Avalara (AVLR) Vista Acquisition Case
W.D. Washington
Court2:22-cv-01580
Case number09/12/2022
Class period Start11/04/2022
Class period EndOn October 19, 2022, Avalara (AVLR) acquisition by Vista Equity Partners Management, LLC was closed , causing Avalara’s shares to be delisted from the NYSE and thereby denying Avalara’s public owners the ability to profit from the Company’s future growth.
Investors reasons to suspect that on September 12, 2022, to convince Avalara shareholders to vote in favor of the acquisition, the Company and involved parties:
- created unreasonably low financial projections to achieve support for the desired fairness opinion,
- directed Avalara’s financial advisor, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC to use the July Projections to perform the valuation analyses underlying its fairness opinion,
as a result, using the Proxy Misrepresentations to misrepresent the Board and Management’s beliefs regarding the reasonableness of the inappropriately low May and July Projections and mislead shareholders regarding the present value of their shares.
