The class action is on behalf of shareholders who purchased or otherwise acquired securities between July 26, 2021 and December 7, 2023. Investors have until April 9, 2024, to move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff in this action.
The Xponential class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Xponential had permanently closed at least 30 stores; (ii) Xponential’s reported same-store sales (“SSS”) and average unit volume (“AUV”) metrics had been misstated by excluding underperforming stores; (iii) 8 out of 10 Xponential brands were losing money monthly; (iv) over 50% of Xponential studios did not make a positive financial return; (v) over 60% of Xponential’s revenue was one-time and non-recurring; (vi) more than 100 of Xponential’s franchises were for sale at a price that is at least 75% less than their initial cost; (vii) Xponential had misled many of its franchisees into opening franchises by misrepresenting the financial profile and profitability of its studios, as well as the expected rate of return for new studio openings; and (viii) many Xponential franchisees were substantially in debt, suffering high attrition rates and running non-viable studios that had no realistic path to profitability. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

There is no cost or obligation to you.
Investor Action Steps: Shareholders who sustained financial losses during the designated class period, are entitled to petition the court, until April 9, 2024, to secure the position of a lead plaintiff in this proceeding. The lead plaintiff assumes the responsibility of representing the collective interests of all class members, guiding the direction of the class-action lawsuit. This pivotal role allows the lead plaintiff the autonomy to appoint a legal firm of their preference to pursue litigation in the class-action case. An investor's eligibility to partake in any prospective settlement of the class-action lawsuit is unrelated to their role as a lead plaintiff.
