PLEASE CLICK HERE TO JOIN CASE

The filed complaint alleges that the Company's offering documents were negligently prepared and, as a result, contained untrue statements of material fact or omitted other facts necessary to make the statements made not misleading. Specifically, the offering documents were false or misleading and/or failed to disclose that:

  • defendants had overstated BlueCity's business and financial prospects;

  • the Company was ill-equipped to absorb the costs of becoming a publicly traded company, including IPO- and growth-related costs;

  • as result of the foregoing, defendants had misrepresented the Company's capability for sustainable growth; and

  • as a result, the offering documents were materially false or misleading and/or failed to state information required to be stated therein.

On December 2, 2020, BlueCity issued a press release announcing financial and operating results for the third quarter and fiscal year 2020. The press release reported, among other results, that the Company's cost of revenues had increased 41.4% year-over-year, selling and marketing expenses had increased
86.3% year-over-year, technology and development expenses had increased 49.5% year-over-year, and general and administrative expenses had increased 4,349% year-over-year.

On this news, BlueCity's ADR price fell $3.30 per ADR, or 22.84%, to close at $11.15 per ADR on December 2, 2020.

Then on March 23, 2021, BlueCity issued a press release announcing its results for the fourth quarter of 2020. Among other results, BlueCity announced revenue of $42.7 million, missing consensus estimates by $3.92 million.

On this news, BlueCity's ADR price fell $3.25 per ADR, or 26.71%, over the following two trading sessions, to close at $8.92 per ADR on March 24, 2021.
