The complaint alleges that defendants violated Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 by issuing a materially false and misleading Registration Statement and Prospectus. As alleged in the Complaint, the Prospectus portrayed IEH as a profitable, growing company with substantial volumes and customers. However, the Company was experiencing significant problems with its collection, accounting and billing practices, which were not adequately disclosed in its Registration Statement and Prospectus. Indeed, the Registration Statement and Prospectus omitted the fact that, prior to the Secondary Offering, Independent Energy's billing practices had been in violation of OFGEM's Codes of Conduct and Codes of Practice. On September 8, 2000, in a press release republished by Bloomberg, the Company announced that trading on the London Stock Exchange London Stock Exchange

If you bought American Depositary Shares of IEH pursuant or traceable to the Company's March 28, 2000 secondary offering, you may, no later than November 14, 2000, request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff.

The act or process of bringing a lawsuit in and of itself; a judicial contest; any dispute.

. In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member's claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class. Under certain circumstances, one or more class members may together serve as "lead plaintiff." Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff.
