The complaint charges CSK Auto and certain of its officers anddirectors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. CSKAuto operates as a specialty retailer of automotive aftermarket partsand accessories in the United States.

The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendantsissued false statements about CSK Auto's earnings, assets and businessprospects causing the Company's stock to trade at artificiallyinflated levels. While the Company's stock was artificially inflateddue to defendants' false statements, certain officers and directorssold 75,106 shares of their CSK Auto stock for proceeds of $1.1million.

Then on March 27, 2006, before the market opened, the Companyissued a press release announcing that it would postpone the releaseof its fourth quarter and fiscal 2005 financial results. Thepostponement was necessary to provide adequate time for the Company toconduct a thorough review of certain accounting errors andirregularities discovered in the course of its ongoing assessment ofinternal control over financial reporting and an internal audit. Onthis news, CSK Auto stock dropped $1.26 to $14.64 per share, afterhitting a low of $14.40 per share.

According to the complaint, the true facts, which were concealedby defendants during the Class Period, were as follows: (a) CSK'sfinancial statements were unreliable and its internal controls wereinadequate; and (b) the Company's published financial statementsviolated Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers ofCSK Auto common stock during the Class Period (the "Class"). Theplaintiff is represented by Lerach Coughlin, which has expertise inprosecuting investor class actions and extensive experience in actionsinvolving financial fraud.
