Impinj, Inc. is an American manufacturer of radio-frequency identification devices and software.

On August 7, 2018, Plaintiff's law firm issued a press release announcing the lawsuit. According to the press release, on August 2, 2018, Impinj announced that it was delaying the release of its second quarter 2018 results. The Company further disclosed that its Audit Committee commenced an independent investigation in connection with a Complaint filed by a former employee, and that Impinj contacted the Securities and Exchange Commission to advise the SEC of the independent investigation. On this news, Impinj’s share price fell $3.02 per share, or 13.7%, to close at $18.97 per share on August 3, 2018, on unusually heavy trading volume.

The Complaint filed in this class action alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose: (1) that the Company had engaged in conduct that could lead to an employee complaint and/or Audit Committee investigation; (2) that the Company lacked adequate internal and financial controls; and (3) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ statements about Impinj’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and/or misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

This case was voluntarily dismissed on October 3, 2018. A related case filed under Docket 18-CV-05704 continues in the Western District of Washington.

On January 14, 2019, the Court issued an Order consolidating cases and appointing Lead Plaintiff and Counsel. Lead Plaintiff filed a consolidated Complaint (sealed) on February 13. On March 19, Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the consolidated Complaint. On October 4, the Court issued an Order granting in part and denying in part Defendants' Motion to Dismiss. Plaintiffs were given leave to file a motion to amend the Complaint.

On July 9, 2020, the parties entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement. The Court issued an Order preliminarily approving the Settlement on July 29. On November 20, the Court granted final approval of the Settlement and entered Final Judgment. The Court approved the Settlement's distribution plan on June 21, 2021.
