NEW YORK, Jan. 22, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Rosen Law Firm, P.A reminds investors of the important February 24, 2014 lead plaintiff deadline in the class action filed on behalf of purchasers of Net 1 UEPS Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:UEPS) securities during the period from August 27, 2009 and November 27, 2013, inclusive (the "Class Period"), seeking to recover damages for violations of the federal securities laws.

NO CLASS HAS YET BEEN CERTIFIED IN THE ABOVE ACTION. UNTIL A CLASS IS CERTIFIED, YOU ARE NOT REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL UNLESS YOU RETAIN ONE. YOU MAY ALSO REMAIN AN ABSENT CLASS MEMBER AND DO NOTHING AT THIS POINT. YOU MAY RETAIN COUNSEL OF YOUR CHOICE.

According to the suit, Net 1 issued materially false and misleading statements about the Company's true business and financial condition. In particular, Net 1 failed to disclose or misrepresented that the Company's practices to secure contracts in South Africa were in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The lawsuit asserts that this adverse information caused the price of Net 1's securities to fall—damaging investors.

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than February 24, 2014. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. If you wish to join the litigation, or to discuss your rights or interests regarding this class action, please contact Phillip Kim, Esq. or Kevin Chan of The Rosen Law Firm, toll-free, at 866-767-3653, or via e-mail at pkim@rosenlegal.com or kchan@rosenlegal.com. You may also visit the firm's website at http://rosenlegal.com.
