SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Rigrodsky & Long, P.A. Files Class Action Suit Against Ixia

WILMINGTON, Del., March 14, 2017 -- Rigrodsky & Long, P.A.:

Rigrodsky & Long, P.A. announces that it has filed a class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of holders of Ixia (Nasdaq:XXIA) common stock in connection with the proposed acquisition of Ixia by Keysight Technologies, Inc. and Keysight Acquisition, Inc. (collectively, “Keysight”) announced on January 30, 2017 (the “Complaint”).  The Complaint, which alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against Ixia, its Board of Directors (the “Board”), and Keysight, is captioned Witmer v. Ixia, Case No. 17-cv-01483-R-AFM (C.D. Cal.).

If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact plaintiff’s counsel, Seth D. Rigrodsky or Gina M. Serra at Rigrodsky & Long, P.A., 2 Righter Parkway, Suite 120, Wilmington, DE 19803, by telephone at (888) 969-4242; by e-mail at [email protected]; or at http://rigrodskylong.com/contact-us/. 

On January 30, 2017, Ixia entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Keysight.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Ixia shareholders will receive $19.65 per share in cash (the “Proposed Transaction”).

Among other things, the Complaint alleges that, in an attempt to secure shareholder support for the Proposed Transaction, defendants issued materially incomplete disclosures in a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on February 15, 2017.  The Proxy Statement, which recommends that Ixia stockholders vote in favor of the Proposed Transaction, omits material information necessary to enable shareholders to make an informed decision as to how to vote on the Proposed Transaction, including material information with respect to Ixia’s financial projections, the opinions and analyses of Ixia’s financial advisor, and the background of the Proposed Transaction.  The Complaint seeks injunctive and equitable relief and damages on behalf of holders of Ixia common stock. 

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than May 15, 2017.  A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.  Any member of the proposed 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.
