Rambus to restate results after review

Memory chip maker Rambus Inc. said Wednesday it expects to restate prior financial results to correct errors related to accounting for stock-option expenses.

The amount of such additional expenses is material, added Rambus, which saw its shares plunge in morning trading. . .

Rambus is one of at least nine companies conducting an internal review of historical option grants. Another 58, many of them technology companies, are under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission or Department of Justice for allegedly backdating stock options to retroactively time them at low points in the share price.
