STEVENSON, Md., Dec. 22, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of purchasers of FireEye, Inc. ("FireEye" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:FEYE) securities during the period between January 2, 2014 through November 4, 2014, inclusive (the "Class Period"). Investors who wish to become proactively involved in the litigation have until January 26, 2015 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff.

If you have suffered a loss from investment in FireEye securities purchased on or after January 2, 2014 and held through the revelation of negative information during and/or at the end of the Class Period, as described below, and would like to learn more about this lawsuit and your ability to participate as a lead plaintiff, without cost or obligation to you, please visit our website at http://www.browerpiven.com/currentsecuritiescases.html. You may also request more information by contacting Brower Piven either by email at hoffman@browerpiven.com or by telephone at (410) 415-6616. No class has yet been certified in the above action. Members of the Class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff.

If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the Class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff and be selected by the Court. The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement and how much of a settlement to accept for the Class in the action.  The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in Company units during the Class Period. Brower Piven also encourages anyone with information regarding the Company's conduct during the period in question to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the defendants' failure to disclose during the Class Period that the Company was moving away from its core software products business model with low marginal costs that would not increase with increases in subscriber base to a business model with a lower potential for profitability because, among other reasons, the end-to-end service provider business requires the hiring of more highly trained professionals as the subscriber base increases. According to the complaint, following the Company's May 6, 2014 announcement of lower than expected product revenue for its first quarter and the Company's November 4, 2014 announcement that its third quarter results missed analysts' expectations, the value of FireEye shares declined significantly. 

Attorneys at Brower Piven have extensive experience in litigating securities and other class action cases and have been advocating for the rights of shareholders since the 1980s. If you choose to retain counsel, you may retain Brower Piven without financial obligation or cost to you, or you may retain other counsel of your choice. You need take no action at this time to be a member of the class.
