Consistent with statements made in press releases and on the websites of various plaintiff's attorneys' firms, PhotoMedex, Inc. was served on Friday, December 20, 2013, with a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against the Company and its two top executives, Dolev Rafaeli, Chief Executive Officer, and Dennis M. McGrath, President and Chief Financial Officer. The suit, filed by Mr. Guy Ratz, a former employee of Radiancy (Israel) Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, alleges various violations of the Federal securities laws between November 7, 2012 and November 14, 2013, including that the Company and its officers made false and misleading statements or failed to disclose material facts concerning the Company’s business. The plaintiff seeks class action status for the suit, as well as an unspecified amount of monetary damages, pre-and post-judgment interest and attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees and other costs. The Company and its officers intend to vigorously defend themselves against this lawsuit.
