NEW YORK, NY--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 6, 2008 -- The Rosen Law Firm today announced that it has filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of purchasers of the common stock and options of Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. ("Maxim" or the "Company") (Other OTC:MXIM.PK - News) (formerly NASDAQ: MXIM), during the period from April 29, 2003 through January 17, 2008 (the "Class Period").

NO CLASS HAS YET BEEN CERTIFIED IN THE ABOVE ACTION. UNTIL A CLASS IS CERTIFIED, YOU ARE NOT REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL UNLESS YOU RETAIN ONE. YOU MAY ALSO REMAIN AN ABSENT CLASS MEMBER.

The case is pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California as case no. 08-cv-0832. You can obtain a copy of the complaint from the clerk of court or you may contact counsel for plaintiffs Laurence Rosen, Esq. or Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email lrosen@rosenlegal.com or pkim@rosenlegal.com.

The complaint charges that Maxim and certain of its former officers violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by engaging in improper stock option backdating that caused the issuance of materially false and misleading financial statements during the Class Period.

The complaint asserts that on January 17, 2008, the Company announced that it would be restating its financial statements to record between $550 million and $650 million of additional stock-based compensation expense and that its previously issued financial statements could no longer be relied on. As a result of these adverse disclosures, the Company's stock price has declined 22%.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed on behalf of Maxim shareholders. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than April 7, 2008. If you wish to join the litigation or to discuss your rights or interests regarding this class action, please contact plaintiff's counsel, Laurence Rosen, Esq. or Phillip Kim, Esq. of The Rosen Law Firm toll free at 866-767-3653 or via e-mail at lrosen@rosenlegal.com or pkim@rosenlegal.com.
