Important Information Regarding Section 20(a) Individual Liability Claims: Commvault CEO and CFO Allegedly Signed Off on ARR Growth Projections They Knew Were Built on Flawed Assumptions, Costing Investors $40.23 Per Share

NEW YORK, June 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP alerts investors in Commvault Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CVLT) of a pending securities class action naming two senior executives as individual defendants. Class Period: April 29, 2025 through January 26, 2026. Find out if you qualify to recover losses or contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] | (212) 363-7500.

Commvault shares collapsed 31%, losing $40.23 per share in a single trading session on January 27, 2026. The Court has set July 17, 2026 as the deadline to apply for lead plaintiff appointment.

The Named Individual Defendants

Sanjay Mirchandani, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Director throughout the Class Period, and Jennifer DiRico, Chief Financial Officer from the start of the Class Period through December 31, 2025, are each named as individual defendants. The action contends both executives possessed the power and authority to control the contents of Commvault's SEC filings, press releases, and presentations to analysts and institutional investors.

Section 20(a) Control Person Framework

Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 imposes liability on individuals who "controlled" a company that violated Section 10(b). The complaint charges that Mirchandani and DiRico:

• Were provided with copies of the Company's reports and press releases alleged to be misleading prior to or shortly after their issuance
• Had the ability and opportunity to prevent issuance of false statements or cause them to be corrected
• Had access to material non-public information showing that ARR growth projections failed to account for the impact of sale type on net new ARR
• Knew that increased SaaS deal volume would land at average selling prices 2 to 3 times lower than term software licenses, materially diluting ARR growth figures

Sarbanes-Oxley Certification Obligations

As CEO and CFO respectively, Mirchandani and DiRico signed certifications under Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act attesting to the accuracy and completeness of Commvault's periodic SEC filings. The pleading asserts these certifications were made while both executives knew or were deliberately reckless in not knowing that the Company's ARR growth guidance was based on projections that ignored crucial variables.

Scienter Allegations

The lawsuit asserts that both defendants had actual knowledge of, or access to, non-public information confirming that variation in sale types would produce a different ARR growth rate than publicly projected. Despite this knowledge, as averred in the complaint, the defendants repeatedly raised projected ARR growth guidance throughout fiscal year 2026, from 16%-17% in April 2025 to 18%-19% by October 2025, and increased the quarterly net new ARR target from $40 million to $45 million.

"Corporate officers have a duty to ensure their companies' public statements are accurate and complete. When executives sign SOX certifications and simultaneously raise guidance they know is built on incomplete calculations, the federal securities laws provide shareholders a direct path to accountability." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.
