VeriSign offers registry services that operate the authoritative directory of .com, .net, .cc, .tv, .gov, .jobs, and .edu domain names.  On October 25, 2012, after the markets closed, VeriSign issued a press release containing the Company's third quarter 2012 results.  The Company also disclosed that the DOJ was reviewing its domain name pricing arrangements and that as a result, the Commerce Department would likely be unable to renew the Company's contract prior to its expiration on November 30, 2012. 

Our investigation concerns whether the VeriSign board of directors has breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders, grossly mismanaged the Company, and/or committed abuses of control in connection with the foregoing.

If you own VeriSign shares and wish to discuss this matter with us, or have any questions concerning your rights and interests with regard to this matter, please contact:
