Jonathan Davis, et al. v. Yelp, Inc., et al.

Yelp agreed to pay $22.25 million to settle a securities class action lawsuit accusing the Company and its Leaders of multiple suspected felonies.

The complaint alleged that the Company misled Yelp investors regarding the retention rates for existing customers, as well as revenues and growth rates for the Company’s new customers, and furthermore that Yelp's CEO personally benefited from withholding such information by selling over $25,000,000 worth of Yelp shares (approximately 20% of his Yelp holdings) while allegedly in possession of material nonpublic information regarding Yelp’s poor financial results.

Yelp agreed to settle with investors to avoid further litigation.
