CASE ALLEGATIONS: Autodesk describes itself as a “global leader in 3D design, engineering and entertainment technology solutions, spanning architecture, engineering, construction, product design, manufacturing, media, and entertainment.”
The Autodesk class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that Autodesk lacked adequate internal controls as a result of issues with its free cash flow and non-GAAP operating margin practices.
The Autodesk class action lawsuit further alleges that on April 1, 2024 Autodesk revealed that it would be “unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2024 . . . within the prescribed time period, without unreasonable effort or expense,” that after Autodesk’s “earnings release on February 29, 2024, information was brought to the attention of management, which promptly informed the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of [Autodesk], that caused the Committee to commence an internal investigation with the assistance of outside counsel and advisors, regarding [Autodesk]’s free cash flow and non-GAAP operating margin practices,” and that Autodesk “has voluntarily contacted the Securities and Exchange Commission . . . to advise it that an internal investigation is ongoing, and the Committee intends to provide additional information to the Commission as the investigation proceeds.” On this news, the price of Autodesk stock fell more than 4%, according to the Autodesk class action lawsuit.
Then, the Autodesk class action lawsuit further alleges that on April 16, 2024 Autodesk disclosed that it “will not file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2024 . . . within the 15-day extension period contemplated by Rule 12b-25(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934” and that “[a]ccordingly, [Autodesk] expects to receive a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market . . . that it is not in compliance with the timely filing requirement for continued listing under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1).” On this news, the price of Autodesk fell more than 7%, according to the Autodesk class action lawsuit.
THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired Autodesk publicly traded securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Autodesk class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Autodesk class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Autodesk class action lawsuit. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Autodesk class action lawsuit.
