New York – July 14, 2009 – Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins LLP (“Coughlin Stoia”) (http://www.csgrr.com/cases/comtech/) today announced that a class action has been commenced on behalf of an institutional investor in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York on behalf of purchasers of Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (“Comtech”) (NASDAQ:CMTL) common stock during the period between September 17, 2008 and March 9, 2009 (the “Class Period”).

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than 60 days from today. If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact plaintiff’s counsel, Samuel H. Rudman or David A. Rosenfeld of Coughlin Stoia at 800/449-4900 or 619/231-1058, or via e-mail at djr@csgrr.com. If you are a member of this class, you can view a copy of the complaint as filed or join this class action online at http://www.csgrr.com/cases/comtech/. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.

The complaint charges Comtech and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company engages in the design, development, production, and marketing of products, systems, and services for advanced communications solutions in the United States and internationally.

The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants issued materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business prospects. Specifically, defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose the following adverse facts: (i) that the Company was experiencing negative trends in its commercial satellite earth station and encoder bookings, as well as commercial RF Amplifier bookings; (ii) that the Company’s sales from its Mobile Data Communications division were weakening outside of its one order with the U.S. Army’s Movement Tracking System (“MTS”); (iii) that the Company was experiencing difficulty integrating the Radyne acquisition and was not generating the synergies expected from the acquisition; (iv) that the Company’s costs were rising in excess of internal forecasts reducing profit margins; and (v) as a result of the foregoing, defendants lacked a reasonable basis for their positive statements about the Company, its prospects, and its revenue and earnings projections.

Then, on March 9, 2009, Comtech issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fiscal second quarter of 2009, the period ended January 31, 2009. In response to the Company’s drastic reduction in its revenue and earnings guidance for 2009, the price of Comtech common stock fell $12.97 per share, or approximately 37%, to close at $22.48 per share, on extremely heavy trading volume.

Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of Comtech common stock during the Class Period (the “Class”). The plaintiff is represented by Coughlin Stoia, which has expertise in prosecuting investor class actions and extensive experience in actions involving financial fraud.
