2022 and October 31, 2023. In the amended complaint, the lead plaintiff asserts claims under Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, alleging that the Defendants made materially false and misleading statements and failed to disclose facts regarding the impact of Beti on the Company’s services and revenues. The lead plaintiff is seeking remedies on behalf of the putative class that include, but are not limited to, compensatory damages, reimbursement of out-of-pocket costs, and injunctive relief.

The Defendants filed their Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s Consolidated Complaint on September 6, 2024. The parties have fully briefed the Motion to Dismiss and are awaiting a decision from the Western District Court.

In January and May 2024, three derivative lawsuits were filed by Company stockholders against the Company and the members of the Board of Directors for purported breaches of fiduciary duties, aiding and abetting, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets based on similar allegations as in the Consolidated Securities Class Action. On May 23, 2024, the three derivative actions were consolidated into one master case, styled In re Paycom Software, Inc. Stockholder Derivative Litigation, Case No. 5:24-cv-00240-F, in the Western District Court (the “Consolidated Derivative Action”). The plaintiffs seek to recover unspecified monetary damages on behalf of the Company. The Western District Court has stayed all proceedings and deadlines in the Consolidated Derivative Action pending resolution of Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss in the Consolidated Securities Class Action.

We believe that the resolution of current pending legal matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Nonetheless, we cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings, as legal matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, and there exists the possibility that the ultimate resolution of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
