The filed Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period Sharecare made materially false and/or misleading statements because the Company misrepresented and failed to disclose the following adverse facts pertaining to the Company's business, operations, and prospects, which were known to Defendants or recklessly disregarded by them. Specifically, the Company made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that:
- Sharecare lacked adequate internal controls; and
- as a result, Sharecare's statements about its business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or always lacked a reasonable basis.
Furthermore, Sharecare filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filed its 2023 quarterly Form 10-Q reports on May 10th, August 9th, and November 9th. In each of these respective reports, Sharecare's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) stated that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Then, according to the Complaint, on March 29, 2024, Sharecare filed with the SEC its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. In this report, Sharecare's CEO and CFO disclosed that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, Sharecare's internal controls were deemed inadequate regarding "revenue recognition evaluation resulting from a change in services provided to a customer, due to untimely communication between cross-functional teams."
On this news, Sharecare's stock price fell by $0.2171, or 28.28% to close at $0.5504 on April 1, 2024, on unusually heavy trading volume.
