DEFENDANTS’ ALLEGED MISCONDUCT:

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the material weaknesses in SoundHound’s internal controls over financial reporting impaired SoundHound’s ability to effectively account for corporate acquisitions; (2) in addition, SoundHound overstated the extent to which it had remediated, and/or its ability to remediate, the material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting; (3) as a result of the foregoing material weaknesses, SoundHound’s reported goodwill following an acquisition of Amelia Holdings, Inc. in August 2024, was inflated and would need to be corrected; (4) further, SoundHound would likely require extra time and expense to effectively account for the acquisitions of Amelia Holdings, Inc. and SYNQ3 (which was acquired in January 2024, before the beginning of the Class Period); (5) the foregoing increased the risk that SoundHound would be unable to timely file certain financial reports with the SEC; and (6) as a result, SoundHound’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS:

SoundHound investors may, no later than May 27, 2025, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation.  The lead plaintiff is usually the investor or small group of investors who have the largest financial interest and who are also adequate and typical of the proposed class of investors. The lead plaintiff selects counsel to represent the lead plaintiff and the class and these attorneys, if approved by the court, are lead or class counsel. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision of whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff.

Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP encourages SoundHound investors who have suffered significant losses to contact the firm directly to acquire more information.
