On July 9, 2024, a putative class action lawsuit, captioned Baxter v. MongoDB, Inc., et al. (Case No. 1:24-cv-5191), was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against MongoDB, former CEO Dev Ittycheria, and former COO and CFO Michael Gordon (the “Securities Action”). On January 27, 2025, the lead plaintiff in the Securities Action filed an Amended Complaint naming former Senior Vice President of Finance and former Interim CFO Srdjan Tanjga as an additional defendant. The operative complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act, and alleges that defendants made material misstatements and/or omissions, including regarding MongoDB’s sales strategy, growth projections and its financial results. The complaint is purportedly brought on behalf of a putative class of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired MongoDB common stock between June 1, 2023 and May 30, 2024. It seeks unspecified monetary damages, costs and attorneys’ fees, and other unspecified relief. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on May 9, 2025. Plaintiffs filed an opposition brief on July 1, 2025, and defendants filed their reply brief on July 29, 2025. On May 1, 2026, the Court entered an order granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss in part and denying it in part, as it relates to four specific statements. On May 15, 2026, Defendants filed a motion for reconsideration of the Court’s order on the motion to dismiss. The Company is unable to estimate any reasonably possible loss, or range of loss, with respect to these matters at this time. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter.
On October 7, 2024, a purported shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Roy v. Ittycheria et al. (Case. No. 1:24-cv-07594), against the Company, as a nominal defendant, and former CEO Dev Ittycheria, former COO and CFO Michael Gordon, and several of the Company’s current and former directors. The lawsuit alleges that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties and committed other alleged misconduct in connection with the statements at issue in the Securities Action and by causing the Company to issue allegedly false and misleading statements to investors. Another similar case, Silva v. Ittycheria et al. (Case No. 1:24-cv-9014) was subsequently filed in the same district on November 25, 2024 against MongoDB, as nominal defendant, and the same individual defendants as the Roy S.D.N.Y. action. It has been consolidated with the Roy action with the caption In re MongoDB, Inc. Shareholder Litigation (Case No. 1:24-cv-9014) (the “S.D.N.Y Derivative Litigation”). On September 12, 2025 another purported derivative action was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (Case No. 2025-1030) (the “Delaware Derivative Litigation”), against the Company, as a nominal defendant, and former CEO Dev Ittycheria, former COO and CFO Michael Gordon, and several of the Company’s current and former directors. The case is captioned Sansone v. Ittycheria, et al. The lawsuit, like the S.D.N.Y. Derivative Litigation, alleges that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties and committed other alleged misconduct in connection with the statements at issue in the Securities Action and by causing the Company to issue allegedly false and misleading statements to investors. The S.D.N.Y. Derivative Litigation and the Delaware Derivative Litigation have been stayed pending the outcome of the Court’s decision on the defendants’ motion for reconsideration in the Securities Action.
