Twitter, Inc. (TWTR) Securities Fraud Class Action:

The lawsuit is brought on behalf of investors who


sold


Twitter securities between Mar. 24, 2022, and Apr. 1, 2022, inclusive.

Specifically, the complaint alleges that Musk began acquiring Twitter shares in Jan. 2022, and by Mar. 14, 2022 Musk had acquired over 5% of Twitter’s outstanding shares – requiring Musk to disclose his stake in Twitter by Mar. 24, 2022. Musk, however, did not disclose his stake but secretly built it to a 9.1% stake.

On Apr. 4, 2022 Musk belatedly disclosed that he acquired over 73 million Twitter shares, or about 9.1% of the Company. He further claimed his purchases were for investment purposes only and that he agreed with Twitter’s board of directors that he would not acquire a total stake in the Company’s shares exceeding 14.9%.

But, on Apr. 14, 2022 Musk announced he proposed acquiring all the outstanding Twitter shares for $54.20 per share, a proposal Twitter agreed to on Apr. 25, 2022.

The Wall Street Journal

reported the SEC is investigating Musk’s late disclosure that allowed him to buy more stock without alerting other shareholders to his ownership and whether Musk’s initial disclosure should have revealed more about his plans for the investment.

“Musk has been accused of manipulating a company’s share price before, and in this case, we’re focused on selling investors’ lost profits and proving Musk intentionally concealed his transactions and lied about his intentions,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
