Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against BigBear.ai Holdings

The Pomerantz Law Firm has officially announced the filing of a class action lawsuit against BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. and certain top officers of the company. The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, is directed at all individuals and entities who acquired BigBear securities during the class period, spanning from March 31, 2022, to March 25, 2025.

Background of the Case

BigBear.ai is prominently known as an artificial intelligence-driven technology solutions provider, specializing in services related to national security, supply chain management, and digital identity stakeholder solutions. The nature of the lawsuit derives from allegations put forth by plaintiffs, claiming that BigBear and its executives significantly violated federal securities laws. Specifically, they are accused of making deceptive statements and failing to adequately disclose the financial shortcomings related to the company's accounting practices.

The lawsuit arises from an earlier merger agreement between BigBear.ai Holdings and GigCapital4, Inc. that was structured to fortify BigBear's standing in the technology market. However, following the merger completion in December 2021, investors raised flags regarding the company’s financial misstatements that affected the financial statements issued over the last few years.

Details of the Allegations

Among the core allegations listed in the class action, plaintiffs assert that there were gross misrepresentations regarding BigBear's business operations. It is noted that the defendants allegedly maintained inadequate accounting review policies concerning non-routine and complex transactions, which resulted in inaccurate determinations about their convertible notes issued in connection with the business combination.

The 2026 Convertible Notes, issued post-merger, have come under scrutiny because the assessment of their embedded conversion option was deemed incorrect and failed to comply with established accounting standards. The defendants purportedly led investors to believe that these financial mechanisms would not significantly affect the company’s capital, causing undue reliance on faulty financial statements.

One particularly contentious point is the company's assertion that it had correctly classified the terms surrounding the 2026 Convertible Notes under the rules governing the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). However, recent disclosures have debunked this claim, revealing critical omissions and misstatements in financial reports as far back as fiscal year 2021.

The Impact on Investors

In March 2025, following a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), BigBear acknowledged that certain financial records had substantial errors that would need restating, leading to a significant drop in the company's stock prices. On the announcement day, the stock plummeted nearly 15%, severely impacting investor sentiments and prompting further investigations into the company’s accounting practices.

As a result, aggrieved investors who purchased or otherwise acquired shares in BigBear between March 31, 2022, and March 25, 2025, have a window until June 10, 2025, to petition the court to be involved as Lead Plaintiff.
