  NEW YORK, NY, Jul 14 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Levi & Korsinsky announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in
the Superior Court of the State of California challenging the proposed
acquisition of MSC.Software Corporation ("MSC.Software" or the "Company")
(NASDAQ: MSCS). The complaint arises out of an announcement by
MSC.Software stating that it had entered into a definitive merger
agreement with Symphony Technology Group and Elliott Management Corp.
Under the terms of the agreement, MSC.Software shareholders will receive
$7.63 in cash for each share of MSC.Software they own for a total
transaction value of approximately $360 million.

    The price is unfair given that (i) the Company's shares traded at $7.73 as
recently as June 1, 2009 and over $10.70 per share in the fourth quarter
of 2008; (ii) the Company has $149 million in cash (or $3.27 per share)
with no debt and a book value in excess of $7.00 per share; and (iii)
analysts set a median price target for MSC.Software stock at $8.75 per
share with a high target of $10.00 per share.

    The companies expect to consummate the transaction in the third quarter,
subject to customary closing conditions, including all necessary
regulatory and stockholder approvals.
