COGNYTE’S ALLEGED MISCONDUCT

On December 16, 2021, after the market closed, Meta Platforms, Inc. issued a “Threat Report,” which included the results of a months-long investigation into the “surveillance-for-hire industry,” and revealed that Cognyte regularly targeted journalists, dissidents, critics of authoritarian regimes, families of opposition, and human rights activists around the world, without their knowledge, and collected intelligence on these people by manipulating them to reveal information and/or by compromising their devices and accounts. Following this news, Cognyte’s stock price fell $1.96, or 10.3%, over the next two consecutive trading days to close at $17.01 per share on December 20, 2021.

Then, on April 5, 2022, Cognyte issued its 2021 Annual Report, disclosing that the company was forced to modify its solutions in response to the Threat Report, “which impacted the manner [its] customers [could] use these solutions.” Additionally, Cognyte missed analyst consensus estimates for certain financial metrics and significantly undershot the midpoint of its guidance range by several millions of dollars. Following this news, Cognyte’s stock price fell $3.63, or 31.1%, to close at $8.03 per share on April 5, 2022.

On June 28, 2022, Cognyte released its first quarter 2022 financial results, missing analyst estimates across the board, including a revenue decline of 25%. Following this news, Cognyte’s stock price fell $1.84, or 28.7%, to close at $4.58 per share on June 28, 2022.
