Gridsum agreed to settle a $4.5 million with investors to end a five-year-old lawsuit alleging Gridsum made misleading statements about its accounting and taxes related to a 2016 IPO.

Case Details:

Gridsum supposedly misled about its lacking of effective internal control over financial reporting, which resulted in inaccurate financial statements.

On April 23, 2018, Gridsum issued a press release, acknowledging the suspension of its audit report for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Moreover, audit problems for the financial results in 2017 caused a 16% $GSUM drop.

Gridsum has now decided to resolve all the case related allegations and pay a $4.5M settlement.
