What is this Case About: Active Network, a Global Payments Inc. (GPN) Subsidiary, Engaged in Deceptive Business Practices

According to the complaint, defendants failed to disclose that: (a) Active Network used deceptive and abusive acts and practices to dupe its customers into enrolling into Active Network’s own discount club; (b) since July 2011, Active Network, and by extension, Global Payments, was aware of such unauthorized conduct and that it was violating relevant regulations and laws aimed at protecting its consumers; and (c) since 2011, Global Payments failed to properly monitor its subsidiary from engaging in such unlawful conduct, detect and stop the misconduct, and identify and remediate harmed consumers. The foregoing subjected the Company to a foreseeable risk of heightened regulatory scrutiny or investigation.

On October 18, 2022, the truth about Global Payments’ practices was disclosed when the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) issued a complaint against Active Network for illegally cramming consumers with membership fees. On this news, the price of Global Payments' stock fell $1.33 to close at $113.67 on October 18, 2022.
