Defendant.

C.A. No. ________
VERIFIED COMPLAINT FOR INSPECTION OF
BOOKS AND RECORDS PURSUANT TO 8 Del. C. § 220
Plaintiff Jay Michael Biederman (“Plaintiff” or “Mr. Biederman”), by and
through his undersigned counsel, upon knowledge as to himself and his own actions,
and upon information and belief as to all other matters, files this Verified Complaint
for Inspection of Books and Records Pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 220 against Defendant
Domo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Domo” or the “Company”), alleging as
follows:
NATURE OF ACTION
1. This is an action pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 220 (“Section 220”) to compel
Domo to make certain books and records available for inspection by Plaintiff in his
capacity as a stockholder of the Company.
2. As described in more detail below, Domo has engaged in a strategy of
first outright refusing to produce books and records of the Company, and then
purporting to offer inspection but only if Plaintiff agrees to have imposed on him an

Case No. 12660-
2
overly burdensome and onerous confidentiality agreement which would force him
to surrender certain key rights as a stockholder of the Company in exchange for
receiving any documents.
3. Additionally, after Plaintiff asserted his rights to inspect books and
records of the Company and a Wall Street Journal article focused on Plaintiff’s effort
to utilize Section 220, the Company sought to muzzle Plaintiff by filing an
arbitration demand and suing Plaintiff in a Utah State Court on claims of
disparagement and defamation.
4. Plaintiff seeks relief under Section 220, including attorney’s fees and
costs related to his efforts to date to enforce his rights under Section 220 and to
defend himself with respect to the retaliatory litigation.
THE PARTIES
5. Plaintiff Jay Michael Biederman is a stockholder of record of 64,166
shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company as evidenced by (1) Stock
Certificate No. CB-254 (10,000 shares issued on January 14, 2015) (Ex. A), and (2)
Stock Certificate No. CB-281 (54,166 shares issued on June 26, 2015) (Ex. B).
Biederman was a former employee of the Company.
6. Defendant Domo, Inc. is a company incorporated under the laws of the
State of Delaware with its principal place of business in Salt Lake City, Utah. The
Company is a software development company that has focused on, among other
3
things, business intelligence solutions for enterprises of various sizes. According to
recent reports in the media, the Company has been valued at approximately $2
billion in recent financing rounds. The Company’s registered agent is Corporation
Service Company, 2711 Centerville Road, Suite 400, Wilmington, Delaware 19808.
JURISDICTION
7. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction under Section 220 which
vests this Court with “exclusive jurisdiction” for disputes related to demands to
inspect books and records of Delaware corporations. See 8 Del. C. § 220(c) (“The
Court of Chancery is hereby vested with exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether
or not the person seeking inspection is entitled to the inspection sought.”).
Additionally, this Court has jurisdiction pursuant to 10 Del. C. § 341, which gives
the Court of Chancery jurisdiction “to hear and determine all matters and causes in
equity.”
8. Personal jurisdiction is proper in this Court because the Company is
organized under the laws of the State of Delaware.
FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS
A. Biederman’s Purchase of Class B Common Stock.
9. Plaintiff Jay Biederman was a former employee with Domo in Salt Lake
City, Utah from August 2011 to February 2015. Biederman was recruited from his
former employer Adobe Systems Inc. directly by Domo’s CEO Josh James. Mr.
4
James and Mr. Biederman had been acquaintances in high school. Additionally, Mr.
Biederman and Mr. James had worked together at Omniture Inc. and Adobe Systems
Inc.
10. When Mr. Biederman was being recruited by Mr. James, Mr. James
promised Mr. Biederman an equity stake in Domo—specifically, “2/3 of one tenth
of one percent of the Company” according to Mr. James. After Mr. Biederman was
employed by the Company, Biederman was offered equity in the Company.
Specifically, Mr. Biederman was granted 70,000 stock options to purchase Class B
Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the Domo, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive
Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), upon the vesting of those options.
11. From Mr. Biederman’s receipt of the stock options, he had questions
regarding the number of outstanding shares of stock and the value of the stock.
Additionally, Biederman wanted to know if he had truly been granted “2/3 of one
tenth of one percent of the Company” as had been promised by Mr. James. He also
was aware that he would be paying taxes on the fair market value of the stock, as
established by Domo, when he exercised his options. However, he was unable to
obtain any information regarding this, or any information regarding the value of the
Company’s stock.
12. As of January 2015, 64,166 of Mr. Biederman’s 70,000 options had
vested under the Incentive Plan. On or about January 14, 2015, Mr. Biederman
5
purchased 10,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, at a total price $3,200.00.
13. Immediately following Mr. Biederman’s purchase of the Common
Stock, Biederman continued his request for information from the Company in order
to help him value his shares. Biederman continued to meet with resistance from
Domo’s executives who refused to provide any information.
14. On or about February 4, 2015, only a few days after Mr. Biederman
purchased his stock and sought information, Mr. Biederman was terminated by
Domo. As part of his termination from the Company, Biederman entered into a
Separation Agreement and Release (the “Separation Agreement”). Despite Mr.
Biederman’s termination from the Company, he still maintained the 54,166 stock
options that had vested and that had not been exercised. On or about June 24, 2015,
Mr. Biederman purchased 54,166 shares of Class B Common Stock, the balance of
his vested options, at a total price of $17,332.12.
B. Biederman Continues His Effort to Seek Information from Domo.
15. Biederman remained concerned about the valuation of his shares of
Common Stock, and continued to seek information. On or about January 2, 2016,
Biederman reached out to a Domo executive, Mr. John Golightly, a member of
Domo’s finance team who had handled stockholder relations, stating:
Hi John,
6
I would like to get a copy of the annual report and all the other financial details I am entitled to as a shareholder. If there is an annual shareholder meeting, I would like to be invited. Best, Jay Biederman
Ex. C (email chain) at p. 5.
16. Three days later on January 5, 2016, email, Ms. Karen Moran, the
Company’s Vice President of Investor Relations & Treasury sent an email
introducing herself, stating, “At the current time we aren’t providing annual reports
or distributing financial information to shareholders. We also haven’t hosted any
annual shareholder meetings, although we plan to do at some point in the future.
Once we commence with those activities we will make sure you are included.” See
Ex. C at p. 4.
17. Mr. Biederman responded back to Ms. Moran the same day, “As I
understand it, as a shareholder I am entitled to basic financial information about the
company by law. Would you agree? If not, would you please explain?” Ex. C at p.
4. Ms. Moran replied, copying the Company’s Secretary and General Counsel Dan
Stevenson, Esq.:
Hi Jay,
Since Domo is a privately held company, shareholders are not entitled to financial information as a matter of law. If there is a particular law or right that you’re thinking of, I’d be glad to take your question to our general counsel, but unlike publicly traded companies, private
7
companies are not obligated to disclose financial information to shareholders.
Karen Moran VP Investor Relations & Treasury
Id. (emphasis added).
18. After receiving Ms. Moran’s email, Mr. Biederman responded back on
January 7, 2016, noting to Ms. Moran that his stock certificate stated that he could
obtain certain information. Biederman wrote:
Hi Karen,
My stock certificate states…
“a statement of all the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon respective classes and or series of share of stock of the corporation and upon the holders thereof may be obtained by any stockholder upon request and without charge, at the principal office of the corporation, and the corporation will furnish any stockholder upon request, and without charge a copy of such request”
Would you please email me the statement of all the rights, preferences, privileges and restriction granted to or imposed upon all of the respective classes and or series of share of stock of the corporation?
Ex. C at p. 3. Ms. Moran responded back that she would “check with the legal
team and revert back with a response as soon as I am able to.” Id.
19. After waiting six days and having received no response from the
Company, Mr. Biederman repeated his request for the information on January 13,
2016. See Ex. C. at p. 2. Mr. Biederman asked that Domo follow up with their
counsel regarding Domo’s position “on whether or not Domo is required by the laws
8
of the State of Delaware to provide corporate financial documentation to a
shareholder upon request ‐ as I am interested in obtaining this information if it is my
right.” Id.
20. The following day, Ms. Moran, again copying the Company’s General
Counsel, Mr. Stevenson, responded by sending a copy of Domo’s Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, a certificate of amendment (from July 2015),
and copies of Mr. Biederman’s stock option exercise agreements that Mr. Biederman
had himself sent the Company. See Ex. C at p. 2. However, the Company refused
to send the requested financial information. Ms. Moran stated:
With regard to financial information, Domo does not provide financial information to common shareholders.
Here’s a link to more information on this point: http:// www.inc.com/encyclopedia/sec‐disclosure‐laws‐and‐regulations.html “Companies that are privately owned are not required by law to disclose detailed financial and operating information in most instances. They enjoy wide latitude in deciding what types of information to make available to the public. Small businesses and other enterprises that are privately owned may shield information from public knowledge and determine for themselves who needs to know specific types of information.”
Id. (emphasis added).
C. Biederman Issues a Formal Demand Under Section 220.
21. On February 3, 2016, Mr. Biederman sent a formal demand pursuant to
Section 220 to Domo (the “Demand”) (Ex. D). In the Demand, Mr. Biederman made
clear that his purpose for his demand was “to enable [him] to value [his] holdings in
9
Domo Common Stock, which potentially makes up a significant portion of [his] net
worth.” The Demand was made under oath and otherwise complied with all
statutory requirements under Section 220.
22. Despite Mr. Biederman’s compliance with Section 220, the Company
continued its stonewalling. After one month of not receiving anything other than a
statement from the Company’s General Counsel that the Company was “evaluating
[Biederman’s] request and will be in touch soon” (see Ex. E at p. 3), Biederman
emailed the General Counsel, Mr. Stevenson, on March 4, 2016, demanding the
production of financials.
23. Rather than producing documents, Mr. Stevenson responded four days
later claiming that he was not certain that he understood what Mr. Biederman was
looking for. See Ex. E at p. 3. Biederman responded back on March 9, 2016: “I
have stated clearly what I am looking for in the affidavit. Please send the documents
immediately and I will contact you if they are inadequate.” Id. Thereafter, Mr.
Stevenson replied on March 9, “Before any information is shared, we’ll need to have
an NDA [non-disclosure agreement]. My questions relate to your stated purpose and
what you’re asking for. Let me know when you have a few minutes to talk.” Id. at
2.
10
24. No documents were forthcoming and no NDA was forwarded.
Recognizing that the Company was continuing to stall, Mr. Biederman emailed Mr.
Stevenson again on March 22, 2016:
Dan,
Please send NDA via email. As I’m sure you understand, all communications need to be in email, not over the phone. My request and intent can be clarified no further than what is stated in the affidavit, nor does it need be by law. Regards,
Jay Biederman Id. The Company did not respond to this email.
25. On April 2, 2016, Mr. Biederman sent a follow-up email to Mr.
Stevenson stating that he had not received the documents he had requested or the
NDA. See Ex. E at 2 (concluding “I must assume at this point that you are refusing
to provide them.”). Rather than producing documents, the General Counsel
responded:
When you separated from Domo you signed a separation agreement. A copy of this agreement is attached for your reference. You were paid a $36,000 in [sic] severance under the terms of the agreement. As part of the agreement, you made several commitments to Domo, including a covenant in Section 8(a) not to “disparage the Company or one or more of its employees or shareholders in any manner likely to be harmful to them or their business, business reputation or personal reputation…” It has come to my attention that you have breached this contractual obligation on multiple occasions [sic]. Domo reserves all of its rights to enforce the separation agreement, recover the severance amounts paid, and any other damages it is entitled to recover.
11
Id. at 1. After threatening Biederman with a claim of breach, Stevenson wrote with
respect to Biederman’s demand:
With regard to your request, there is significant doubt about the purpose you’ve cited. Just as important to Domo, your disregard for previous contractual commitments raises real concerns about entering into an NDA with you and entrusting you with sensitive information.
Id. This was Mr. Biederman’s last email exchange with the Company.
D. The Wall Street Journal Runs an Article and Domo Files Suit.
26. On May 24, 2016, The Wall Street Journal ran an article entitled
“Startup Employees Invoke Obscure Law to Open Up Books” written by Rolfe
Winker. See Ex. F (the “WSJ Article”). In the article, Mr. Winkler highlighted
Biederman’s own efforts to obtain financial information regarding his ownership of
stock:
For more than a year, Jay Biederman has pestered Domo Inc. for its financial statements. The former manager wants to estimate how much his tens of thousands of shares in the tech startup are worth. Domo, whose software analyzes corporate data, has rejected those requests, he said, keeping its financial records under wraps like most privately held startups. But the law may be on Mr. Biederman’s side. He recently discovered section 220 of Delaware’s corporate law, which can compel locally incorporated companies such as Domo to open up their books to shareholders. The law, little known in Silicon Valley, is a potentially valuable tool for thousands of tech workers who received stock awards to join fast-growing startups, as well as other small investors, who now question their shares’ worth.
12
Id. at pp. 1-2. The WSJ Article concluded:
Mr. Biederman, who last year exercised his options at 32 cents a share, said the company has asked him to sign a nondisclosure agreement before sharing financial information. He says Domo has yet to send it to him. A Domo spokeswoman declined to comment.
Id. at p. 5.
27. Eight days after the WSJ Article ran, Domo filed a Complaint in Utah
State Court (the “Utah Complaint”) seeking injunctive relief and damages for
alleged “defamation” and breaches of Biederman’s Separation Agreement and a
Company “Proprietary Information, Invention Assignment, Non-Competition and
Arbitration Agreement.” See Ex. G (Utah Complaint and exhibits thereto).1
Additionally, Domo filed an AAA Demand for Arbitration (the “AAA Demand”)
against Biederman on June 2, 2016, seeking nearly $300,000.00 in damages on the
1 The Utah Complaint contains a number of baseless allegations related to Biederman’s re-posting of articles concerning “bad behavior” at start-up companies on his Facebook page. See Ex. G (Utah Complaint) at ¶ 14. The Utah Complaint alleges that because the reposted articles discuss a “frat house” culture at certain start-ups, Biederman’s post by inference “casts Domo in a negative light and injured its reputation among prospective employees.” Id. ¶¶ 14(a) and (b). Additionally, because Biederman reposted an article entitled “Time for adult supervision at Domo?” Domo alleges that Biederman is, by implication, suggesting that “Domo is both deceptive and over-valued.” Id. at ¶ 14(c). The Utah Complaint also pulls comments out of context (see id. at ¶ 14(d)) and falsely alleges that “Biederman contributed to a Business Insider article which was entitled “Insiders tell us that Domo, the $2 billion startup that out of nowhere, is full of hype.” Id. at ¶ 14(f).
13
same day as the Utah Complaint. (Collectively, the Utah State Court and AAA
proceedings will be referred to herein as the “Utah Litigation.”)
E. Domo’s Purported “Negotiation” of an NDA.
28. Shortly after receiving notice of Domo’s claims against, Mr.
Biederman, through undersigned counsel, contacted Domo’s counsel in Salt Lake
City on June 9, 2016. Biederman’s counsel stated that the timing of the Utah
Litigation was obviously tied to both the WSJ Article and the effort of Biederman to
enforce his rights as a stockholder pursuant to Section 220, and that Biederman
would be seeking relief under Section 220 for the failure to allow inspection.
Additionally, Biederman’s counsel raised additional concerns, including the failure
of Domo to hold an annual meeting and other concerns regarding his rights as a
stockholder.
29. Domo’s Utah counsel remained non-committal regarding whether he
was aware of the WSJ Article and disclaimed knowledge of the demand for
inspection. However, the day after the call with Domo’s Utah counsel, Biederman’s
counsel was advised that Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati (“Wilson Sonsini”)
would be handling all issues regarding the books and records inspection.
30. During the first call between Wilson Sonsini and Biederman’s counsel
on or about June 24, 2016, Wilson Sonsini promised that documents would be
produced to Biederman, but that such production would be subject to a “standard
14
NDA.” However, the “standard NDA” in Domo’s view was an NDA that would
include a “liquidated damages” provision assessable against Biederman if he in any
way “breached” the NDA.
31. Biederman’s counsel immediately responded that an NDA with a
liquidated damages provision was a complete non-starter and was by definition not
a “standard NDA.” Biederman’s counsel advised that if an NDA with a liquidated
damages provision was sent over for review, Biederman would not sign it but would
instead seek relief under Section 220.
32. On June 29, 2016, Wilson Sonsini sent its first draft of the NDA to
Biederman’s counsel. While the draft did not include a liquidated damages
provision, it included a number of overly broad and onerous provisions, including:
Provisions which shifted attorney’s fees solely in favor of the Company in any action to enforce the terms of the NDA if the Company was successful in obtaining “some form of relief”;
Provisions which sought to have Biederman concede that the Utah Litigation did not arise or relate to Biederman’s demand for inspection under Section 220;
Provisions which described “[p]rohibited” usage as “any other” usage of the documents – effectively placing the risk of breach on Biederman for an open-ended and undefined use;
Provisions which acknowledged that even though Biederman was seeking to value his shares, Biederman would not be able to show the financial documents to anyone other than his Delaware counsel; and
15
Provisions which gave the Company rights to audit Biederman to determine whether documents had been shared and with whom they had been shared.
33. Perhaps most troubling was the fact that the confidentiality restrictions
were so tight as to inhibit Plaintiff from potentially filing a claim to protect or enforce
his rights as a stockholder even if on the face of the documents produced as part of
the Section 220 inspection a claim emerged. The NDA had the effect of depriving
Biederman of his rights as a stockholder.
34. Following a mark-up of the NDA by Biederman which sought to strike
several of these provisions, and another revision by Domo which reinserted them,
counsel held a meet and confer on July 19, 2016. During the meet and confer,
Biederman’s counsel stated, among other things, that while an NDA could be used
to protect the confidentiality of the documents, it could not be used to prevent a party
from filing a claim if the documents produced as a result of Section 220 production
gave rise to the claim. For example, if the documents produced showed, for
example, fraud, a party could not be inhibited from bringing a claim based on what
was learned.
35. Domo refused to agree, claiming instead that because the Demand had
focused on valuation of the stock, Biederman would need to broaden his Demand –
i.e., start-over – if he received documents which gave rise to a claim.
16
36. Domo also raised concerns that Biederman was seeking to use the
Section 220 as a means of discovery in the Utah Litigation. This was despite the
fact that Domo had initiated the Utah Litigation. Domo insisted that Biederman
would need to keep any documents received as part of the Section 220 demand out
of the hands of his Utah counsel.
37. However, Biederman raised the issue that he needed the ability to
communicate freely with his Utah counsel in support of his defense of “truth” to the
alleged defamation/disparagement claims. Since Biederman was alleged to have
damaged Domo by reposting articles concerning the value of the Company being
“hype,” what Biederman learned as part of his review of valuation documents
through the Section 220 inspection tied directly into his “truth” defense.
38. Domo also raised concerns regarding Biederman’s striking of the one-
sided attorney’s fee provision. Biederman’s counsel advised that he was not willing
to toss out the American rule in favor of Domo, a purportedly $2 billion company
with a multi-million litigation budget who could bankrupt Biederman.
39. The parties agreed that Biederman would revise the Domo draft in an
effort to work through the differences. A revised draft was sent to Wilson Sonsini
on July 28, 2016. See Ex. H (email from Kittila to Sorrels). The draft NDA
represented Biederman’s best attempt at bridging the gap between the parties and
receiving the documents he had been demanding for months.
17
40. Unfortunately, on August 2, 2016, Wilson Sonsini sent a further revised
draft stating that it would not agree to key revisions in Biederman’s draft of the
NDA. See Ex. I (email from Sorrels to Kittila). While a concession was finally
made on the attorney’s fee provision, Domo continued (among other things) to
refuse to allow Biederman to use the documents that he obtained “in any action or
potential action to defend or enforce Stockholder’s rights as a stockholder of the
Company” even though Biederman agreed that he would take “appropriate steps” to
“maintain the confidentiality of any such filing or potential filing.” Id. at redline pp.
3-4.
41. Domo’s only solution to the issue was that Biederman would need to
start over with the demand process – something that would lead to only further delay
and obfuscation of the issues involved.
42. Biederman remains plainly concerned that the abuses that he has
suffered to date – the outright refusal to provide information, the attempted
imposition of onerous restrictions, the filing of baseless litigation resulting as a result
of seeking to enforce his rights as stockholder – will only continue unless there is
Court intervention. At bottom, Biederman has not received any Company financials
despite his right under Section 220.
18
F. Domo’s Bad Faith Justifies an Award of Attorney’s Fees.
43. The refusal of Domo to produce documents and the conduct at issue by
Domo has been in bad faith. For months, Domo’s officers refused to provide
information, even in the face of direct authority under Delaware law providing a
basis for the inspection of books and records.
44. Domo’s own General Counsel, a purportedly practicing attorney sitting
at the helm of a Delaware corporation, was made aware of the representations of a
company officer that common stockholders were not entitled to financial
information. Despite the obligation to respond within five business days, Domo’s
General Counsel, an officer of the Company, allowed months to pass without any
information being provided.
45. In the face of a perfected demand for inspection, Domo’s General
Counsel began to raise issues of “defamation,” “disparagement,” and breach of
various agreements in an effort to dissuade Biederman to forego his inspection
demand. Thereafter, Domo filed the Utah Litigation as a direct result of Biederman
exercising his rights as a stockholder of the Company. Additionally, the Utah
Litigation was filed to muzzle Biederman after the WSJ Article was printed
describing his issues with Domo and his exercise of his statutory rights as a
stockholder of the Company.
19
46. Following intervention of Delaware counsel, Domo promised to
produce documents, but then sought to apply an overbroad and onerous NDA that
would effectively deprive Biederman of his ability to protect his rights as a
stockholder.
47. The behavior by Domo and its officers to date have been completely
contrary to Delaware public policy and have cost Biederman thousands in attorney’s
fees in seeking to defend his right as a stockholder. Domo’s conduct is in bad faith
and should result in a reversal of attorney’s fees in favor of Biederman. Domo
cannot justify its conduct under the law or in equity and is contrary to Delaware
public policy.
48. Plaintiff has no adequate remedy at law.
COUNT I (Inspection of Books and Records Under 8 Del. C. § 220)
49. Plaintiff repeats and realleges paragraphs 1 through 48 of the Verified
Complaint as if fully set forth herein.
50. Plaintiff, a stockholder of record of the Company, has delivered the
Demand to inspect books and records of the Company. Plaintiff has fully complied
with the provisions of Section 220 respecting the form and manner of the Demand.
Plaintiff has further stated a proper purpose for his Demand and limited his Demand
to materials that are essential for accomplishing such purposes.
20
51. The Company has outright refused to produce the requested books and
records. After agreeing to produce the requested books and records after months of
demands, the Company has said that it will only produce the information subject to
an unreasonable and onerous confidentiality agreement. Thereafter, despite the best
efforts of Plaintiff to negotiate a reasonable NDA, the Company has refused to agree.
52. As such, the Company has failed to comply with its duties under
Section 220.
53. Plaintiff has no adequate remedy at law.
PRAYER FOR RELIEF
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that the Court enter an Order:
(a) granting judgment in favor of Plaintiff and against the Company;
(b) summarily ordering the Company to provide to Plaintiff the requested
books and records, including the books and records of the Company
pursuant to Section 220;
(c) making a finding of bad faith and/or awarding Plaintiff his costs and
expenses incurred in bringing and prosecuting this action and defending
himself in the Utah Litigation (as a result of the Section 220 Demand),
including his attorneys’ fees;
(d) maintaining jurisdiction over the parties related to Plaintiff’s exercise
of his inspection rights; and
21
(e) awarding such other and further relief as may be just and equitable in
the circumstances.
