In a recently filed federal class action complaint, iGate and its CEO, Phaneesh Murthy, were charged with violating certain provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Specifically, the complaint alleges that among other things, defendants' misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (a) the Company's CEO and President was involved in an improper relationship with a subordinate employee in violation of iGate's explicit policies to the contrary; and (b) Murthy's improper conduct created a risk that he would be terminated from the Company, jeopardizing the Company's future success. Further, the complaint alleges that the share price dropped substantially when the Company disclosed that it terminated Murthy after an internal investigation revealed that he had an improper relationship with an employee in violation of company policies.

Shareholder rights attorney Willie Briscoe said, "Recent revelations about alleged improper business practices and procedures regarding key aspects of iGate's business and other misleading financial statements have prompted the firms to investigate possible breaches of fiduciary duties and other violations of state law by iGate's officers and directors. Based on our investigation, we are prepared to pursue litigation to preserve the company and the value of iGate stock for all shareholders."
