The law firm of Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP reminds that an
investor securities fraud class action lawsuit has been filed against
Box, Inc. (NYSE: BOX) (“Box”) on behalf of those who purchased or
otherwise acquired Box securities between November 28, 2018 and
June 3, 2019, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

Box investors who purchased securities during the Class Period
may, no later than August 5, 2019, seek to
be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class.

Investors who wish to discuss this securities fraud class action lawsuit
or request additional information about this litigation are encouraged

According to the complaint, Box provides a cloud content management
platform that enables secure access to content.

The Class Period commences on November 28, 2018, when Box announced its
third quarter 2018 financial results.

The complaint alleges that, on February 27, 2019, Box reported fourth
quarter revenue that fell below investors’ expectations, citing longer
sales cycles for seven-figure deals. Following this news, Box’s share
price fell $4.64, or nearly 19%, to close at $20.24 on February 28, 2019.

Then, on June 3, 2019, after the market closed, Box lowered its fiscal
2020 revenue outlook to a range of $688 million to $692 million, from
previous guidance of $700 million to $704 million, again citing longer
sales cycles for its larger deals. Following this news, Box’s share
price fell as much as $1.30, or more than 7%, to close at $17.18 per
share on June 4, 2019.

The complaint further alleges that defendants Dylan Smith (“Smith”), the
Chief Financial Officer during the Class Period, and Daniel J. Levin
(“Levin”), a director of Box during the Class Period, took advantage of
the artificially inflated price of Box stock resulting from the false
statements by selling a significant amount of their personally held
shares in the days and weeks preceding the February 27, 2019 and June 3,
2019 disclosures. Smith received proceeds of $1,699,589 from selling
approximately 7% of his holdings. Levin received proceeds of $3,801,032
from selling approximately 60% of his holdings. Such dramatic selling
was inconsistent with the prior trading practices of Smith and Levin.

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, the defendants
failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Box was unable to close large
deals within the quarter; (2) as a result, Box’s revenue would be
materially impacted; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, the
defendants’ positive statements about Box’s business, operations, and
prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

Box investors may, no later
than August 5, 2019, seek to be appointed as a lead
plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer &
Check, or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an
absent class member. A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts
on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation. In order to
be appointed as a lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the
class member’s claim is typical of the claims of other class members,
and that the class member will adequately represent the class. Your
ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision of
whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff.
