Background on the Cloopen Securities Class Litigation
Cloopen, incorporated and headquartered in China, claims to be the largest multi-capability cloud-based communications solution provider in China.
The action alleges (1) that the Registration Statement misrepresented that the Companyโs growth strategy was effective while failing to disclose that Cloopen was losing many of its existing customers; (2) that the Registration Statement failed to disclose that an increasing number of Cloopenโs customers refused to pay, resulting in record large increases in Cloopenโs accounts receivables and allowance for doubtful accounts; and (3) that the Registration Statement failed to disclose that Cloopen was burdened by massive liabilities connected with the fair value of certain recently-granted warrants.
On March 26, 2021, approximately six weeks after Cloopenโs IPO, the Company reported disappointing fourth quarter of 2020 revenues of only $39.6 million, $2 million less than analystsโ consensus estimates, net losses of $46.8 million, a 466.9% increase year-over-year, and operating expenses of $27.6 million, an increase in 30% compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. Cloopen stated that its net losses were due to a โchange in fair value of warrant liabilities of . . . US$34.4 millionโ and attributed its 59.2% increase in general and administrative expenses to โan increase in the provision for doubtful accounts resulting from increased accounts receivables.โ On this news, the price of Cloopenโs ADS fell $2.67, or 18.5%, from its closing price of $14.42 on March 25, 2021, to close at $11.75 per ADS on March 26, 2021, on elevated trading volume.
On May 10, 2021, after the market closed, Cloopen disclosed that its dollar-based net customer retention rate for solutions offered on a recurring basis had fallen from 102.7% in 2019 to 86.8% by the end of 2020, and that the fair value of the Series F Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares underlying the Companyโs Series F warrant, issued and exercised before the IPO, was $5.50 per share as of December 31, 2020. Following this news, the price of Cloopenโs ADS fell 6.47% from its closing price of $9.59 of on May 10, 2021, to close at $8.97 per ADS on May 12, 2021.
