About the Lawsuits
Velodyne and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws. On February 22, 2021, the Company disclosed that the Board had "removed David Hall as Chairman of the Board and terminated Marta Hall's employment as Chief Marketing Officer of the Company" based on its investigation that "concluded that Mr. Hall and Ms. Hall each behaved inappropriately with regard to certain Board and Company processes, and failed to operate with respect, honesty, integrity, and candor in their dealings with Company officers and directors." On this news, shares of Velodyne fell $3.14, or approximately 15%, to close at $17.97 per share on February 22, 2021.
On March 17, 2021, the Company disclosed that it was suffering from multiple material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting, including weaknesses related to: (a) its processes and controls over tracking and reporting whistleblower complaints and litigation matters; and (b) its failure to adequately review revenue schedules associated with non-standard revenue arrangements, which resulted in misstatements of revenue and deferred revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2020, as well as the resignation of its former COO. On this news, the price of Velodyne stock and warrants fell 13% and 17%, respectively, over three trading days.
The first-filed case is Moradpour v. Velodyne Lidar, Inc., et al., 21-cv-1486.
