eliminate evidence of wrongdoing, members o f the Technology Group, at the direction of its senior management, purposely destroyed records, files , and other relevant evidence relating to the violations of securities laws alleged in this complaint . 237. On December 5, 2000, Quattrone circulated an e-mail within the Technology Grou p urging the destruction of documents by the Technology Group due to a pending investigation .
63
238. Despite circulation of a memo by CSFBC' s counsel decrying document destruction, upon information and belief, CSFCB condoned the continued destruction of evidence . In fact, afte r circulation of the CSFBC December 5, 2000 memo, a copy of the memo urging destruction wa s taped to the Technology Group shredder, where it remained despite the memo by CSFBC' s counsel . KNOWINGLY FALSE STATEMENTS- JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILIT Y 239. The Defendants and each of them are jointly and severally liable for the alleged fraud, since, as discussed in the paragraphs above, each of them knowingly made misstatements an d omissions and each of them knew that the Plaintiffs and other Members of the Class were likely t o reasonably rely on them . 240. Therefore, the exception provided for in the Private Securities Litigation and Refor m Act ("PSLRA") which maintains that parties who make knowingly false statements in connection with securities fraud are to be held jointly and severally liable for liability in connection with tha t fraud applies herein .

misleading to Plaintiffs and other Class members . The purposes and effect of said scheme was to create the illusion of ever rising stock prices so that Bank Defendants could profit from the sale o f resulting over-priced securities owned by them, profit from increased underwriting and marke t making fees resulting from the price manipulation, and induce Plaintiffs and the members of th e Class to purchase common stock at artificially inflated prices . 244 . During the Class Period, the Bank Defendants, pursuant to said plan, scheme, an d unlawful conspiracy and course of conduct, knowingly and recklessly issued, caused to be issued , and participated in the issuance of false and misleading statements to the investing public whic h were contained in the various documents and releases specified herein, and failed to disclos e material facts to the investing public . 245 .

In ignorance of the purposeful scheme designed, inter alia, to creat e the expectation of ever rising stock prices, which was concealed by the Bank Defendants, Plaintiff s and the members of the Class purchased Issuer securities at artificially inflated prices relying upo n the integrity of the securities markets and were damaged thereby . 249 . Had Plaintiffs and the members of the Class known of the materially advers e information not disclosed by the Bank Defendants, they would not have purchased the securities of Issuer at all or, if so, not at the artificially inflated prices they did . 250. By virtue of the foregoing, the Bank Defendants each violated Section 10(b) of th e Exchange Act and Rule I Ob- 5 promulgated thereunder . 251 .

INDEX KEY: For Exhibits C, D , & E
"+ESTIMATES " -- Fraudulent Revenue Estimate s These statements, in both the Sales Memos and also the Research Reports, omitted to reveal the material fact that the forecasted revenues had been artificially discounted to a substantially lower level than the actual revenues expected by the Issuer, CSFBC, and the Technology Group (including the research analysts) . The material fact of the artificial discounting of the Issuer's forecasted revenues was a necessary disclosure . Without it, these statements in the research reports discussing the forecasted revenues (and the projected income statement) of each Issuer were misleading since they purport to accurately present the objective beliefs of its author(s) . The author(s) were in fact engaging in a fraudulent scheme to purposely understate the actual revenues expected to be earned by the Issuer . This fraudulent understatement of revenues complemented other statements made by them about the Issuer regarding the Issuer's prospects for strong and/or increasing revenue growth, so as to have the overall effect of creating the false appearance that Issuer was legitimately exceeding expectations, and thus result in public market being conditioned to expect "upside surprises' in Issuer's future revenue performance . These misstatements and/or omissions were made with CSFBC and the Issuer' s actual knowledge .
"+SURPRISES " -- Fraudulent Statement of Surpris e These statements are fraudulent because the Technology Group (including the research analysts), CSFBC, and the Issuer Defendant fully expected actual revenues to exceed the artificially discounted estimates . The material fact that the actual expectation of the Technology Group (including the research analysts), CSFBC, and the Issuer Defendant was that the Issuer would exceed the revenue estimate was a necessary disclosure . Without it, these statements were misleading since these statements purport to accurately present the objective beliefs of its author(s) . The author(s)were in fact fully expecting that the revenue estimate would be exceeded by the actual results since they were engaging in a fraudulent scheme to purposely understate the expected revenues . These fraudulent statements of surprise complemented other statements made about an Issuer suggesting that the revenue estimates might be under-estimated, or overly conservative, or likely to be beaten, or susceptible to an "upside surprise," or some other similar statement suggesting that the revenue estimates were too low. By conditioning the market with these latter types of statements, and then having the Issuer actually beat expectations and publishing statements of surprise or confidence at the outperformance, the sum-effect was to condition the public market to expect "upside surprises' in Issuer's future revenue performance. These misstatements and/or omissions were made with CSFBC and the Issuer' s actual knowledge .

"+REVISIONS " -- Fraudulent Revisions of Revenue Statemen t These statements are fraudulent because the Technology Group (including the research analysts), CSFBC, and the Issuer Defendant fully expected actual revenues to exceed the artificially discounted estimates . The statements correcting forecasted revenues based on the fraudulent "surprises" failed to disclose the material fact that the new forecasts still included a substantial artificial discounting compared to the actual revenues expected . Further, in many instances, the statements upwardly revising the forecasted revenue expectations had been pre-planned fraudulently . The material fact that the upward revisions were not the result of an unexpected event, but were rather pre-planned, and/or that the actual expectation was that the Issuer would exceed even the new revenue estimate, was a necessary disclosure . Without it, these statements were misleading since these statements purport to accurately present the objective beliefs of its author(s) . The author(s) in fact fully expected that the new revenue estimate would be exceeded by the actual results since they continued to engage in a fraudulent scheme to purposely understate the expected revenues . These fraudulent statements of surprise complemented other statements made about an Issuer suggesting that the revenue estimates might be under-estimated, or overly conservative, or likely to be beaten, or susceptible to an "upside surprise," or some other similar statement suggesting that the revenue estimates were too low . By conditioning the market with these latter types of statements, and then having the Issuer actually beat expectations-only to publish statements of surprise or confidence at the outperformance-- the sum-effect was to condition the public market to expect "upside surprises' in Issuer's future revenue performance . These misstatements and/or omissions were made with CSFBC and the Issuer' s actual knowledge .
"+CAUTIONARY " -- Fraudulent Correction of Revenue Statemen t These were statements by an analyst about an Issuer which suggested that the revenue estimates might be under-estimated, or overly conservative, or likely to be beaten, or susceptible to an "upside surprise," or some other similar statement suggesting that the revenue estimates were too low . The material fact that the actual expectation of the Technology Group (including the research analysts), CSFBC, and the Issuer Defendant was that the Issuer would exceed the revenue estimate, as well as the material fact that the revenue estimates had been purposely, and fraudulently discounted to ensure that they would be exceeded were both necessary disclosures . Without them, these statements were misleading since these statements purported to accurately present the objective beliefs of its author(s) . The author(s)were in fact fully expecting that the revenue estimate would be exceeded by the actual results since they were engaging in a fraudulent scheme to purposely understate the expected revenues . These fraudulent statements of surprise complemented other statements made about an Issuer, as described above and incorporated herein, and had the sum-effect o f Index Key For Exhibits C, D, E Pg#2of3
conditioning the public market to expect "upside surprises" in Issuer's future revenue performanc e These misstatements and/or omissions were made with CSFBC and the Issuer' s actual knowledge .
"+GROWTH" -- Fraudulent Correction of Revenue Statemen t These statements are fraudulent because they omitted to reveal the material fact that the forecasted revenues had been artificially discounted to a substantially lower level than the actual revenues expected by the Issuer, CSFBC, and the Technology Group (including the research analysts) . The combination of this omission with these statements had the overall effect of creating the false appearance that Issuer was legitimately exceeding expectations, and thus the public market was conditioned to expect "upside surprises" in Issuer's future revenue performance . These misstatements and/or omissions were made with CSFBC and the Issuer's actual knowledge .
"+IPO Discount " -- Fraudulent Correction of Revenue Statemen t These statements are fraudulent because, et al ., they are not fully disclosed to the public, nor were they disclosed in the prospectus for the Issuer's IPO . These statements about the discounting were made through CS and/or CSFBC's sales staff only to select members of the investing public . As a result of these select disclosures regarding the discounting, there was informational asymmetry between "in the know" buyers and other buyers . These misstatements and/or omissions were made with CSFBC and the Issuer' s actual knowledge .
"+BASIS" -- Fraudulent Correction of Revenue Statemen t These statements are not necessarily fraudulent ; however, they demonstrate the Defendant's true belief that the prices of Issuers' stocks were primarily influenced by the perception of Issuer's prospects for revenue growth .

2 Factoring in the 40-50 new design wins this quarter and total billable hours for its 225 chargeable employees (discussed in our Dec . 2 note from th e CSFB Annual Technology Conference), we derive potential revenue of $14-18MM . While we think it will be several quarters to get up to that ru n rate, it does imply that Bsquare is likely to come out ahead of our 10 .5MM revenue forecast . +Estimate s

Fraudulen t Statement
In April of 2000, when Corillian went public, 2000 and 2001 revenue estimates were only $18 .3 million and $37 .9 million, respectively . Actua l revenue for 2000 came in 62% above the original estimate at $29 .7 million (excluding Hatcher), and our estimate for 2001 (excluding Hatcher) stand at $57 million today- a testament to the company's high level of execution in a short period of time .

June 12, 200 0 3- 4 Based upon the company's strong bookings trends, recent design wins and success in scaling manufacturing, we would assign a high probabilit y to New Focus exceeding our top-line estimates by a significant margin during the foreseeable future . The magnitude of the out performanc e could actually increase in the December quarter of 2000 and into 2001 as the company achieves scale manufacturing in China and successfull y introduces new products . Significant top-line surprises will also spark lower losses through an enhanced gross profit margin performance an d significant operating leverage . +Cautionar y
