CASE ALLEGATIONS: PDD is a multinational commerce group that owns and operates a portfolio of businesses, including Temu.

The PDD class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) PDD's applications contained malware, which was designed to obtain user data without the user's consent, including reading private text messages; (ii) PDD has no meaningful system to prevent goods made by forced labor from being sold on its platform, and has openly sold banned products on its Temu platform; and (iii) the above subjected PDD to a heightened risk of legal and political scrutiny.

The PDD class action lawsuit further alleges that on March 21, 2023, Reuters published an article entitled "Google suspends China's Pinduoduo app on security concerns." On this news, the price of PDD American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") fell more than 4%, according to the complaint.

Then, on March 27, 2023, the PDD class action lawsuit further alleges that Bloomberg published an article entitled "Pinduoduo App Malware Detailed by Cybersecurity Researchers." On this news, the price of PDD ADSs fell, according to the complaint.

The PDD class action lawsuit further alleges that on April 2, 2023, CNN published an article entitled "'I've never seen anything like this:' One of China's most popular apps has the ability to spy on its users, say experts." On this news, the price of PDD ADSs fell, according to the complaint.

Finally, on June 25, 2024, Tim Griffin, the Attorney General of Arkansas, announced that he is suing Temu for violations of the Arkansas Deceptive Trade Practices Act and the Arkansas Personal Information Protection Act, according to the complaint. The PDD class action lawsuit alleges that on this news, the price of PDD ADSs fell.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired PDD publicly traded securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the PDD 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. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the PDD class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the PDD class action lawsuit. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the PDD class action lawsuit.
