NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 07/14/09 -- Levi & Korsinsky announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the Superior Court of the State of California challenging the proposed acquisition of MSC.Software Corporation ("MSC.Software" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: MSCS). The complaint arises out of an announcement by MSC.Software stating that it had entered into a definitive merger agreement with Symphony Technology Group and Elliott Management Corp. Under the terms of the agreement, MSC.Software shareholders will receive $7.63 in cash for each share of MSC.Software they own for a total transaction value of approximately $360 million.

The price is unfair given that (i) the Company's shares traded at $7.73 as recently as June 1, 2009 and over $10.70 per share in the fourth quarter of 2008; (ii) the Company has $149 million in cash (or $3.27 per share) with no debt and a book value in excess of $7.00 per share; and (iii) analysts set a median price target for MSC.Software stock at $8.75 per share with a high target of $10.00 per share.

The companies expect to consummate the transaction in the third quarter, subject to customary closing conditions, including all necessary regulatory and stockholder approvals.
