About the Lawsuit

Waitr, an online food ordering and delivery services company was formed through a going public transaction by Waitr Inc. and Landcadia Holdings, Inc. on November 15, 2018, after which time its shares began publicly trading on the Nasdaq under the symbol "WTRH."

On August 8, 2019, after market close, the Company revealed abysmal financial and operational results for the second quarter of 2019, including the resignation of its CEO, co-Founder Christopher Meaux; that its integration of BiteSquad.com, LLC, acquired in January 2019, was not proceeding according to plan; that the Company was laying off personnel; and that losses were running far ahead of plan and at a rate that eclipsed historical growth trends.

Following this news, the price of Waitr shares fell 50%. Waitr's market capitalization was $134 million, down from $910 million on March 13, 2019.
