Time to catch up on some housekeeping matters that resulted from the recent dormancy of Securities Litigation Watch.

The first order of business - our options backdating securities class action list has been updated to add Amkor Technology (NASDAQ: AMKR), Apollo Group (NASDAQ: APOL), Hansen Natural Corporation (NASDAQ: HANS), Quest Software (NASDAQ: QSFT) and Sunrise Senior Living (NYSE: SRZ). The number of companies on the list now stands at 25.

We will continue to update and maintain this list to track all newly filed securities class actions that have options backdating related allegations. The list will also include any previously filed cases that have recently added options backdating allegations.
