biz.yahoo.com Friday October 1, 5:43 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Pomerantz Haudek Block Grossman & Gross LLP Stewart Enterprises Misled Investors; Top Insider Pocketed Over $12 Million in Insider Trading Profits, Says The Pomerantz Firm NEW YORK, Oct. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Stewart Enterprises, Inc. (``Stewart' or the ``Company') (Nasdaq: STEI - news) and certain of its officers and directors issued a series of materially false and misleading statements, all of which resulted in artificially inflating the price of Stewart's common stock in order to fund an aggressive expansion program, including support for the company's secondary public offering of common stock in February 1999, according to allegations in a Complaint filed by Pomerantz Haudek Block Grossman & Gross LLP (http://www.pomerantzlaw.com). According to the Complaint, Stewart issued a series of statements geared to conceal the true nature of the company's financial well-being and the overall impact that negative industry wide trends were having on the company, in order to artificially manipulate the price of Stewart's stock for purposes of expansion and a secondary public offering of common stock. When Stewart finally disclosed to the public on August 12, 1999 the company's true financial condition and revealed that its business would coincide with more realistic industry-wide trends, the price of Stewart common stock plunged. Soon thereafter was it revealed that in connection with the secondary public offering, Frank Stewart, Stewart's Chairman of the Board, reaped over $12 million dollars in proceeds through the sale of over 745,000 shares of his Stewart stock based on inside information. If you purchased Stewart Enterprises common stock during the period between December 15, 1998 and August 12, 1999, inclusive (the ``Class Period') and were damaged, you have until October 25, 1999 to ask the Court to appoint you as one of the lead plaintiffs for the Class. In order to serve as lead plaintiff, you must meet certain legal requirements. If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions, please contact Andrew G.
