Read on to learn answers to seven questions that Farfetch investors want to know about the Farfetch lawsuit.

WHAT ARE THE ALLEGATIONS IN THE FARFETCH LAWSUIT?

​Farfetch, together with its subsidiaries, operates a global platform for the luxury fashion industry.

The Farfetch lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Farfetch was experiencing a significant slowdown in growth in the United States and China; (ii) Farfetch also faced onboarding challenges impacting the launch of its Reebok International Limited partnership; (iii) Farfetch downplayed challenges it faced with respect to, and/or overstated its ability to manage, its supply chain and inventory; (iv) all of the above was having a significant negative impact on Farfetch’s revenue and gross merchandise value (“GMV”) growth; and (v) as a result, Farfetch was unlikely to meet market expectations for its second quarter 2023 financial results or its own fiscal year 2023 revenue guidance.

The Farfetch lawsuit further alleges that on August 17, 2023, Farfetch reported second quarter 2023 revenue of approximately $572 million, significantly less than the market consensus of $650.71 million. According to the complaint, Farfetch also issued a fiscal year 2023 revenue forecast of approximately $2.5 billion, compared to the average analyst estimate of $2.8 billion and Farfetch’s prior fiscal year 2023 revenue forecast of $2.9 billion.  Farfetch further disclosed that significant slowdowns in the United States and China, onboarding challenges affecting the launch of the Reebok partnership, and issues with inventory and shipping had negatively impacted Farfetch’s revenue and GMV for the quarter, the complaint further alleges.  The Farfetch lawsuit alleges that following these developments, the price of Farfetch stock decline more than 45%.

WHAT IS THE LEAD PLAINTIFF DEADLINE IN THE FARFETCH LAWSUIT?

​When a securities class action is filed such as the Farfetch lawsuit, the person who files the first complaint is required to publish a notice announcing the filing. Anyone who wants to be lead plaintiff on behalf of the class in the Farfetch lawsuit must thereafter file a motion to be appointed as lead plaintiff(s) no later than 60 days after the notice was published. 

WHAT ARE MY CHOICES IF I RECEIVE A NOTICE IN THE FARFETCH 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 Farfetch 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 Farfetch lawsuit.

IF I RECEIVE A SETTLEMENT FROM FINRA CAN I STILL PARTICIPATE IN THE FARFETCH LAWSUIT?

​Yes, the acceptance of restitution or compensation from a FINRA regulatory settlement does not waive your right to monetary or other benefits through the courts, arbitration, or mediation. Therefore, even if you received a settlement from FINRA, you can still participate in the Farfetch lawsuit. 

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SERVING AS LEAD PLAINTIFF IN THE FARFETCH LAWSUIT?

Serving as a Lead Plaintiff in the Farfetch lawsuit has several advantages and important benefits including:

• A Lead Plaintiff is able to negotiate more competitive attorney fees and reduce other litigation costs by actively monitoring the class counsel.
• Lead Plaintiff has the benefit of being able to manage the litigation primarily by overseeing and monitoring the progress of the action and the efforts of counsel, and being able to review and comment on important filings and other documents pertaining to the prosecution of the action.
• There is no financial risk in serving as a Lead Plaintiff because Lead Counsel advances all costs and expenses incurred it the prosecution of the case and will be reimbursed only if there is a successful settlement or judgment recovery on behalf of the class.
• Lead Plaintiff has the benefit involved and active in all negotiations relating to any settlement.
• Lead Plaintiffs that continue owning the stock of the defendant will enjoy the long-term benefits from governance reform resulting from the litigation. 

Thus, there are numerous benefits and other advantages to serving as lead plaintiff in a Farfetch lawsuit if you suffered losses in Farfetch​​ stock. ​

WHAT RESPONSIBILITIES WILL THE LEAD PLAINTIFF HAVE IN THE FARFETCH LAWSUIT?

​A Lead Plaintiff owes a fiduciary duty to the class, and therefore, must act in the best interest of the class in the Farfetch lawsuit.  Some of the responsibilities of the Lead Plaintiff in the Farfetch lawsuit include:

• Selecting, monitoring, and overseeing Lead Counsel.
• Reviewing and commenting on court filings on behalf of the class.
• Discussing litigation strategies with the Lead Counsel.
• Attending depositions (if necessary) and giving a deposition.
• Attending hearings (if necessary).
• Participating in mediation and the trial (if necessary).
• Provide input on any decision concerning the settlement of the securities class action.
