What is this Case About: FIGS, Inc. Made False and Misleading Statements in its Offering Documents in Support of its IPO and SPO
According to the complaint, FIGS conducted its IPO on May 27, 2021, selling shares at $22.00 per share. However, defendants made misleading statements in support of the IPO. Specifically, defendants inflated the Company’s true ability to successfully secure repeat customers and failed to disclose that the Company was making choices independent of, and directly at odds with, its purported data-driven inventory approach.
FIGS conducted its SPO in September 2021, selling shares at $40.25 per share. The Offering Documents, however, included the same misleading statements as set forth in support of the IPO.
On December 10, 2021, FIGS announced that its Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) Jeffrey D. Lawrence, would be resigning effective December 24, 2021, less than one year after becoming CFO. On this news, the price of FIGS stock declined by $6.57 per share, or over 21%, to close at $24.65 per share on December 10, 2021.
Then, on May 12, 2022, FIGS announced disappointing financial results and slashed its expected sales, gross margin, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”). FIGS attributed the poor financial results to “inventory constraints” which the Company stated were “the primary factor affecting our outlook for the full year.” In response to this news, the price of FIGS stock declined by $3.21 per share, or nearly 25%, from a closing price of $12.85 per share on May 12, 2022, to a closing price of $9.64 per share on May 13, 2022, on unusually high trading volume.
