On September 29, 2021, Spruce Point Capital Management, LLC published a short-seller report on Lightspeed. In the report, Spruce Point made the following claims:

"Evidence shows that Lightspeed massively inflated its business pre-IPO, overstating its customer count by 85% and gross transaction volume ('GTV') by 10% – a payment volume metric that a former employee described as 'smoke and mirrors.'

"Evidence of declining organic growth and business deterioration through Lightspeed's IPO, despite management's claims that Average Revenue Per User ("ARPU") is increasing."

"Recent acquisition spree has come at escalating costs with no clear path to profitability, while management pursues aggressive revenue reporting practices."

"Weak governance standards and worrisome auditor oversight by PwC under a concerning CFO, who was tied to a prior technology roll-up scandal."

Shares of Lightspeed Commerce Inc. (NYSE: LSPD) declined from $122.53 per share on September 22, 2021, to $42.65 per share on December 6, 2021.

The plaintiff claims that between September 11, 2020 and September 28, 2021, the Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that Lightspeed had misrepresented the strength of its business by, inter alia, overstating its customer count, gross transaction volume ("GTV"), and increase in Average Revenue Per User ("ARPU"), while concealing the Company's declining organic growth and business deterioration, that Lightspeed had overstated the benefits and value of the Company's various acquisitions, that accordingly, the Company had overstated its financial position and prospects, and that as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

Those who purchased shares of Lightspeed Commerce Inc. (NYSE: LSPD) have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
