Recently a securities fraud complaint was filed against WEBTOON on behalf of certain investors who purchased shares of the company’s stock prior to August 9, 2024.

On or around June 28 2024, WEBTOON completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of common stock, selling 15 million shares of stock to investors at a price of $21.00 per share, for proceeds of approximately $315 million.

According to the complaint, on August 8, 2024, WEBTOON reported disappointing quarterly financial and operational results for the reporting quarter ended June 30, 2024 – the quarter that closed just one business day after the IPO.  Among other things, that quarterly report disclosed “bleak revenue growth and substantial declines” in Monthly Active Users (“MAUs”) for the relevant quarter.  Following this quarterly report, shares of WEBTOON’s stock fell $7.88 per share, or over 38% in value, to close on August 9, 2024 at $12.75 per share, on unusually heavy trading volume.

The investigation seeks to determine whether the members of WEBTOON’s board of directors violated the securities laws and/or breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the above alleged misconduct.

WEBTOON shareholders who have owned their WBTN shares since at least August 8, 2024 are encouraged to contact Kaskela Law LLC (D. Seamus Kaskela, Esq. or Adrienne Bell, Esq.) for additional information about this investigation and their legal rights and options at (484) 229 – 0750, by email at [email protected], or by completing the form on this page.
