---

what are the ALLEGATIONS IN THE LOVESAC CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT?

​The Lovesac class action lawsuit alleges that throughout the Class Period defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Lovesac did not properly account for last mile shipping and freight expenses; (ii) accordingly, Lovesac’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting were ineffective and deficient; (iii) as a result of all the foregoing, Lovesac overstated its gross profit and operating and net income, as well as understated its shipping and handling costs and accrued freight and shipping expenses, in its previously issued financial statements; and (iv) accordingly, Lovesac was likely to restate one or more of its previously issued financial statements.

​The Lovesac class action lawsuit alleges that on August 16, 2023, Lovesac disclosed that “[i]n June 2023, the Audit Committee (the ‘Audit Committee’) of the Board of Directors of [Lovesac] . . . commenced an internal investigation related to the recording of last mile shipping expenses, resulting from the discovery of a recorded journal entry in the quarter ended April 30, 2023 to capitalize $2.2 million of shipping expenses that related to the fiscal year ended January 29, 2023” and that Lovesac “identified . . . certain errors with the methodology used by [Lovesac] to calculate the accrual of its last mile freight expenses applicable to [Lovesac]’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2023 and the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2023.” 

Specifically, the Lovesac class action lawsuit alleges that Lovesac further stated that  “as a result of the identified errors related to last mile freight expenses, [Lovesac] believes that previously reported operating income and net income were overstated by approximately $1.5 million to $2.5 million and $1.0 million to $2.0 million, respectively, for fiscal year 2023” and that certain financial statements, including Lovesac’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2023 should no longer be relied upon.  On this news, Lovesac’s stock price fell nearly 3%, according to the complaint.

WHAT ARE MY CHOICES IF I RECEIVE A NOTICE IN THE LOVESAC CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT?

​​First, read the notice very carefully.  You have two choices.  First, you can do nothing and remain a member of the class represented by lead counsel.  Second, if you believe you have a large enough loss to justify it, you can opt out of the Lovesac class action lawsuit and file your own separate lawsuit. Note, that if you opt out, you will not be able to participate in any settlement or recovery obtained in the Lovesac class action lawsuit. 

WHAT IS A SECURTIES FRAUD CLASS ACTION SUCH AS THE LOVESAC CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT?

​​​A securities fraud class action refers to a legal action taken by a group of investors who have suffered financial losses as a result of fraudulent activities committed by a company or its executives. This type of lawsuit is typically filed when a company misrepresents or withholds important information from investors, leading to a decline in the value of their investments. The purpose of a securities fraud class action is to seek compensation for the affected investors and hold the company accountable for its fraudulent practices.  Securities fraud class actions are governed by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act (PSLRA).

One notable securities fraud class action lawsuit is the Lovesac class action lawsuit. In this case, investors who purchased Lovesac securities alleged that the company made false and misleading statements and misled investors, and when the truth was ultimately disclosed, they suffered losses from purchasing shares that had been artificially inflated by the false and misleading information.

Securities fraud class actions are typically initiated by a lead plaintiff or a group of lead plaintiffs who represent the interests of all the affected investors. The lead plaintiff is often an institutional investor or a large shareholder who has suffered substantial losses and possesses the resources and expertise to effectively pursue the lawsuit on behalf of the class. The lead plaintiff's role is crucial in coordinating with legal counsel, gathering evidence, and making strategic decisions throughout the litigation process.

To proceed with a securities fraud class action, the lead plaintiff must demonstrate that there is a common issue of law or fact among the members of the class and that a class action is the most efficient and appropriate method for resolving their claims. If these requirements are met, the court will certify the lawsuit as a class action, allowing all eligible investors to participate in the litigation and share in any potential recovery.

Once certified, the securities fraud class action typically goes through several stages, including discovery, where both parties exchange relevant documents and information, and motion practice, where each side presents legal arguments to the court. If the case does not settle during these stages, it may proceed to trial, where a jury or judge will determine liability and damages.

In securities fraud class actions, the defendants are usually the company accused of fraud and its executives who were involved in the fraudulent activities. The lead plaintiff seeks damages on behalf of all class members, which may include compensation for their financial losses, interest, attorneys' fees, and other costs incurred throughout the litigation process.

In conclusion, a securities fraud class action is a legal mechanism used by investors to seek compensation for financial losses resulting from fraudulent activities committed by a company. The Lovesac class action lawsuit serves as an example of how investors can hold companies accountable for their alleged misrepresentations and omissions. These lawsuits play an essential role in protecting investor rights and promoting transparency in the financial markets.

WHAT IS THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS IN THE LOVESAC CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT?

​The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased and suffered losses in Lovesac stock to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Lovesac class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. ​

​A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the securities class action lawsuit.  An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery of the class action lawsuit is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Miles today who would fight to recover your damages in a Lovesac class action lawsuit if you suffered losses in Lovesac stock.

CAN A NON-U.S. INVESTOR SERVE AS LEAD PLAINTIFF IN THE LOVESAC LAWSUIT?

​Yes, courts in the U.S. have consistently recognized that non-U.S. investors, many of whom have substantial holdings, are adequate lead plaintiffs and have the same right to move for lead plaintiffs as U.S. investors.  Thus, if a non-U.S. investor suffered losses in Lovesac​​ stock, they may move the Court to be appointed lead plaintiff in the Lovesac lawsuit.
