What is this Case About: Avaya Holdings Corp. (AVYA) Failed to Disclose Deficient Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was deficient and the Company had failed to design and maintain effective controls over its whistleblower policies and its ethics and compliance program.

On July 28, 2022, Avaya announced the termination of its CEO and its preliminary Q3 2022 financial results that included expected revenues and adjusted EBITDA well below previously given guidance and an unqualified but "significant" impairment charge. Avaya also withdrew its 2022 guidance. On this news, Avaya's stock price fell $1.19 per share, or almost 57%, to close at $0.90 per share on July 29, 2022.

Then, on August 9, 2022, Avaya announced there was a substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern and its Audit Committee commenced internal investigations into circumstances involving the Company's financial results for the quarter and matters raised by a whistleblower. On this news, Avaya's stock fell to $0.61 per share, or over 45%.

Finally, on November 30, 2022, Avaya disclosed material weaknesses in the Company's internal control over finance and stated that the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year 2021 ended September 30, 2021, should no longer be relied upon. On this news, Avaya's stock fell 14.28%, to close at $0.96 per share.
