NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / January 14, 2020 / Bernstein Liebhard, a nationally acclaimed investor rights law firm, reminds investors of the deadline to file a motion to serve as lead plaintiff in a securities class action on behalf of shareholders that purchased or acquired shares of The RealReal, Inc. ("RealReal" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:REAL) between June 24, 2019 and November 25, 2019, inclusive (the "Class Period").

If you purchased REAL securities, and/or would like to discuss your legal rights and options please visit RealReal Shareholder Class Action Lawsuit or contact Matthew E. Guarnero toll free at (877) 779-1414 or [email protected].

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the Company's employees received little training on how to spot fake items; (2) the Company's strict quotas on its employees exacerbated product authentication issues; (3) consequently, the potential for counterfeit or mislabeled items to make it through the Company's authentication process was higher than disclosed; and (4) as a result, Defendants' statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

On November 5, 2019, CNBC published an investigative report that showed that the Company's authentication process was not as robust as it led consumers to believe. CNBC spoke with "nearly three dozen former employees and obtained internal company documents that show not everything is authenticated by an expert and employees work under strict quotas that lead to fakes being sold on the site."

On this news, the Company's share price fell $3.80 or over 19% over the next two trading days to close at $19.37 on November 6, 2019. Since the IPO, and as a result of the disclosure of material adverse facts omitted from RealReal's Registration Statement, RealReal's stock price has fallen below its IPO price, damaging investors.
