Citrix Systems Inc. Common Stock (NASDAQ: CTXS)
The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants repeatedly, falsely assured investors that the transition from on-premise to the cloud product was going smoothly. In addition, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the shift to remote work, Citrix created a shorter duration, on-premise subscription license (the “Business Continuity Licenses”) that the Company offered at a discounted rate, and which Defendants claimed would transition to cloud accounts after the one-year license expired. As a result of Defendants’ misrepresentations, Citrix common stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period.
