Event Summary

Rosen Law Firm has filed a class action lawsuit against Cepton, alleging that the company's Board of Directors made materially false and misleading statements to investors. The lawsuit claims that Cepton failed to disclose a credible third-party bid, which valued the company at more than double the Koito Acquisition, before recommending the merger with Murata Manufacturing to its shareholders. This alleged failure deprived Cepton's shareholders of the opportunity to meaningfully consider whether to accept or reject the Koito Acquisition. Investors who purchased or sold Cepton common stock between July 29, 2024, and January 6, 2025, are encouraged to join the class action by the December 8, 2025, lead plaintiff deadline.
