Class Definition
This lawsuit seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws on behalf of all persons and entities that (1) purchased or otherwise acquired EngageSmart common stock between October 23, 2023, and January 26, 2024, inclusive (the "Class Period"); or (2) held EngageSmart common stock as of the December 21, 2023 record date for the Merger.

Case Details
The complaint alleges violations of the federal securities laws in connection with the January 2024 take-private acquisition of the Company (the "Merger") by Vista Equity Partners Management, LLC and its affiliates. Specifically, the complaint alleges that the Merger was driven by and dominated by controlling shareholder General Atlantic, L.P. and its affiliates and assisted by conflicted financial and legal advisors retained by the special committee purported to evaluate the merger and EngageSmart's board of directors, and that these conflicts wholly tainted the merger process, resulting in a conflicted and unfair sales process that prevented Class Members from making an informed vote on the Merger.
