Investigation of ZoomInfo Technologies by Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC
Former Louisiana Attorney General Charles C. Foti, Jr. has recently announced that his law firm, Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (KSF), is launching an investigation into ZoomInfo Technologies, Inc. The inquiry stems from significant financial discrepancies disclosed by the company in its second-quarter earnings report for 2024, as well as accusations of misconduct against certain official members.
On August 5, 2024, ZoomInfo reported a staggering $33 million charge as a result of unpaid customer accounts. This revelation prompted the company to shift to a "new business risk model" that required upfront payments from small business clients. The company acknowledged that many of its previous customers could not afford its services, resulting in a steep reduction of its annual revenue guidance by $65 million. The projection was adjusted down from an estimated range of $1.255 to $1.27 billion to a new forecast of $1.19 to $1.205 billion.
These financial troubles did not go unnoticed. Following the report, ZoomInfo and some of its top executives faced a securities class action lawsuit. The lawsuit alleges that the company failed to disclose crucial information, resulting in violations of federal securities laws. Recently, a court denied the company's motion to dismiss the case, indicating the legal challenges facing the firm are likely to continue.
The law firm KSF is investigating whether the actions of ZoomInfo's officers and directors amounted to breaches of their fiduciary duties toward shareholders or other violations of state or federal regulations. This inquiry raises serious questions about corporate governance and accountability within ZoomInfo.
