(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) LOS ANGELES, Nov. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP (“GPM”) reminds investors of the upcoming December 16, 2024 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired WM Technology, Inc. (“WM Technology” or the“Company”) (NASDAQ: MAPS ) securities between May 25, 2021, and September 24, 2024 , inclusive (the“Class Period”).

On August 9, 2022, WM Technology disclosed it had received an internal complaint concerning the calculation and reporting of Monthly Active Users (“MAUs”). The Company revealed that a significant portion of its MAU growth was driven by pop-under ads. The Company also acknowledged that most users from these ads left the site without interacting further.

On this news, the Company's stock price fell $0.87 or 25.1%, to close at $2.59 per share on August 10, 2022, thereby injuring investors.

Then on September 24, 2024, the SEC announced it had charged the Company, the Company's former CEO Christopher Beals, and the Company's former CFO Arden Lee for“making negligent misrepresentations in WM Technology's public reporting of a self-described key operating metric, the“monthly active users,” or“MAU,” for WM Technology's online cannabis marketplace.” The SEC further announced it had“instituted a related settled administrative proceeding against WM Technology” and“WM Technology also agreed to pay a civil penalty of $1,500,000.”

On this news, the Company's stock price fell $0.02 or 1.89%, to close at $0.92 per share on September 25, 2024, thereby further injuring investors.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the Company, in allowing a key financial metric to be manipulated, did not maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting; and (2) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
