DLocal operates a payment processing platform for merchants worldwide and, as part of its operations, engages in certain foreign exchange transactions.

The DLocal class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) DLocal engaged in certain improper conduct and transfers abroad in violation of Argentine laws and/or regulations, including, among other things, foreign exchange relations; (ii) as a result, DLocal’s compliance controls and procedures, including its disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, were deficient; and (iii) the above subjected DLocal to a heightened risk of governmental and/or regulatory scrutiny in Argentina and/or enforcement action by Argentine authorities.

The DLocal class action lawsuit further alleges that on May 26, 2023, Argentine news outlet Infobae published an article titled “The Government investigates the only Uruguayan unicorn for alleged fraud against the Argentine State and analyzes denouncing it in the US.” According to the complaint, the article reported that the Argentine government was investigating DLocal for a possible $400 million fraud related to “improper maneuvers” and transfers abroad, with unnamed sources alleging that DLocal “operates as a mere instrument to take advantage of the exchange rate gap and to take dollars abroad with operations that are not reflected in the accounting.” The DLocal class action lawsuit alleges that on this news, DLocal’s Class A common share price fell more than 17%.
