(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120119/MM38856LOGO )

The investigation focuses on Avid's February 25, 2013 announcement that it has postponed its fourth quarter 2012 earnings release and investor conference call to provide additional time for the Company to evaluate its current and historical accounting. Moreover, Avid stated that it is unable to estimate when it will be able to complete its accounting evaluation. Avid's unexpected announcement resulted in a fall in the Company's share price, from a close of $7.66 on February 22, 2013 to a close of $6.98 on February 25, 2013, a drop of roughly 8.8%.
