XILINX INVESTIGATION INITIATED BY FORMER LOUISIANA ATTORNEY GENERAL: Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC Investigates Xilinx Inc. Following Disclosure of Disappointing Results and Analysts Downgrades

Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (“KSF”), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into Xilinx Inc. (NMS: XLNX).

On July 22, 2014, Xilinx reported lower than expected first quarter fiscal 2015 revenue, reporting sales of only $613 million, below analysts’ estimates of $631 million. The Company also forecast that its sales could drop as much as 4% in the second quarter. These results contradict what Company representatives stated in presentations in May 2014. For example, on May 6, 2014, CFO Jon Olson made a presentation at the Robert W. Baird & Co. Inc. Growth Stock Conference, stating that, “we do see growth in the 8% to 12% topline growth range over the next couple of years.” On May 20, 2014, Olson made a presentation at the JPMorgan Global Technology, Media and Telecom Conference, stating that, “we are expecting growth in comms overall, but we also are expecting very strong growth out of industrial, scientific, medical, and aerospace and defense, as well as automotive next year” and that “[w]e would expect all geographies for us to grow year on year.”

On this news, Xilinx was downgraded by multiple analysts and the price of its shares plummeted by over 14%.

KSF’s investigation is focusing on whether Xilinx and/or its officers and directors violated state or federal securities laws.
