According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Vodafone initiated extensive data migration away from Rackspace servers, signaling Vodafone's intent to replace Rackspace with alternative providers on the contract's April 1, 2015 expiration date; (2) the failure to secure a renewal of the Vodafone Contract would have a significant near-term financial impact on Rackspace's 2015 recurring revenues; and (3) as a result, defendants lacked a reasonable basis for their positive statements about Rackspace and its growth prospects.

Beginning in May 2015, a series of disclosures revealed the non-renewal of the Vodafone Contract and its substantial impact on Rackspace's financial performance and business prospects. In reaction to these revelations, shares of Rackspace fell from a Class Period high of nearly $56 per share on April 27, 2015 to close at $29.24 per share on August 11, 2015, damaging investors.
