CASE ALLEGATIONS: Dun & Bradstreet is a global provider of business decision data and analytics. On or about March 23, 2025, Dun & Bradstreet allegedly agreed to be acquired by affiliates of Clearlake for $9.15 per share in cash. According to the complaint, to obtain the stockholder approval required to consummate the merger, Dun & Bradstreet issued a definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A on May 13, 2025 (the “Proxy”). Dun & Bradstreet stockholders allegedly voted to approve the merger on June 12, 2025, and the merger closed on August 26, 2025.
The Dun & Bradstreet class action lawsuit alleges that defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose material facts in Dun & Bradstreet’s March 23, 2025 merger announcement and in the Proxy. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the Proxy and other solicitation materials misled investors regarding the true value of Dun & Bradstreet and the merger, including portraying the merger as the product of an ordinary-course strategic review and organic arm’s-length interest in Dun & Bradstreet, while omitting Executive Chairman William P. Foley II’s personal interest in a quick sale. The Dun & Bradstreet class action lawsuit further alleges that the Proxy omitted Bank of America Securities’ valuations of superior alternatives to a whole-company sale, misstated that Dun & Bradstreet’s Board of Directors had approved downward revisions to Dun & Bradstreet’s financial projections, and failed to disclose long-standing, material ties between Foley and Dun & Bradstreet’s financial and legal advisors.
THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who sold Dun & Bradstreet common stock during the Class Period, including holders who exchanged Dun & Bradstreet common stock in the March 2025 merger with Clearlake and as of the May 9, 2025 record date to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Dun & Bradstreet class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class.
