As detailed below, the lawsuit
focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities
laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose
that: (1) Cloopen’s “land and expand” strategy was failing and its customer
base deteriorating; (2) the Company’s dollar-based net retention rate was not
“stable,” but rather had dropped significantly by the end of 2020; (3) at the
time of the IPO, an increasing number of customers were not paying Cloopen for
the services and/or solutions it provided, forcing Cloopen to recognize massive
increases in its accounts receivable and its allowance for doubtful accounts;
(4) because Cloopen had valued certain warrants at extremely low levels, the
Company would recognize massive additional costs associated with those
warrants; and (5) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s
business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a
reasonable basis at all relevant times.
In February 2021, Cloopen
conducted its IPO, selling 23 million ADSs at $16 per ADS.
On March 26, 2021, Cloopen
released its 2020 fourth quarter financial results for the period ending
December 31, 2020 – more than a month before the IPO. Cloopen reported revenues
of $39.6 million, $2 million short of analysts’ consensus, as well as net
losses of $46.8 million (a 466.9% year-over-year increase), and operating
expenses of $27.6 million (a 30% year-over-year increase).
On this news, Cloopen’s
shares fell $14.42, or 18.5%, to close at $11.75 per ADS on March 26, 2021.
On May 10, 2021, Cloopen
filed its 2020 annual report, revealing that its dollar-based net customer
retention rate for recurring solutions fell from 102.7% in 2019 to 86.8% in
2020, which meant that Cloopen’s purportedly “loyal” customer base was not
“expand[ing]” into additional solutions and the Company’s growth strategy was
not effective.
On this news, Cloopen’s
shares closed at $8.97 per ADS on May 12, 2021. Since the IPO, Cloopen’s ADSs
have traded as low as $2.70 per ADS, an 80% decline from the $16 IPO price.
The court-appointed lead
plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief
sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs
and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the
putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of
their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your
ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a
lead plaintiff or not.
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also
encourages anyone with information regarding Cloopen’s conduct to contact the
firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.
