SAN DIEGO–(Business Wire)–
Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman and Robbins LLP (“Coughlin Stoia”)
(http://www.csgrr.com/cases/coach/) today announced that a class action has been
commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York on behalf of purchasers of Coach, Inc. (“Coach”) (NYSE:COH) publicly traded
securities during the period between January 23, 2007 and October 22, 2007 (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

counsel, Darren Robbins of Coughlin Stoia at 800-449-4900 or 619-231-1058, or

Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose

The complaint charges Coach and certain of its officers and directors with
violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Coach engages in the design
and marketing of accessories and gifts for men and women in the United States
and internationally.
The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants reported strong
growth for the Company and forecast similar growth going forward. However,
defendants failed to disclose that the Company`s growth rate was, in fact,
unsustainable. Then, on October 23, 2007, before the market opened, Coach
announced that although its fiscal first-quarter profit rose 23%, traffic in its
U.S. retail stores was weak and the Company expected a slow-down in the coming
holiday season. As a result of this announcement, Coach`s stock price dropped
$4.87 per share (or 12%) to close at $36.60 per share on October 23, 2007.
Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of Coach publicly
traded securities 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.
