Recently a shareholder class action complaint was filed against the company. According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose to investors: (a) that ZoomInfo’s financial and operational results during the Class Period had been temporarily inflated by the ephemeral effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which had pulled-forward demand for the Company’s database of digital contact information; (b) that material portions of ZoomInfo’s existing customer base were attempting to either substantially reduce their use of the Company’s product or abandon it altogether; (c) that ZoomInfo had used manipulative and coercive auto-renew policies and threats of litigation to force customers into remaining with the Company for an additional contractual term even though they did not want to; (d) that ZoomInfo’s coercive customer retention tactics had materially damaged the Company’s customer relationships, client franchise, and competitive advantages, and created a hidden demand cliff for costumer contract renewals in future periods; (e) that ZoomInfo’s reported accounts receivable were materially comprised of debts owed by high-risk small business customers that had a high likelihood of non-payment and had been induced to transact with the Company through a credit program the Company implemented in 2022; (f) that ZoomInfo’s allowance for credit losses was materially inadequate and understated the risk of non-payments by the Company’s customers; and (g) that as a result of (a)–(f), above, ZoomInfo’s reported revenues, operating income, and customer and retention metrics were materially overstated. Johnson Fistel LLP’s investigation seeks to determine whether ZoomInfo senior officers or members of its board of directors harmed the company by breaching their fiduciary duties or otherwise violating securities laws in connection with the foregoing alleged conduct.
