If you purchased American Depository Shares of Nokia during this time period, you may move the Court to serve as a plaintiff in this class action. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court for appointment by April 6, 2010. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

On February 5, 2010, a class action complaint was filed alleging that Nokia and certain officers and executives issued positive statements about new product launches without reasonable basis, due to supply shortages and manufacturing problems. The complaint also alleges that Nokia was losing market share due to intense price cuts by competitors. The complaint further alleges that Nokia slashed their average selling price to maintain its market share due to severe price competition, stating that they expected the overall industry average selling price to decline in 2008.

On September 5, 2008, Nokia announced its first quarter 2008 outlook for its mobile device market share. Later that day, the company stated in a conference call that there was a production glitch with a mid-range device and aggressive price cuts by some rivals. On this news, Nokia American Depository Shares dropped approximately 8%.
