    pursuant or traceable to the Company's initial public offering of 4.5 million common
    shares of Quintus at $18.00 per share for a total of $81 million (the "IPO") or on the open
    market during the period from November 15, 1999 through and including November 15,
    2000 (the "Class Period"), to recover damages caused by the defendants' violation of the

    results.
