About the Lawsuit

The lawsuit alleges that beginning at least as early as August 2007, NVIDIA knew that its graphics chipsets were defective and caused notebook computers to overheat. Prior to the start of the Class Period, NVIDIA was in active discussions with its main customers, Hewlett-Packard (“HP”) and Dell Incorporated (“Dell”), about how to cure problems with its chips on both a short and long term basis. Nevertheless, NVIDIA failed to disclose to its shareholders and the public that its products were defective.

By the close of the quarter ended October 28, 2007, NVIDIA’s knowledge of the problems associated with its malfunctioning graphics chipsets required that a reserve be established for a loss contingency under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). However, Defendants refused to establish this reserve. As a result, Defendants artificially inflated NVIDIA’s net income by 83 percent in the quarter ended October 28, 2007; 24.6 percent for the fiscal year ended January 27, 2008; and 111 percent for the quarter ended April 27, 2008.
