Case3:14-cv-04516-LB Document1-1 Filed10/08/14 Page3 of 38

1

Plaintiff Plymouth County Retirement System ("Plymouth County" or "Plaintiff') alleges the

2 following based upon the investigation of Plaintiffs counsel, which included a review of United States

3 Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings by Model N, Inc. ("Model N" or the

4 "Company"), as well as regulatory filings and reports, securities analysts' reports and advisories about

5 the Company, press releases and other public statements issued by the Company, and media reports

6 about the Company. Plaintiff believes that substantial additional evidentiary support will exist for the

7 allegations set forth herein after a reasonable opportunity for discovery.

8

NATURE OF THE ACTION

9

1. This is a securities class action on behalf of all purchasers of the common stock of Model

10 N pursuant and/or traceable to the Registration Statement and Prospectus issued in connection with

11 Model N's March 20, 2013 initial public stock offering (the "IPO"), seeking to pursue remedies under

12 the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act").

13

2. Pursuant to the Securities Act, defendants are strictly liable for the material

14 misstatements in the Prospectus (as defined herein) issued in connection with the IPO, and the claims

15 herein specifically exclude any allegations of knowledge or scienter. The claims in this action are based

16 solely on strict liability and negligence, and are not based on any reckless or intentionally fraudulent

17 conduct by or on behalf of defendants - I e, they do not allege, arise from, or sound in, fraud. Plaintiff

18 specifically disclaims any allegation of fraud, scienter, or recklessness in these non-fraud claims

19

JURISDICTION AND VENUE

20

3. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over the causes of action asserted herein

21 pursuant to the California Constitution, Article VI, § 10, because this case is a cause not given by statute

22 to other trial courts. This action is not removable. The claims alleged herein arise under §§ 11, 12(a)(2)

23 and 15 of the Securities Act, 15 U.S.C. §77k, 771(a)(2) and 77o. Jurisdiction is conferred by §22 of

24 the Securities Act and venue is proper pursuant to §22 of the Securities Act. Section 22 of the

25 Securities Act explicitly states that "[e]xcept as provided in section 16(c), no case arising under this title

26 and brought in any State court of competent jurisdiction shall be removed to any court in the United

27 States" Section 16(c) refers to "covered class actions," which are defined as lawsuits brought as class

28 actions or brought on behalf of more than 50 persons asserting claims under state or common law. This

Case3:14-cv-04516-LB Document1-1 Filed10/08/14 Page4 of 38

1 is an action asserting federal law claims. Thus, it does not fall within the definition of "covered class

2 action" under §16(b)-(c) and therefore is not removable to federal court. See Luther v Countrywide

3 Fin. Corp, 195 Cal. App. 4th 789, 792 (2d Dist. 2011) ("The federal Securities Act of 1933 . . . as

4 amended by the Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act. . . provides for concurrent jurisdiction for

5 cases asserting claims under the 1933 Act."); Luther v. Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP, 533

6 F.3d 1031, 1032 (9th Cir. 2008) ("Section 22(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 creates concurrent

7 jurisdiction in state and federal courts over claims arising under the Act It also specifically provides

8 that such claims brought in state court are not subject to removal to federal court.").

9

4. This Court has personal jurisdiction over each of the defendants named herein because

10 they conducted business in and/or were citizens of California at the time of the IPO (including Model N,

11 which maintained its principal place of business in this State and County at the time of the IPO, and

12 each of the Individual Defendants (defined below), all of whom reside or work in California). Each of

13 the Underwriter Defendants (defined below) also has offices in and/or conducts significant business in

14 this jurisdiction as well. The violations of law complained of herein also occurred in California,

15 including the preparation and dissemination of the materially false and misleading Registration

16 Statement complained of herein, which statements were disseminated into this State.

17

5. Venue is proper in this Court because defendants' wrongful acts arose in and emanated

18 from this County. At the time of the IPO, Model N's principal executive offices were located at 1800

19 Bridge Parkway, Redwood City, California, and are currently located at 1600 Seaport Boulevard, Suite

20 400, Pacific Shores Center— Building 6, Redwood City, California. Individual Defendants Breyer and

21 Robel each reside in San Mateo County, and Individual Defendants Rinat, Jam, Friar and Garrett, who

22 reside, respectively, in the California counties of Santa Clara, Santa Clara, Mann and Santa Clara,

23 undertook activities related to the IPO from Model N's San Mateo County headquarters.

24

PARTIES

25

6. Plaintiff Plymouth County purchased Model N common stock pursuant and/or traceable

26 to the IPO, and was damaged thereby.

13

14 Defendants." Pursuant to the Securities Act, the Underwriter Defendants are liable for the false and

15 misleading statements in the Registration Statement as follows:

16

(a) The Underwriter Defendants are investment banking houses that specialize, inter

17 alia, in underwriting public offerings of securities They served as the underwriters of the IPO and

18 shared more than $8.4 million in fees collectively. The Underwriter Defendants determined that in

19 return for their share of the IPO proceeds, they were willing to merchandize Model N stock in the IPO.

20 The Underwriter Defendants arranged a multi-city roadshow prior to the IPO during which they, and

21 representatives from Model N, met with potential investors and presented highly favorable information

22 about the Company, its operation, and its financial prospects.

23

(b) The Underwriter Defendants also demanded and obtained an agreement from

24 Model N that Model N would indemnify and hold the Underwriter Defendants harmless from any

25 liability under the federal securities laws They also made certain that Model N had purchased millions

26 of dollars in directors' and officers' liability insurance.

27

28 I Individual Defendants in planning the IPO, and purportedly conducted an adequate and reasonable

1 investigation into the business and operations of Model N, an undertaking known as a "due diligence"

2 investigation. The due diligence investigation was required of the Underwriter Defendants in order to

3 engage in the IPO. During the course of their "due diligence," the Underwriter Defendants had

4 continual access to confidential corporate information concerning Model N's operations and financial

5 prospects.

6

(d) In addition to availing themselves of virtually unbridled access to internal

7 corporate documents, agents of the Underwriter Defendants met with Model N's lawyers, management

8 and top executives and engaged in "drafting sessions" between at least December 2012 and March

9 2013 During these sessions, understandings were reached as to. (i) the strategy to best accomplish the

10 IPO, (ii) the terms of the IPO, including the price at which Model N stock would be sold; (iii) the

11 language to be used in the Registration Statement; (iv) what disclosures about Model N would be made

12 in the Registration Statement; and (v) what responses would be made to the SEC in connection with its

13 review of the Registration Statement. As a result of those constant contacts and communications

14 between the Underwriter Defendants' representatives and Model N's management and top executives,

15 the Underwriter Defendants knew of, or in the exercise of reasonable care should have known of, Model

16 N's existing problems as detailed herein.

17

(e) The Underwriter Defendants caused the Registration Statement to be filed with

18 I the SEC and declared effective in connection with the offers and sales of securities registered thereby,

19 including those to Plaintiff and the other members of the Class.

20

22. The true names and capacities of defendants sued herein under California Code of Civil

21 Procedure §474 as Does 1 through 25, inclusive, are presently not known to plaintiff, who therefore

22 sues these defendants by such fictitious names. Plaintiff will seek to amend this Complaint and include

23 these Doe defendants' true names and capacities when they are ascertained. Each of the fictitiously

24 named defendants is responsible in some manner for the conduct alleged herein and for the injuries

25 suffered by the Class.

26

SUBSTANTIVE ALLEGATIONS

27

23 Defendant Model N is a Revenue Management solutions provider to the life science and

28 I technology industries. Revenue Management is an emerging enterprise application category that

Case3:14-cv-04516-LB Document1-1 Filed10/08/14 Page8 of 38

1 purports to help companies to align and improve the processes of pricing and quoting, contract

2 development and management, trade settlements and channel incentives, in order to eliminate the

3 revenue leakage and reduce the financial regulatory compliance risk that can cost companies millions

4 per year According to Model N, Revenue Management has become a core, strategic focus for

5 companies from industries that deal with competitive pricing, complex contracts, and multiple channels.

6

24. Though it competes against better capitalized firms like Oracle Corporation and

7 HealthStream, Inc., Model N purports to offer a unique approach, optimized for life sciences and

8 technology companies, that combines industry specific solutions and best practices expertise to enable

9 their customers to better plan and control the processes that drive the entire revenue life cycle for their

10 business.

11

25. On December 11, 2012, Model N filed with the SEC a confidential draft Registration

12 Statement on Form S-i, which would later be utilized for the IPO following several amendments in

13 response to various rounds of comments by the SEC and being filed with the SEC publicly on February

14 13, 2013. On March 19, 2013, the SEC declared the Registration Statement effective. On or about

15 March 20,2013, Model N and the Underwriter Defendants priced the TO and filed the final Prospectus

16 for the IPO, which forms part of the Registration Statement (collectively, the "Registration Statement")

17

26 The Registration Statement was negligently prepared and, as a result, contained untrue

18 statements of material facts and/or omitted to state facts necessary to make the statements made not

19 misleading and was not prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations governing its preparation

20 Specifically, at the time of the IPO, Model N was then experiencing a disruption in its sales force which

21 was negatively impacting the Company's ability to close sales and causing significant sales execution

22 issues. Given the Company's extended sales cycle for its products, the Company's sales execution

23 issues were highly likely to impact the Company's continuing operations, as the Company lost sales

24 opportunities or sales were delayed, and, therefore, these issues were required to be disclosed in the

25 Registration Statement but were not.

26

27. The Registration Statement positively described the Company's sales force

27 competencies, stating in pertinent part as follows:

Case3:14-cv-04516-LB Document1-1 Filed10/08/14 Page10 of 38

• Comprehensive approach to revenue management. Our integrated, end-to- end application suites enable our customers to transform their revenue

2 management processes from disjointed operations into a cohesive strategic end-

to-end process for decision making and process automation.

• Deep domain knowledge. Our expertise in the revenue management needs of

4

life science and technology companies enables us to develop solutions that address the unique demands of these industries.

5

6 • Strong installed customer base. We have established a reputation for

delivering revenue management solutions to leading life science and technology customers. We believe that the use of our products by respected industry leaders also increases the value of our brand in these industries. 7

• Flexible delivery options. Our modern, web-based platform supports both on- premise and cloud deployments. By offering both delivery options, we are able

j9

to reach a larger group of customers, address their unique needs and deliver cost and operational benefits.

10 • Talented team focused on customer success. We employ experts from the life

11 science and technology industries in key customer-facing and development

roles, resulting in close relationships with our customers and a strong reference

12

base for new sales opportunities.

13

14

We have enjoyed renewal ratesfor maintenance and support in excess of 95% during fiscal years ended September 30, 2010, 2011 and 2012.

15 29. The Registration Statement purported to warn investors about the extended sales cycle

16 for the Company's products without disclosing that at the time of the IPO the Company was then

17 experiencing sales execution issues that threatened to further impede and delay the sales process. The

18 Registration Statement stated in pertinent part as follows

19 Our sales efforts are targeted at larger enterprise customers, and as a result, we

20

face greater costs, must devote greater sales support to individual customers, have longer sales cycles and have less predictability in completing some of our sales Also,

21 sales to large enterprises often require us to provide greater levels of education

regarding the use and benefits of our solutions. We believe that our customers view the

22 purchase of our solutions as a significant and strategic decision. As a result, customers

carefully evaluate our solutions, often over long periods with a variety of internal

23 constituencies. In addition, the sales of our solutions may be subject to delays if the

customer has lengthy internal budgeting, approval and evaluation processes, which are

24

quite common in the context of introducing large enterprise-wide technology solutions. As a result it is difficult to predict the timing of our future sales.

25 30. Similarly the Registration Statement purported to warn investors about the importance of

26 the Company's direct sales force, but failed to disclose the sales execution issues then facing the

27 Company. The Registration Statement stated in pertinent part as follows:

We rely almost exclusively on our direct sales force to sell our solutions. We believe that our future growth will depend, to a significant extent, on the continued development of our direct sales force and its ability to manage and retain our existing customer base, expand the sales of our solutions to existing customers and obtain new customers. Because our software is complex and often must interoperate with complex computing requirements, it can take longer for our sales personnel to become fully productive compared to other software companies. Our ability to achieve significant growth in revenues in the future will depend, in large part, on our success in recruiting, training and retaining a sufficient number of direct sales personnel. New hires require significant training and may, in some cases, take more than a year before becoming fully productive, if at all. If we are unable to hire and develop sufficient numbers of productive direct sales personnel, and if these sales personnel are unable to achieve full productivity, sales of our solutions will suffer and our growth will be impeded.

31 The statements referenced above in ¶1127-30 were each inaccurate statements of material

fact because they failed to disclose that the Company was then experiencing a disruption in its sales

force which was negatively impacting the Company's ability to close sales and causing significant sales

execution issues.

32. Under the rules and regulations governing the preparation of the Registration Statement,

Model N was required to disclose at the time of the IPO that it was then experiencing sales execution

issues which were highly likely to impact continuing operations. The Registration Statement, however,

contained no such disclosures.

33. Pursuant to Item 303 of Regulation S-K (17 C F.R. §229.303), and the SEC's related

interpretive releases thereto, issuers are required to disclose events or uncertainties that have had or are

reasonably likely to cause the registrant's financial information not to be indicative of future operating

results, including any known trends. At the time of the IPO, Model N was experiencing significant

sales execution issues. Given the Company's extended sales cycle for its products, the Company's sales

execution issues were highly likely to impact the Company's continuing operations, as the Company

lost sales opportunities or sales were delayed, and, therefore, these issues were required to be disclosed

in the Registration Statement but were not.

34 The IPO was successful for the Company, the Selling Stockholder and the Underwriter

Defendants, who collectively sold 7.751 million shares of Model N common stock to the public at

$15.50 per share, raising more than $108 million in gross proceeds for the Company ($101 million, net

of underwriting discounts and commissions) and $11.47 million in gross proceeds for the Selling

Stockholder ($10.667 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions).

37. The members of the Class are so numerous thatjoinder of all members is impracticable

11 While the exact number of Class members is unknown to Plaintiff at this time and can only be

12 ascertained through appropriate discovery, Plaintiff believes that there are hundreds of members in the

13 proposed Class. Record owners and other members of the Class may be identified from records

14 maintained by Model N or its transfer agent and may be notified of the pendency of this action by mail,

15 using the form of notice similar to that customarily used in securities class actions.

16

38 Plaintiffs claims are typical of the claims of the members of the Class, as all members of

17 the Class are similarly affected by defendants' wrongful conduct in violation of federal law that is

18 complained of herein.

19

39. Plaintiff will fairly and adequately protect the interests of the members of the Class and

20 has retained counsel competent and experienced in class and securities litigation

21

40. Common questions of law and fact exist as to all members of the Class and predominate

22 over any questions solely affecting individual members of the Class. Among the questions of law and

23 fact common to the Class are

24

(a) whether defendants violated the Securities Act,

25

(b) whether the Registration Statement was negligently prepared and contained

26 inaccurate statements of material fact and omitted material information required to be stated therein;

27 and

(c) to what extent the members of the Class have sustained damages and the proper

2 measure of damages.

3

41. A class action is superior to all other available methods for the fair and efficient

4 adjudication of this controversy since joinder of all members is impracticable. Furthermore, as the

5 damages suffered by individual Class members may be relatively small, the expense and burden of

6 individual litigation make it impossible for members of the Class to individually redress the wrongs

7 done to them There will be no difficulty in the management of this action as a class action

8

FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION

9

For Violation of §11 of the Securities Act Against All Defendants

10 42. Plaintiff incorporates ¶111-41 by reference.

11 43. This Cause of Action is brought pursuant to §11 of the Securities Act, 15 U.S.C. §77k,

12 on behalf of the Class, against all defendants.

13 44. The Registration Statement for the IPO was inaccurate and misleading, contained untrue

14 statements of material facts, omitted to state other facts necessary to make the statements made not

15 misleading, and omitted to state material facts required to be stated therein.

16 45. Defendants are strictly liable to Plaintiff and the Class for the misstatements and

17 omissions.

18 46. None of the defendants named herein made a reasonable investigation or possessed

19 reasonable grounds for the belief that the statements contained in the Registration Statement were true

20 and without omissions of any material facts and were not misleading.

21 47. By reason of the conduct herein alleged, each defendant violated, and/or controlled a

22 person who violated, §11 of the Securities Act.

23 48. Plaintiff acquired Model N common stock pursuant to the IPO.

24 49. Plaintiff and the Class have sustained damages. The value of Model N common stock

25 has declined substantially subsequent to and due to defendants' violations.

26 50 At the time of their purchases of Model N common stock, Plaintiff and other members of

27 the Class were without knowledge of the facts concerning the wrongful conduct alleged herein and

For Violation of §12(a)(2) of the Securities Act Against All Defendants

8

51. Plaintiff incorporates ¶f 1-50 by reference 9

52. By means of the defective Prospectus, defendants promoted and sold Model N stock to 10

Plaintiff and other members of the Class. 11

53. The Prospectus contained untrue statements of material fact, and concealed and failed to 12

disclose material facts, as detailed above. Defendants owed Plaintiff and the other members of the 13

Class who purchased Model N common stock pursuant to the Prospectus the duty to make a reasonable 14

and diligent investigation of the statements contained in the Prospectus to ensure that such statements 15

were true and that there was no omission to state a material fact required to be stated in order to make 16

the statements contained therein not misleading. Defendants, in the exercise of reasonable care, should 17

have known of the misstatements and omissions contained in the Prospectus as set forth above. 18

54. Plaintiff did not know, nor in the exercise of reasonable diligence could have known, of 19

the untruths and omissions contained in the Prospectus at the time that Plymouth County acquired 20

Model N common stock. 21

55. By reason of the conduct alleged herein, defendants violated §12(a)(2) of the Securities. 22

Act. As a direct and proximate result of such violations, Plaintiff and the other members of the Class 23

who purchased Model N common stock pursuant to the Prospectus sustained substantial damages in 24

connection with their purchases of the stock. Accordingly, Plaintiff and the other members of the Class 25

who hold the common stock issued pursuant to the Prospectus have the right to rescind and recover the 26

consideration paid for their shares, and hereby tender their common stock to defendants sued herein. 27

Class members who have sold their common stock seek damages to the extent permitted by law. 28

Case Num~ei Certificate Re Complex Case Designation PI 5 V

This certificate must be completed and filed with your Civil Case Cover Sheet if you have checked a Complex Case designation or Counter-Designation

I. In the attached Civil Case Cover Sheet, this case is being designated or counter-designated as a complex case [or as not a complex case] because at least one or more of the following boxes has been checked:

Box 1 - Case type that is best described as being [or not being] provisionally complex civil litigation (i.e, antitrust or trade regulation claims, construction defect claims involving many parties or structures, securities claims or investment losses involving many parties, environmental or toxic tort claims involving many parties, claims involving mass torts, or insurance coverage claims arising out of any of the foregoing claims)

LN Box 2— Complex [or not complex] due to factors requiring exceptional judicial management

Lx Box 5 - Is [or is not] a class action suit.

2. This case is being so designated based upon the following supporting information [including, without limitation, a brief description of the following factors as they pertain to this particular case: (1) management of a large number of separately represented parties, (2) complexity of anticipated factual and/or legal issues, (3) numerous pretrial motions that will be time-consuming to resolve; (4) management of a large number of witnesses or a substantial amount of documentary evidence; (5) coordination with related actions

pending in one or more courts in other counties, states or countries or in a federal court; (6) whether or not certification of a putative class action will in fact be pursued; and (7) substantial post-judgment judicial supervision}

This case is provisionally complex as it involves securities claims.

In addition, it is being designated complex due to the large number

of parties, the complexity of factual and/or legal issues and because

certification of a putative class will be pursued.

(attach additional pages if necessary)

3. Based on the above-stated supporting information, there is a reasonable basis for the complex case designation or counter-designation [or noncomplex case counter-designation] being made in the attached Civil Case Cover Sheet.

I, the undersigned counsel or self-represented party, hereby certify that the above is true and correct and that I make this certification subject to the applicable provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure, Section 128.7 and/or California Rules of Professional Conduct, Rule 5-200 (B) and San Mateo County Superior Court Local Rules, Local Rule 2 30.
