In June 2019, RealReal completed its initial public offering ("IPO"), selling 17.25 million shares at $20.00.

On November 5, 2019, CNBC published a report based on "nearly three dozen former employees" and "internal company documents that show not everything is authenticated by an expert" and that "employees work under strict quotas that lead to fakes being sold on the site."

On this news, the Company's share price fell $3.80, or 19%, over two consecutive trading sessions to close at $19.37 on November 6, 2019. Since the IPO, RealReal stock has traded as low as $12.80 per share, a significant decline from the $20 IPO price.

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 to investors: (1) that the Company's employees received little training on how to spot fake items; (2) that the Company's strict quotas on its employees exacerbated product authentication issues; (3) that consequently, the potential for counterfeit or mislabeled items to make it through Company's authentication process was higher than disclosed; and (4) that, as a result, defendants' statements about RealReal's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
