DOYLESTOWN, Pa., April 4, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Hoffman & Edelson, LLC today announced that it has filed a class action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia on behalf of purchasers of the securities of InterCept, Inc. ("InterCept" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:ICPT) during the period from September 16, 2002 through January 9, 2003, inclusive (the "Class Period"), and who suffered damages thereby, against InterCept and certain of its officers and directors.
The Complaint alleges that defendants violated the federal securities laws by issuing a series of materially false and misleading statements and/or by omitting to make material disclosures throughout the Class Period thereby artificially inflating the marketplace of the Company's securities.
If you purchased the securities of InterCept during the Class Period, you may, no later than May 2, 2003, request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. A lead plaintiff is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, you must meet certain legal requirements. Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as lead plaintiff. You may retain Hoffman & Edelson, LLC, or other counsel of your choice, to serve as your counsel in this action.
If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights with respect to this matter, please contact Jerold B. Hoffman at Hoffman & Edelson, LLC, 45 W. Court Street, Doylestown, PA 18901 at 877-537-6532 (toll free), fax number 215-230-8735 or by e-mail at jhoffman@hofedlaw.com.
