SQ LAWSUIT ALERT: Levi & Korsinsky Notifies Block, Inc. Investors of a Class Action Lawsuit and Upcoming Deadline

NEW YORK, March 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Levi & Korsinsky, LLP notifies investors in Block, Inc. (“Block” or the “Company”) (NYSE: SQ) of a class action securities lawsuit.

CLASS DEFINITION: The lawsuit seeks to recover losses on behalf of Block investors who were adversely affected by alleged securities fraud. This lawsuit is on behalf of persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Block securities during the period November 4, 2021 and April 4, 2022, including all former shareholders of Afterpay securities who acquired unregistered Block, Inc. Class A common stock (and/or corresponding SQ CHESS Depository Interests) in direct exchange for Afterpay shares pursuant to Block’s January 31, 2022 acquisition and stock-for-stock merger with Afterpay.

SQ investors may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. via email at jlevi@levikorsinsky.com or by telephone at (212) 363-7500.

CASE DETAILS: The filed complaint alleges that defendants made false statements and/or concealed that: (1) defendants did not satisfy the mandatory conditions necessary to exempt them from registration under §3(a)(10) and permit the issuance and sale of unregistered Block Shares; (2) in violation of §§5(a) and (c) of the Securities Act, no registration statement has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or been in effect with respect to these Block Shares issued, solicited, and sold by means of Block’s January 31, 2022 acquisition and stock-for-stock merger with Afterpay (the “Merger” or “Acquisition”); (3) in order to push the Acquisition through, defendants failed to comply with §3(a)(10)’s mandatory preconditions in several respects; and (4) defendants’ grossly negligent failures deprived the Supreme Court of New South Wales (“NSW Court”) of critical information necessary for any genuine appraisal of the Merger’s supposed “fairness,” and furthermore deprived plaintiff and other Afterpay shareholders of their statutory right to appear and present to the NSW Court the host of serious concerns and material (yet undisclosed) information ahead of the Merger.

WHAT’S NEXT? If you suffered a loss in Block during the relevant time frame, you have until April 3, 2023 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn’t require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.

NO COST TO YOU: If you are a class member, you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out-of-pocket costs or fees. There is no cost or obligation to participate.
