ZoomInfo Technologies Inc. (ZI) Securities Class Action:

The lawsuit, City of Pontiac Police and Fire Retirement System v. ZoomInfo Technologies, Inc., seeks to represent purchasers of ZoomInfo Class A common stock between November 10, 2020, and August 5, 2024.

The lawsuit alleges that defendants made false or misleading statements about the company's financial performance, customer retention, and revenue growth during the class period. Specifically, the plaintiffs claim that ZoomInfo overstated its revenue and customer metrics by failing to disclose:

• The temporary nature of pandemic-related demand: The company's financial results were allegedly inflated by the short-term increase in demand for its products during the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Customer churn: A significant portion of ZoomInfo's customer base was allegedly attempting to reduce their use of the company's products or discontinue their services altogether.
• Coercive retention tactics: ZoomInfo is accused of using manipulative tactics to force customers into renewing their contracts, even if they did not want to.
• Hidden demand cliff: The plaintiffs allege that ZoomInfo's coercive tactics damaged customer relationships and created a future risk of decreased revenue as contracts expired.

The lawsuit points to several instances where ZoomInfo's stock price declined following revelations about its financial challenges and customer dissatisfaction. These include announcements in November 2022, July 2023, and May and August 2024, which led to significant drops in the stock price.
