PHILADELPHIA<\/span>, Berger Montague is investigating securities fraud claims against VMWare, Inc. (“VMWare” or the “Company”) on behalf of all purchasers of VMWare common stock (NYSE: VMW) between March 30, 2019<\/span> and February 27, 2020<\/span><\/strong> (the “Class Period”).<\/p>\n

If you purchased VMWare shares, have information, would like to discuss this investigation, or have any questions concerning your rights or interests, please contact our attorneys Barbara A. Podell, Esq.<\/span> at (215) 875-4690 or Andrew Abramowitz, Esq.<\/span> at (215) 875-3015, or visit www.bergermontague.com\/vmware.<\/p>\n

According to the lawsuit, VMWare and members of its senior management concealed that: (i) the Company’s reporting with respect to its backlog of unfilled orders was not in compliance with all relevant accounting and disclosure requirements; (ii) the foregoing subjected the Company to a foreseeable risk of heightened regulatory scrutiny and\/or investigation; and (iii) as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.<\/p>\n

Investors learned the truth on February 27, 2020<\/span>, when, in announcing disappointing results for Q4 2019, VMWare disclosed that in December 2019<\/span>, the SEC requested documents and information relating to VMware’s backlog and associated accounting and disclosures. Indeed, on the Q4 2019 earnings call, VMware disclosed that its total backlog was only $18 million<\/span>, down enormously from $449 million<\/span> in the prior year quarter. This information was material to investors because the backlog constitutes orders and agreements that the Company expects to record as revenue in the following quarter.<\/p>\n

On this news, shares lost 11% of their value, dropping $15.11<\/span> per share, from a close of $135.63<\/span> per share on February 27, 2020<\/span>, to a close of $120.52<\/span> per share on February 28, 2020<\/span>.<\/p>\n

If you purchased VMWare common stock during the Class Period, you may seek Court appointment as lead plaintiff to represent other injured investors in a class action.  The lead plaintiff appointment deadline is June 1, 2020<\/span>.<\/strong>  You do not need to be a lead plaintiff to share in any potential Class recovery.<\/p>\n

Whistleblowers: <\/strong>Persons with non-public information regarding VMWare, Inc. should consider their options to help Berger Montague’s<\/span> investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under this program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to thirty percent (30%) of successful recoveries obtained by the SEC. For more information, contact us.<\/p>\n
