Join Class Action »

According to the Complaint, Micro Focus made false and misleading statements to the marketplace. It alleges that the Company failed to disclose that HPE was experiencing significant and global customer account disruptions due to its de-merger with Hewlett Packard. HPE and Micro Focus were also suffering from employee attrition, which negatively impacted Micro Focus’s revenue trend and operational abilities. Micro Focus’s revenue trends were worsening and on pace to miss expectations in the market for its interim results reported for the six months ending on October 31, 2017. The Company was also suffering from sales execution problems in North America. HPE did not have key assets like a loyal customer base, key personnel, or operational capabilities to justify its purchase price. Micro Focus failed to put in place the necessary operations, staff, and plan to effectively integrate with HPE in order to increase the chances of enjoying a positive synergy between the two organizations. According to the complaint, the total enterprise value of the merger was allegedly inflated by more $3.4 billion. As a result of these points, Micro Focus’s ability to service the debt load it took on as part of the Merger was materially impaired. The lawsuit states that when the market learned the true facts of Micro Focus and the Merger, investors suffered damages.
