Pomerantz LLP Reminds Shareholders with Losses on Their Investment in Alfi, Inc
Pomerantz LLP announced that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Alfi, Inc. (“Alfi” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ALF; ALFIW) and certain of its officers and directors. The class action, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, and docketed under 21-cv-24232, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities other than Defendants that purchased or otherwise acquired: (a) Alfi common stock or warrants pursuant and/or traceable to the Offering Documents (defined below) issued in connection with the Company’s initial public offering conducted on or about May 4, 2021 (the “IPO” or “Offering”); and/or (b) Alfi securities between May 4, 2021 and November 15, 2021, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”). Plaintiff pursues claims against the Defendants under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). On January 8, 2021, Alfi filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in connection with the IPO, which, after several amendments, was declared effective by the SEC on May 3, 2021 (the “Registration Statement”). On May 5, 2021, Alfi filed a prospectus on Form 424B4 with the SEC in connection with the IPO, which formed part of the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus” and, together with the Registration Statement, the “Offering Documents”). Pursuant to the Offering Documents, Alfi conducted the IPO, selling approximately 3.7 million shares of common stock, and approximately 3.7 million warrants, to the public at the Offering price of $4.15 per both share and warrant for approximate proceeds to the Company of $14 million after applicable underwriting discounts and commissions, and before expenses. The complaint alleges that the Offering Documents were negligently prepared and, as a result, contained untrue statements of material fact or omitted to state other facts necessary to make the statements made not misleading and were not prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations governing their preparation. The complaint also alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations, and compliance policies. Specifically, the Offering Documents and Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Alfi maintained deficient disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting; (ii) as a result, the Company and its employees could and did engage in corporate transactions and other matters without sufficient and appropriate consultation with or approval by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”); (iii) all the foregoing increased the risk of internal and regulatory investigations into the Company and its employees; (iv) all the foregoing, once revealed, was likely to have a material negative impact on the Company’s reputation, financial condition, and ability to timely file periodic reports with the SEC; and (v) as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
