A securities class action lawsuit was filed against Smartsheet Inc. alleging the company repurchased over 1.1 million shares from investors between June and August 2024 without disclosing ongoing acquisition talks with Blackstone and Vista Equity Partners. The lawsuit claims Smartsheet's board knew about a premium buyout offer but failed to inform shareholders while promoting share buybacks, misleading investors and violating federal securities laws. When the acquisition was announced at $56.50 per share, Smartsheet's stock price rose sharply, revealing the previously undisclosed premium offer. Investors who sold shares during this period and suffered losses may have legal rights, with a deadline to seek lead plaintiff status by October 5, 2026.
