- Class Action Initiated: Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman has filed a class action lawsuit against Cepton, alleging that the company made false and misleading statements from July 29, 2024, to January 6, 2025, impacting investor decisions.
- Acquisition Bid Concealment: The complaint claims that Cepton received a credible third-party acquisition bid valued at more than double the Koito acquisition, yet the Board failed to adequately explore this offer and did not disclose its terms, depriving shareholders of the opportunity to make informed decisions.
- Shareholder Rights Compromised: By failing to disclose critical information, Cepton's shareholders were stripped of their right to make informed choices regarding the Koito acquisition, potentially undermining the company's transparency and trustworthiness in the market.
- Potential Legal Consequences: Investors must apply to be lead plaintiffs by December 8, 2025, and if successful, this could significantly impact Cepton's financial standing and stock price, as well as its future financing capabilities.
