Pegasystems Class Action Lawsuit (PEGA Lawsuit)

The Klein Law Firm announces that a class action complaint (Pegasystems Class Action Lawsuit) has been filed on behalf of shareholders of Pegasystems Inc. (NASDAQ: PEGA) who purchased common stock between May 29, 2020 and May 9, 2022, inclusive. The action, which was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, alleges that the Company violated federal securities laws.

In particular, the PEGA lawsuit alleges that (1) PEGA had engaged in corporate espionage and misappropriation of trade secrets to better compete against Appian, a principal competitor; (2) defendants’ product development and associated success was, in significant part, not the result of its own research and product testing but rather the result of such corporate espionage and trade secret theft; (3) defendants had engaged in a scheme to steal Appian trade secrets, which was not only known to, but carried out through, the personal involvement of the Company’s CEO; (4) the Company’s CEO and other officers and employees did not comply with the Company’s written Code of Conduct, including its express prohibition on “stealing” confidential information from a competitor and “misrepresenting your identity in hopes of obtaining confidential information”; (5) the Company was “unable to reasonably estimate damages” in the lawsuit filed by Appian as a result of the foregoing misconduct (the “Appian Litigation”); and (6) as a result of the foregoing, defendants’ statements about PEGA’s business, operations, prospects, legal compliance, and potential damages exposure in the Appian Litigation were materially false and/or misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis when made.

Shareholders have until July 18, 2022 to petition the court for lead plaintiff status. Your ability to share in any recovery does not require that you serve as lead plaintiff. You may choose to be an absent class member.
