Background:

Supernova Partners Acquisition Company was formed as a SPAC in 2020 and raised approximately $402.5 million through its initial public offering. The proceeds were placed in a trust account, and public stockholders were given the right to redeem their shares before a business combination.

In March 2021, Supernova agreed to merge with Offerpad, a technology-enabled real estate company. Before the stockholder vote, Supernova issued a proxy describing the proposed transaction and giving investors the information they would use to decide whether to redeem their shares or remain invested in the combined company.

The lawsuit alleges that the proxy materially misrepresented the value of Supernova shares. According to the plaintiff, the proxy presented the shares as being worth $10.00 each even though Supernova allegedly had less than $7.75 in net cash per share.

The plaintiff also alleges that the financial projections provided for Legacy Offerpad were unrealistically optimistic. According to the lawsuit, these alleged misrepresentations affected stockholders’ ability to make a fully informed decision about whether to redeem their shares before the merger.

The defendants dispute the allegations and maintain that they satisfied their fiduciary duties, that the merger was fair, and that stockholders did not suffer damages from the challenged disclosures. They also point to adverse economic conditions, including higher mortgage interest rates and inflation, as factors affecting Offerpad’s later performance.
