HURCO CLASS ACTION DISMISSED
INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, April 18, 1995 . . . . Hurco Companies, Inc.
(NASDAQ Symbol: HURC) today announced the dismissal of all claims against the
Company and its co-defendants in the pending Federal court action brought in
February 1994 by Constantine Stamatio, individually and purportedly on behalf of
a class of Company shareholders. The complaint had alleged violations of the
antifraud provisions of the Federal securities laws and common law fraud in
connection with the Company's disclosures regarding its financial condition and
operations between June 1992 and August 1993. In entering judgment in favor of
the Company and all other defendants, Chief Judge Sarah Evans Barker of the
United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana dismissed all
the pending Federal claims with prejudice and, after holding that the Court
lacked supplemental jurisdiction over the common law claim, dismissed that claim
without prejudice.
