NEW YORK, March 15, 2019 – Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C. announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Conduent, Inc. (NYSE: CNDT) securities between February 21, 2018 and November 6, 2018 (the “Class Period”). Investors have until May 7, 2019 to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.
The complaint alleges that by February 2018, defendants began to represent to investors that Conduent had exited the transformation phase and had cured inefficiencies caused by operating on multiple information resource platforms. However, as demonstrated by defendants' admissions on November 7, 2018, those representations were false, and Conduent remained mired in inadequate technology and third-party agreements that it had been saddled with upon its divestiture from Xerox. During a November 7, 2018 conference call, CEO Ashok Vemuri stated ''we have had continued suboptimal performance from an inherited legacy technology vendor. The performance issues stem from the vendors inability to deliver on service level agreements, lack of responsiveness to Conduent's needs, and poorly structured contracts which we inherited.'' Vemuri also noted that an ''outdated and historically under-invested legacy IT infrastructure has caused major disruptions to our operations and impacted client and delivery performance.''
