On March 1, 2018, Microchip announced that it would acquire Microsemi Corporation ("Microsemi") for $8.35 billion. On May 8, 2018, Microchip Technology Incorporated announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2018. Microchip Technology Incorporated reported that its Total Revenue rose from over $3.4 billion for the 12 months period that ended on March 31, 2017 to over $3.98 billion for the 12 months period that ended on March 31, 2018 and that its Net Income over those respective time periods increased from $164.6 million to $255.4 million.

Then on August 9, 2018, Microchip Technology Incorporated disclosed that the Company was "adversely impacted by $226.9 million of Microsemi purchase accounting, restructuring and other charges," and that Microsemi "was extremely aggressive in shipping inventory into the distribution channel" which "will provide some headwind for revenue for the next couple of quarters" for Microchip Technology Incorporated.

The plaintiff claims that between March 2, 2018 and August 9, 2018, Microchip Technology Incorporated represented that the Microsemi acquisition would be "immediately accretive" by increasing Microchip's earnings per share as it "will add further operational and customer scale to Microchip.", and that Microchip's CEO Steven Sanghi represented that the "deal is accretive on day one without doing anything, without any synergy," and was "strategically and financially, a very compelling transaction."

Those who purchased shares of Microchip Technology Incorporated (NASDAQ: MCHP) have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
