Recently a securities fraud complaint was filed against WEBTOON on behalf of certain investors who purchased shares of the company's stock prior to August 9, 2024.
On or around June 28 2024, WEBTOON completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of common stock, selling 15 million shares of stock to investors at a price of $21.00 per share, for proceeds of approximately $315 million.
According to the complaint, on August 8, 2024, WEBTOON reported disappointing quarterly financial and operational results for the reporting quarter ended June 30, 2024 – the quarter that closed just one business day after the IPO. Among other things, that quarterly report disclosed “bleak revenue growth and substantial declines” in Monthly Active Users (“MAUs”) for the relevant quarter. Following this disclosure, shares of WEBTOON's common stock fell $7.88 per share, or over 38% in value, to close at $12.75 per share on August 9, 2024, on unusually heavy trading volume.
“These allegations of misconduct are deeply concerning. Our firm is investigating whether the company’s senior executive officers and directors violated the securities laws or breached their fiduciary duties in connection with this alleged wrongdoing,” said attorney D. Seamus Kaskela, who is leading the firm’s investigation.
