CASE ALLEGATIONS: Celsius develops, markets, and sells functional drinks and liquid supplements. Celsius’ core offerings include pre- and post-workout functional energy drinks and protein bars.

The Celsius class action lawsuit alleges that, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose that: (i) Celsius had improperly recorded expenses for non-cash share-based compensation for the second and third quarters of 2021; (ii) as a result, Celsius’ financial statements for those periods would be restated, including to report a net loss for the third quarter of 2021; (iii) there was a material weakness in Celsius’ internal controls over financial reporting; and (iv) consequently, defendants’ positive statements about Celsius’ business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On March 1, 2022, Celsius disclosed that it could not timely file its 2021 annual report due to “staffing limitations, unanticipated delays and identified material errors in previous filings.” Specifically, Celsius “determined that the calculation and expense of non-cash share-based compensation, related to grants of stock options and restricted stock units awarded to certain former employees and retired directors were materially understated for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021.” As a result, management concluded that there was a material weakness in Celsius’ internal controls over financial reporting. On this news, Celsius’ stock price fell more than 8%, damaging investors.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased Celsius securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Celsius class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the class action lawsuit. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery of the class action lawsuit is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.
