Skillz is an internet tech company that provides a proprietary gaming platform for mobile gaming users and developers. FEAC was formed as a purpose-built acquisition company in early January 2020 by its sponsor, Eagle Equity Partners II, LLC, under the leadership and control of Defendant Harry Sloan, a director of Skillz and former president and chairman of FEAC.

On March 8, 2021, Wolfpack Research published a research report entitled “SKLZ: It Takes Little Skill to see this SPACtacular Disaster Coming,” which describes, among other things, how: (1) Third-party app data installs of the three games , which account for 88% of Skillz’s revenue (21 Blitz, Solitaire Cube, and Blackout Bingo), all fell significantly; (2) Skillz did not announce the significant decline in the popularity of these three games (despite their significant role in the growth path); (3) Skillz is not taken seriously by game industry gamers; (4) Skillz has a long history of boasting “great partnerships” that didn’t mean anything of value; and (5) Andrew Paradise, co-founder of Skillz and its chief executive officer, does not have the relevant experience disclosed. Following the news, Skillz’s shares fell 10.9% to close at $ 24.45. That disclosure meant a loss of approximately $ 762 million in investor value.

The story goes on

The lawsuit alleges that during the class action period, defendants made false and misleading statements and omissions that materially misrepresented Skillz’s alleged financial condition and prospects. These essentially misleading statements and omissions included representations relating to certain Skillz business activities, performance metrics and the final rating, including but not limited to Skillz’s ability to attract new end users, future profitability, the declining popularity of its hosted games, which was 88% its sales and the valuation of Skillz.

Skillz investors can apply no later than July 7, 2021 to be appointed as lead class agent by Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP, or other legal counsel, or they can choose to do nothing and remain an absent group member. A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in the conduct of the dispute. To be appointed as a lead plaintiff, the court must determine that the class plaintiff’s claim is typical of the claims of other class plaintiffs and that the class plaintiff is adequately representing the class action. Your ability to participate in a recovery will not be affected by whether or not you want to be the lead plaintiff.
