The lawsuit alleges that on March 1, 2018, Microchip announced that it would acquire Microsemi Corporation ("Microsemi") for $8.35 billion. During the Class Period Microchip promised investors hundreds of millions of dollars in synergies from this acquisition and the combination of Microchip and Microsemi. However, shortly after, on August 9, 2018, Microchip disclosed that Microchip's due diligence of Microsemi prior to the acquisition was inadequate. On this news, shares of Microchip plummeted $10.67 per share, or over 10.8%, to close at $87.41 per share on August 10, 2018.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than November 16, 2018.
