Business Wire
Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins LLP (“Coughlin
Stoia”) (http://www.csgrr.com/cases/rhientertainment/) today
announced that a class action has been commenced in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York on
behalf of purchasers of the common stock of RHI Entertainment, Inc.
(“RHI Entertainment” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:RHIE) pursuant
and/or traceable to the Company’s initial public offering (the
“IPO” or the “Offering”) on or about June 19, 2008, seeking to
pursue remedies under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities
Act”).
If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court
no later than 60 days from today. If you wish to discuss this

The complaint charges RHI Entertainment and certain of its
executives with violations of the Securities Act. RHI develops,
produces, and distributes new made-for-television (“MFT”) movies,
mini-series, and other television programming worldwide. The
Company also produces new episodic series programming for
television.
On or about June 13, 2008, RHI filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a Form S-1/A Registration Statement
(the “Registration Statement”) for the IPO. On or about June 19,
2008, the Prospectus (the “Prospectus”) with respect to the IPO,
which forms part of the Registration Statement, became effective
and, including the exercise of the over-allotment, more than 13.5
million shares of RHI’s common stock were sold to the public,
thereby raising more than $189 million.
The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period,
defendants made numerous positive statements regarding the
Company’s financial condition, business and prospects. According to
the complaint, the description of the Company’s business in the
Registration Statement created the materially misleading impression
that at the time of the IPO the Company had orders for 40 MFT
movies and mini-series which had been paid for, were in production
and would be delivered in the later half of the year. The complaint
further alleges that these statements were materially false and
misleading because defendants failed to disclose that, given the
declining state of the credit markets and other negative factors
then impacting the Company’s business, the Company would not be
able to complete 40 MFT movies and miniseries in 2008.
Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers
of RHI Entertainment common stock during the Class Period (the
“Class”). The plaintiff is represented by Coughlin Stoia, which has
expertise in prosecuting investor class actions and extensive
experience in actions involving financial fraud.
