("Funko" or the "Company") FNKO between August 8, 2019 and March 5, 2020 (the "Class Period").

The Complaint 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 Funko was experiencing lower than expected sales; (2) that, as a result, Funko was reasonably likely to incur a writedown for slower moving inventory; and (3) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and/or misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On February 5, 2020, after the market closed, Funko issued a press release announcing preliminary fourth quarter 2019 financial results. Therein, Funko stated that net sales were expected to be approximately $214 million, a decrease of 8% compared to $233 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. On this news, the Company's share price fell $6.20, or over 40%, to close at $9.29 per share on February 6, 2020, thereby injuring investors. On March 5, 2020, after the market closed, Funko issued a press release announcing its fourth quarter and full year 2019 financial results. Therein, Funko affirmed that net sales for fourth quarter had decreased 4% year-over-year to $213.6 million due to, among other things, softness at retail during the holiday season which led to a decrease in orders. On this news, Funko's share price fell $0.32, or over 4%, to close at $6.92 on March 6, 2020, thereby injuring investors further.
