According to theletter, Raju admitted to having inflated the amount of cash on theCompany's balance sheet by nearly $1 billion, incurring liability of $253million on funds arranged by him personally, and overstating Satyam'sSeptember 2008 quarterly revenues by 76% and profits by 97%. As a resultof this disclosure, the Company's ADRs fell $8.42, or 90%, prior to theopening of the New York Stock Exchange, which has suspended trading inSatyam's ADRs.

If you are a member of the class, you may, no later than March 9, 2009,request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff of the class. A leadplaintiff is a class member that acts on behalf of other class members indirecting the litigation. Although your ability to share in any recoveryis not affected by the decision whether or not to seek appointment as alead plaintiff, lead plaintiffs make important decisions which could affectthe overall recovery for class members.
