NEW YORK, July 19, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shareholders of KIT Digital
Inc. ("KIT" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:KITD) are reminded of the
securities class action against KIT and certain of its officers. The
class action (12 Civ. 5446), filed in the United States District Court,
Southern District of New York, is on behalf of all persons or entities
who purchased KIT securities between November 9, 2011 and May 2, 2012,
inclusive (the "Class Period"). This class action seeks to recover
damages caused by the Company's violations of the federal securities
laws and to pursue remedies under Section 10(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and Rule 10b-5 promulgated
thereunder against the Company and certain of its top officials.
If you are a shareholder who purchased KIT securities during the Class
Period, you have until July 25, 2012 to ask the Court to appoint you as
Lead Plaintiff for the class. A copy of the complaint can be obtained
at www.pomerantzlaw.com. To discuss this action, contact Rachelle R.

free, x237. Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their
mailing address and telephone number.
KIT is a global provider of on-demand, Internet Protocol (IP)-based
video asset management solutions. The Complaint alleges that throughout
the Class Period, the Company made false and/or misleading statements,
as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts that: (i) the
Company lacked appropriate financial personnel with understanding of
U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles to ensure proper
financial reporting; (ii) the Company overstated the effectiveness of
its integration of acquired companies; (iii) the Company failed to
report the true costs of several of its acquisitions, including the
cost of proper administration and integration into the Company; (iv)
the Company had materially overstated its foreseeable growth and
profitability; (v) the Company lacked adequate internal and financial
controls; and (vi) as a result of the above, the Company's financial
statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On March 23, 2012, the Company disclosed the resignation of its Chief
Executive Officer and four directors from its Board of Directors
including the independent director who resigned "because of differences
of opinion with other members of the Board over issues related to the
Company's operations, policies and management." On this news, KIT
shares fell $1.82 per share or 22%, to close at $6.33 per share on
March 23, 2012.
On May 2, 2012, The Wall Street Journal published an article that
concluded that KIT former Chief Executive Officer Kaleil Tuzman had
"left a mess" at the Company, which the new Chief Executive Officer
"may have a tough time cleaning up." On this news, KIT securities fell
$1.92 per share or more than 30%, to close at $4.42 per share on May 3,
2012.
