Carbonite, Inc. (NASDAQ: CARB)
According to the Complaint, Carbonite is a software company that provides cloud-based backup services, including the Server Backup VM Edition for managed services providers ("MSPs"), which was designed to allow MSPs to protect their virtual data both locally and in their own cloud.
The Complaint alleges that during the Class Period, Defendants issued materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose adverse information regarding the technological quality of the Server Backup VM Edition and its potential to add "meaningfully" to Carbonite's financial performance for fiscal 2019. Specifically, the Complaint alleges Defendants failed to disclose that: (i) Carbonite's Server Backup VM Edition was of poor quality and technologically flawed; (ii) Carbonite was receiving poor reviews and complaints from customers about the Server Backup VM Edition; and (iii) the poor quality and technological flaws of the Server Backup VM Edition were acting as a "disruptive" factor throughout the Carbonite salesforce and keeping that sales organization from closing opportunistically on several larger deals during fiscal 2019.
