LEGAL NOTICE
If you bought Adams Golf Stock (OTC BB: ADGO) between July 10, 1998 and October 22, 1998, an ongoing class action lawsuit may affect your rights.
The United States District Court for the District of Delaware has certified a Class in a class-action lawsuit against Adam's Golf, Inc. and some of its officers, directors and underwriters concerning alleged misstatements and omissions in Adams Golf's Registration Statement for its initial public offering ("IPO") in July 1998.
Who Is Included?
If you bought Adams Golf Common Stock between July 10, 1998 and October 22, 1998 you may be part of the Class, unless you are a defendant in the lawsuit or related to a defendant.
Who Represents the Class?
The Class representatives are John Morrash, Kenneth Shockley, Todd Tonore and Patricia Craus. They each bought Adams Golf stock in the class period. Lead Counsel for the Class is Berger & Montague, P.C. 1622 Locust Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103.
What is the Lawsuit About?
The lawsuit claims that the Registration Statement of the IPO failed to disclose the risk that "gray marketing" could pose to Adams Golf's sales. "Gray Marketing" is the unauthorized distribution of a company's products to discount retailers. Adams Golf and the other defendants deny that they failed to disclose any material risks, made any material misrepresentations in or omitted any material facts from the Registration Statement. The Court has made no decision about which side is right.
What Are My Choices?
If you stay in the lawsuit, as a Class Member, and if the lawsuit is successful, you maybe able to get a payment.

If you remain in the Class, you will not have to pay attorneys' fees or costs, no matter what the result.
Although it is not necessary, you may hire a lawyer, at your own expense, to enter your appearance in this lawsuit.
You may decide to opt out of or exclude yourself from the Class. If you exclude yourself from the Class, you will not receive any part of any settlement or judgment reached by the Class, but you will not be legally bound if the class action is unsuccessful.

If you want to stay in the class you do not need to do anything. It is advisable that you save confirmation slips, brokerage statements or other evidence that you bought Adams Golf stock between July 10, 1998 and October 22, 1998.
