SAN DIEGO, June 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP ("Robbins Geller") (http://www.rgrdlaw.com/cases/ruckus/) today announced
that a class action has been commenced on behalf of holders of Ruckus Wireless, Inc. ("Ruckus") (NASDAQ:RKUS) common stock on
April 28, 2016, in connection with the proposed acquisition of Ruckus by Brocade Communications
Systems, Inc. ("Brocade"). This action was filed in the Northern District of California
and is captioned Hussey v. Ruckus Wireless, Inc., et al., No. 16-cv-02991.
If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than 60 days from May
31, 2016. If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or
interests, please contact plaintiff's counsel, Darren Robbins of Robbins Geller at 800/449-4900 or 619/231-1058, or via e-mail at djr@rgrdlaw.com. If you are a member of this class, you can
view a copy of the complaint as filed or join this class action online at http://www.rgrdlaw.com/cases/ruckus/. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead
plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.
The complaint charges Ruckus, its Board of Directors and Chief Financial Officer (together the "Individual Defendants") and
Brocade and one of its subsidiaries, Stallion Merger Sub Inc. ("Stallion"), with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 ("1934 Act"). Ruckus delivers wireless in challenging indoor and outdoor environments for more than 65,300 enterprise,
service provider, government and small business customers worldwide.
On April 4, 2016, Ruckus and Brocade announced a definitive merger agreement (the "Merger
Agreement") under which Ruckus would be acquired by Brocade for $6.45 per share in cash and 0.75
shares of Brocade common stock per Ruckus share (the "Proposed Acquisition") via and exchange offer (the "Exchange Offer").
The Exchange Offer, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, was launched by Stallion on April 29, 2016,
and will expire on May 27, 2016, unless extended. Following the completion of the Exchange
Offer, Stallion will be merged with and into the Company (the "Merger"), and Ruckus will be a wholly owned subsidiary of
Brocade.
The complaint alleges that Brocade has promised different and increased consideration to the Individual Defendants in
violation of §14(d)(7) of the 1934 Act and Rule 14d-10 promulgated thereunder. In addition, the complaint alleges that the
Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 filed by the defendants with the SEC on April 29,
2016 ("14D-9") contains material omissions and/or misstatements in contravention of §14(e) of the 1934 Act. The
14D-9, which recommends that Ruckus shareholders tender their shares to Brocade, includes material omissions and/or misstatements
concerning the potential and/or actual conflicts of interest present in the process leading to the Proposed Acquisition, the
Company's inherent value, and the fairness analyses performed by the Company's financial advisor. Without this material
information, Ruckus shareholders are prevented from making a fully informed decision as to the adequacy of the Exchange Offer and
whether to tender their shares.
Plaintiff seeks injunctive and equitable relief and damages on behalf of holders of Ruckus common stock on April 28, 2016. The plaintiff is represented by Robbins Geller, which has extensive experience in
prosecuting investor class actions including actions involving financial fraud.
