Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP Reminds Investors of Deadline for Securities Fraud Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against QuantumScape Corporation - Seite 2

Following this news, the market prices of QuantumScape publicly traded securities fell precipitously, with the price of QuantumScape’s Class A common stock declining more than 63% from its Class Period high of more than $131 per share on December 22, 2020 to close down at $49.96 per share on January 4, 2021, including a one-day decline of more than $34 per share, or 41%, on January 4, 2021.

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, the defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose to investors that: (a) QuantumScape’s battery technology was not sufficient for EV performance as it would not be able to withstand the aggressive automotive environment; (b) QuantumScape’s battery technology likely provided no meaningful improvement over existing battery technology; (c) the successful commercialization of QuantumScape’s battery technology was subject to much more significant risks and uncertainties than the defendants had disclosed; and (d) as a result of the foregoing, the defendants materially overstated the value and prospects of QuantumScape’s battery technology.
