On April 4, 2013, a class action complaint was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery against Mark Pincus, Zynga’s CEO, and other members of Zynga’s board of directors (the “Board”), asserting a claim for breach of fiduciary duty on behalf of a class (“Class”) consisting of present and former employees and other shareholders of Zynga who were not permitted to sell shares in a secondary offering of ZNGA stock due to certain lockup agreements.
Additionally, a claim for aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty is asserted on behalf of the Class against Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs (“Underwriter Defendants”), as underwriters of Zynga’s initial public offering (“IPO”).
