The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of all those who purchased Velocity Financial common stock pursuant and/or traceable to the Company's January 17, 2020 IPO. The case, Berg v. Velocity Financial, Inc., No. 20-cv-06780 was filed on July 29, 2020.
The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose the substantial and growing proportion of the Company's loans that were non-performing and/or on non-accrual status as of the IPO rendered the statements contained in the Offering Materials and by failing to provide information on the potential impact of the novel coronavirus.
Since Velocity Financial's IPO, the Company's share price has declined from its IPO price of $13.00 by approximately 70%.
