According to the Complaint, Defendants misled investors about the technological quality of the Company's Server Backup VM Edition and its potential to add "meaningfully" to Carbonite's financial performance for fiscal 2019. In truth, according to the Complaint, the Server Backup VM Edition's functionality was of poor quality and suffered from technological flaws, received poor customer reviews and complaints, and caused disruption within Carbonite's salesforce.
On July 25, 2019, the market learned the truth when Carbonite announced that it was withdrawing the Server Backup VM Edition product from the marketplace and consequently dramatically lowered its financial projections for fiscal 2019 and 2020. That same day, Carbonite's CEO Mohamad S. Ali - the strongest proponent and supporter of Server Backup VM Edition - abruptly stepped down.
On this news, Carbonite stock declined nearly 25%, wiping out over $200 million in market capitalization.
"We're focused on are investors' losses and whether Carbonite misled investors about the quality and functionality of its Server Backup VM Edition product," said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding Carbonite should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under the new program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.
