 CFO Ashim Gupta, captioned In re UiPath, Inc. Securities Litigation (the "2023 Securities Action"). The initial complaint asserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and alleged that defendants made material misstatements and omissions, including regarding UiPath’s competitive position and its financial results. On January 26, 2024, the lead plaintiff in the 2023 Securities Action filed an amended complaint, and on March 26, 2024, filed a second amended complaint, which alleges Securities Act claims under Sections 11 and 15 as well as Exchange Act claims under Section 10(b), Rule 10b-5, and Section 20(a). In support of the Securities Act claims, the plaintiff alleges material misstatements and omissions in UiPath’s April 2021 Registration Statement, including regarding UiPath’s competitive position and its financial results. The second amended complaint is purportedly brought on behalf of a putative class of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired UiPath common stock between April 21, 2021 and September 27, 2022. It seeks unspecified monetary damages, costs and attorneys’ fees, and other unspecified relief as the Court deems appropriate. On April 23, 2024, the defendants moved to dismiss the second amended complaint. On November 4, 2024, the Court issued its opinion and order on the motion to dismiss, wherein it dismissed all claims under the Securities Act, but allowed the case to proceed with respect to two statements relating to competition that the plaintiffs allege violated the Exchange Act. On February 28, 2025, plaintiff filed a motion for Class Certification and Appointment of Class Representative and Class Counsel.On November 30, 2023, a purported shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York against UiPath, as nominal defendant, and then Co-CEO Daniel Dines, CFO Ashim Gupta, and several of UiPath’s current and former directors. The case was captioned Polilingua Limited v. Daniel Dines, et al. The lawsuit alleged that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties and committed other alleged misconduct in connection with the statements at issue in the 2023 Securities Action and by causing UiPath to repurchase shares at allegedly inflated prices. The plaintiff sought unspecified damages and/or restitution on behalf of UiPath, as well as costs and attorneys’ fees and certain changes to UiPath’s corporate governance and internal controls.
