The complaint charges Merrill Lynch and its former star Internet research analyst, First Vice President Henry M. Blodget with knowingly issuing false and misleading analyst reports regarding CMGI during the Class Period. Based on e-mails and other internal Merrill Lynch communications, which were made public as a result of the investigation conducted by the New York State Attorney General, the Complaint alleges that Defendants failed to disclose a significant conflict of interest between their investment banking and research departments. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that Henry Blodget and other Merrill Lynch analysts issued very favorable analyst reports regarding CMGI to the public when they allegedly knew that the positive recommendations were unwarranted and false. The Complaint further alleges that, unbeknownst to the investing public, Merrill Lynch's buy recommendations and price targets were driven by its efforts to attract lucrative investment banking business rather than by the companies' fundamental merits.

Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all those who purchased CMGI securities during the Class Period (March 23, 1999 through October 6, 2000). If you purchased CMGI securities the Class Period and either lost money on the transactions or still hold the common stock, you may, if you meet certain other legal requirements, file a motion to serve as a lead plaintiff. You must file your motion no later than October 28, 2002.

A lead plaintiff is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. 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. The requirements for serving as a lead plaintiff are set forth in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. Section 78u-4).

The complaint charges Merrill Lynch and Blodget with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The complaint alleges that defendants issued analyst reports concerning CMGI that recommended the purchase of CMGI common stock and that set price targets for CMGI common stock, which were materially false and misleading and lacked any reasonable factual basis. In particular, it is alleged that defendants failed to disclose significant material conflicts of interest which resulted from the use by defendant Merrill Lynch of defendant Henry M. Blodget's reputation and ability to issue favorable analyst reports, to obtain investment banking business for Merrill Lynch. It is also alleged that defendants, in issuing their CMGI analyst reports, in which they recommended the purchase of CMGI securities, failed to disclose material, non-public, adverse information which they possessed about CMGI. Throughout the Class Period, defendants maintained an ``Accumulate/Buy'' recommendation on CMGI stock in order to obtain and support lucrative financial deals for Merrill Lynch.

Plaintiff is represented by the law firm of Rabin & Peckel LLP.
