Background:
On January 22, 2022, Citrix Systems announced its acquisition by Vista Equity Partners and Evergreen Coast Capital Corporation.
This acquisition was presented as “a very positive development which will put Citrix in a better position to accelerate its transformation and invest in its growth strategy”. This was approved by Citrix shareholders on February 22, 2022, and completed by April 1, 2022.
In their July 2022 financial report, Citrix revealed significant revenue declines due to difficulties in moving their customers to cloud-based services and problems in implementing their new business model.
The company supposedly used false projections and misleading proxy statements to justify selling Citrix at a low price to Vista Equity Partners and Elliott Investment Management.
This led to a 9% drop in $CTXS value.
After Citrix disclosed disappointing financial results, investors sued the company.
