The Shuman Law Firm Investigates ZAGG Inc.

The Shuman Law Firm announces that it is investigating potential claims against certain officers and directors of ZAGG (News - Alert) Inc. ("ZAGG" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: ZAGG). ZAGG designs, manufactures and distributes protective coverings, audio accessories and power solutions for consumer electronic and hand-held devices.

The firm's ivestigation relates to allegations that Richard Pedersen, Zagg's founder and former CEO, used ZAGG stock as collateral on personal loans and sold to satisfy margin calls. A class action lawsuit filed against the Company alleges that senior ZAGG officers and/or directors became aware of Pedersen's pledging of ZAGG stock as collateral to meet margin calls as early as December 2011 but instead of disclosing that information, initiated a succession plan to replace Pedersen as CEO while concealing the true reason behind Pedersen's departure.

On August 17, 2012, ZAGG announced that Pedersen had resigned for unspecified reasons. However, beginning on August 20, 2012, the truth emerged that Pedersen's departure was "entirely related to the margin calls situation that started last December and unfortunately surfaced again two weeks ago." ZAGG then disclosed that Pedersen had sold 345,000 shares of ZAGG stock on December 21, 2011 and an additional 515,000 shares on August 14, 2012 to satisfy margin calls.
