Quantum sells scale-out tiered storage, archive and data protection solutions for capturing, sharing, managing and preserving digital assets in physical and virtual environments. Among other products, Quantum provides storage file systems, nearline storage systems, backup, and deduplication appliances, tape libraries, and cloud services.
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Quantum had inappropriately accounted for revenue relating to certain transactions commencing April 1, 2016; (ii) the Company lacked adequate internal controls over financial reporting; and (iii) that as a result of the foregoing, Quantum's publicly disseminated financial statements were materially false and misleading.
On February 8, 2018, before trading had opened, Quantum disclosed that it had received a subpoena from the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 11, 2018 "regarding its accounting practices and internal controls related to revenue recognition for transactions commencing April 1, 2016," prompting an internal investigation by Quantum's audit committee, which remains ongoing. As a result, the Company further announced that it would postpone the release of its fiscal third quarter 2018 results and earnings call.
On this news, Quantum's share price plunged 29.9% to close at $3.90 on February 8, 2018, causing millions of dollars in losses to investors.
