Aerohive's Initial Public Offering Was Based on False Information
According to the complaint, defendants made materially false and misleading statements in Aerohive's Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which was subsequently used for its initial public offering ("IPO"). Specifically, the Form S-1 omitted the following facts: (i) the company's sales cycles were declining and non-current deferred revenue was increasing due to delays in new product implementation; (ii) the company had no effective "rapid customer acquisition" as stated in its Form S-1 as conflicts between personnel led to a decline of staffing; (iii) the company was booking as revenue fake "sales" to meet unreasonable revenue projections and make up for sales shortfalls in violation of its internal controls and inconsistent with accounting principles; (iv) the company was experiencing significant turnover in staff due to bad relations and widespread internal disappointment over failed promises and expectations for compensation associated with the IPO; and (v) the company was experiencing a decline in sales due to an increase in competition.
Aerohive's stock plummeted when the company revealed a drop in sales revenues due in significant part to the fact that the aforementioned information was not disclosed in the company's Form S-1. Since the IPO on March 27, 2014, Aerohive's stock has declined over 30%.
