A securities class action lawsuit has been filed against SoundHound AI, Inc. in the United States — United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The lawsuit, brought on behalf of investors who purchased SoundHound AI securities between May 10, 2024, and March 3, 2025, alleges that SoundHound AI made false and misleading statements. Specifically, the complaint claims that SoundHound AI had material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting, impairing its ability to account for corporate acquisitions like Amelia Holdings, Inc. (acquired in August 2024) and SYNQ3 Restaurant Solutions (acquired in January 2024). It is further alleged that SoundHound AI overstated its remediation efforts for these weaknesses, leading to inflated goodwill and an increased risk of failing to timely file financial reports with the United States — United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check is informing investors about the lawsuit and the lead plaintiff deadline of May 27, 2025.
