According to the securities class action complaint the plaintiff alleges on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired the common stock of Motricity Inc between June 18, 2010 and August 9, 2011, and/or who acquired shares of Motricity Inc common stock pursuant or traceable to its Registration Statement and Prospectus issued in connection with its June 17, 2010 initial public offering, that Motricity Inc and certain of its officers and directors violated the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by issuing false and misleading Registration Statement and Prospectus in connection with its June 17, 2010 initial public offering and by issuing between June 18, 2010 and August 9, 2011 materially false and misleading statements regarding Motricity Inc’s business practices and financial results. On June 18, 2010, Motricity Inc announced the pricing of its initial public offering.
Motricity Inc reported that its annual Total Revenue rose from $35.17 million in 2007 to $133.38 million in 2010.
Shares of Motricity Inc (NASDAQ: MOTR) rose from as low as $6.80 per share to over $30 during November 2010.
However Motricity Inc was not able to report any Net Income between 2007 to 2010 but rather a Net Loss for each 12 months period.
Then on May 3, 2011, Motricity Inc issued a press release announcing its first quarter 2011 financial results. Even though Motricity Inc’s first quarter Revenue in 2010 rose from $29.08 million a year earlier to $32.21 million for the first quarter in 2011, its quarterly Net Loss increased from a Net Loss of $1.53 million to a Net Loss of $6.14 million for the first quarter in 2011.
Motricity Inc (NASDAQ: MOTR) stock fell from over $22 in February, respectively over $14 in April 2011 to under $10 on May 6, 2011 and continued to decline to under $7 on July 15, 2011.
