The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP reminds investors who purchased Ibotta, Inc. (โIbottaโ or the โCompanyโ) (NYSE: IBTA) securities to contact Thomas W. Elrod of Kirby McInerney LLP by email at investigations@kmllp.com, or fill out the contact form below, to discuss your rights or interests with respect to the securities fraud class action lawsuit against the Company.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of investors who acquired Ibotta securities in connection with Ibottaโs April 18, 2024 initial public offering (โIPOโ). Investors have until June 16, 2025, to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.
The complaint alleges that defendants failed to disclose the risk concerning Ibottaโs contract with The Kroger Co. (โKrogerโ) in the registration statement and related prospectus (collectively, the โRegistration Statementโ) issued in connection with its IPO.
On April 18, 2024, Ibotta filed the final prospectus for the IPO of common stock with the SEC. In the IPO, Ibotta sold 2.5 million shares of $88.00 per share, with selling stockholders offering an additional 4 million shares. The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $206.8 million.
Under applicable SEC rules and regulations, the Registration Statement was required to disclose known trends, events or uncertainties that were having, and were reasonably likely to have, an impact on the Companyโs continuing operations. The Registration Statement stated, in pertinent parts, in the Risk Factors section, that โwe [Ibotta] provide offers on a white-label basis toโฆThe Kroger Co., and other retailersโ and โOur inability to maintain our relationship with our publishers on terms consistent with or better than those already in place and that are otherwise favorable to us could increase competitive pressure and/or offering pricing, and otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.โ The complaint alleges that Ibottaโs statements did not properly warn investors of the risks concerning Ibottaโs contract with Kroger. Rather than disclosing the very real risk of a major client walking away at any time, Ibotta provided boilerplate warnings concerning the importance of maintaining ongoing relationships with their clients.
On August 13, 2024, after market hours, the Company filed a quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 (โ2Q 2024 10-Qโ) with the SEC. The 2Q 2024 10-Q was deemed filed on August 14, 2024, by the SEC. Notably missing from the 2Q 2024 10-Q was any mention of Kroger as Ibottaโs client.
The price of Ibottaโs securities have plummeted since the IPO, closing at $47.69 per share on April 17, 2025 โ a 45% decrease from its IPO price of $88.00 per share.
