Summary of the Action and Settlement

This website relates to a stockholder class action (the “Action”) arising out of the merger of MINDBODY, Inc. (“Mindbody”) with affiliates of Vista Equity Partners Management, LLC (“Vista”) on February 15, 2019 (the “Merger”).  Lead Plaintiffs in the Action, Luxor Capital Partners, LP, Luxor Capital Partners Offshore Master Fund, LP, Luxor Wavefront, LP, and Lugard Road Capital Master Fund, LP (collectively, “Lead Plaintiffs” or “Luxor”) allege that defendants Richard Stollmeyer (“Stollmeyer”) and Eric Liaw (“Liaw”) breached their fiduciary duties in connection with their approval of the Merger and by causing Mindbody to issue a false and misleading Proxy statement in connection with the Merger.  Lead Plaintiffs further allege that Mindbody, Vista, Torreys Parent, LLC (“Torreys Parent”), Torreys Merger Sub, Inc. (“Torreys Merger Sub”), and Institutional Venture Partners XIII, L.P. and Institutional Venture Management XIII LLC (the “IVP Entities,” and together with Stollmeyer, Liaw, Mindbody, Vista, Torreys Parent, Torreys Merger Sub, and the IVP Entities, “Defendants”) aided and abetted those breaches of fiduciary duty.

Lead Plaintiffs, on behalf of themselves and the Court-certified Class (defined  below), and settling defendants Liaw and IVP Entities (together, the “Settling Defendants”) have reached a settlement for $27,000,000 in cash (the “Settlement”). 

On June 8, 2022, the Court held a hearing to consider final approval of the Settlement and related matters.  Following the hearing, the Court entered an Order and Final Judgment approving the Settlement and awarding attorney's fees and litigation expenses.

The Settlement, resolves all claims in the Action as against the Settling Defendants.  The Settlement does not settle or release any claims or dissenter rights (including appraisal under Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL) brought by Lead Plaintiffs against non-settling defendants Stollmeyer, Mindbody, Vista, Torreys Parent, and Torreys Merger Sub (together with their parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors (except for Settling Defendant Liaw), predecessors, successors, and assigns, the “Non-Settling Defendants”). Lead Plaintiffs continue to prosecute their claims in the Action against the Non-Settling Defendants.
