On March 29, 2024, Sharecare filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. In this report, Sharecare’s CEO and CFO disclosed that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures required by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act were not effective due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, Sharecare’s internal controls were inadequate regarding “revenue recognition evaluation resulting from a change in services provided to a customer, due to untimely communication between cross-functional teams.” On this news, the price of Sharecare shares declined by $0.22 per share, or approximately 28.3%, from $0.77 per share on March 28, 2024 to close at $0.55 on April 1, 2024.

The lawsuit alleges that Sharecare made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Sharecare lacked adequate internal controls and; (2) as a result, the Company’s statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all times.
