Class Period: January 31, 2021 to November 3, 2021
Pending Court: U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
Lead Plaintiff Deadline: January 3, 2022
The lawsuits allege that the representations made in the Registration Statement used to effectuate the Company’s IPO were materially inaccurate, misleading, and/or incomplete because they failed to disclose, among other things, that the surge in COVID-19 customers observed in the lead up to the IPO consisted of a significant number that did not fit ON24’s traditional customer profile, and, as a result, were significantly less likely to renew their contracts. After the IPO, as the true facts emerged, the value of the Company’s shares declined sharply.
