DENVER, CO--(Marketwire - Oct 7, 2011) - Dyer & Berens LLP ([ www.DyerBerens.com ]) today announced that it has filed a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas on behalf of all persons who purchased the common stock of Imperial Sugar Company (the "Company") (NASDAQ: [ IPSU ]) between December 29, 2010 and August 5, 2011, inclusive (the "Class Period").

What actions may I take at this time? If you purchased shares during the Class Period and wish to serve as a lead plaintiff, you must request an appointment by the court no later than October 31, 2011. If you would like to discuss this action, the lead plaintiff process, or have any questions concerning this notice, please contact plaintiff's counsel, Jeffrey A.

What are the allegations in the complaint? The complaint charges that, during the Class Period, defendants issued materially misleading statements regarding the Company's business. Specifically, the plaintiff alleges that the Company knew but failed to disclose that: (1) it was experiencing a reduction in customer demand for its products resulting from other refiners selling products at steeply discounted prices; (2) the decline in sales volumes was primarily due to a lack of customer demand ensuing from competitors selling lower-priced products and not due to refinery production supply constraints; (3) it was experiencing a significant decline in its gross margins; and (4) its Port Wentworth refinery was experiencing ongoing operating defects that negatively impacted its gross margins. Based upon the foregoing, the complaint charges the Company and certain of its officers with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
