CASE ALLEGATIONS:
The complaints allege, among other things, that throughout the Class Period, Defendants misled investors by touting PDD's growth while concealing several factors that rendered this growth unsustainable and posed substantial risks to PDD's business, including: (1) merchant policies that made it unprofitable for vendors to do business on PDD platforms while allowing PDD to grow revenues and save on operational costs; (2) malware issues on PDD applications that exploited customers and obtained user data without consent, including accessing sensitive information; (3) PDD's failure to implement effective compliance systems, including a system to prevent goods made by forced labor from being sold on its platform; and (4) that, due to the foregoing, PDD faced undisclosed risks of poor merchant and customer relations as the platforms scaled, which ultimately led to hundreds of millions of dollars in fees returned to merchants, merchants defecting to competing sites, and the slowing growth of its customer base.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS:
PDD investors may, no later than October 15, 2024, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.
