This lawsuit is for anyone who acquired securities in Bakkt Holdings, Inc. f/k/a VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings (NYSE: BKKT) from March 31, 2021 through November 19, 2021.
The lawsuit alleges that the Company and certain of its executives violated federal law. Specifically, the lawsuit alleges that, in the Prospectus to the Company's IPO, and throughout the time period mentioned above, the Company misled investors regarding its financial condition. More specifically, the lawsuit alleges that the Company misled investors by misclassifying its Class A stock.
On November 22, 2021, Bakkt disclosed that its management had re-evaluated the accounting classification of the Class A ordinary shares and had “identified errors in the historical financial statements of VIH . . . related to the misclassification . . . of the Class A Ordinary Shares prior to the [Business Combination].” Specifically, the Company determined that, as a result of errors in its condensed consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021, Bakkt should “restate certain of VIH’s condensed consolidated financial statements from” those periods. On this news, the price of the Company's stock dropped precipitously on unusually heavy trading volume and traded at a lower price at the time of this lawsuit than it did at the time of the Company's IPO.
