Event Summary

Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP LLP has announced a class action lawsuit against Open Lending Corporation and its current and former top executives, including Charles D. Jehl. The lawsuit alleges that Open Lending made false and misleading statements regarding its risk-based pricing model, profit share revenue, and the performance of its 2021-2024 vintage loans. These allegations stem from Open Lending's disclosure on March 17, 2025, that it could not timely file its 2024 Annual Report due to accounting issues, which caused a 9% stock drop. Further, on March 31, 2025, Open Lending reported negative quarterly revenue of $56.9 million and a net loss of $144 million, primarily due to an $81.3 million reduction in estimated profit share revenues from historic vintages and increased loan delinquencies. This news led to a nearly 58% fall in Open Lending's stock price. The company also announced new CEO and COO appointments, replacing Charles D. Jehl, who had held multiple executive roles simultaneously.
