Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP Reminds Investors of Looming Deadline in the Class Action Lawsuit Against ZoomInfo Technologies Inc. (ZI)

Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP (“GPM”) reminds investors of the upcoming November 4, 2024 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired ZoomInfo Technologies Inc. (“ZoomInfo” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ZI) common stock between November 10, 2020 and August 5, 2024, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

On August 5, 2024, ZoomInfo released its second quarter 2024 financial results, missing revenue and earnings expectations, and lowering its full-year guidance for revenue, adjusted operating income, and free cash flow. Additionally, the Company revealed that it was incurring a $33 million charge related to non-payments by its customers, implementing a “new business risk model” to address elevated write-offs, and announced that its CFO and principal finance officer would be departing.

On this news, ZoomInfo’s stock price fell $1.79, or 10.3%, to close at $8.01 per share on August 6, 2024, thereby injuring investors.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that ZoomInfo’s financial and operational results during the Class Period had been temporarily inflated by the ephemeral effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which had pulled-forward demand for the Company’s database of digital contact information; (2) that material portions of ZoomInfo’s existing customer base were attempting to either substantially reduce their use of the Company’s product or abandon it altogether; (3) that ZoomInfo had used manipulative and coercive auto-renew policies and threats of litigation to force customers into remaining with the Company for an additional contractual term even though such customers did not want to; (4) that ZoomInfo’s coercive customer retention tactics had materially damaged the Company’s customer relationships, client franchise, and competitive advantages, and created a hidden demand cliff for customer contract renewals in future periods; (5) that ZoomInfo’s reported accounts receivable were materially comprised of debts owed by high-risk small business customers that had a high likelihood of non-payment and had been induced to transact with the Company through a credit program the Company implemented in 2022; (6) that ZoomInfo’s allowance for credit losses was materially inadequate and understated the risk of non-payments by the Company’s customers; and (7) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
