Important Information Regarding Section 20(a) Individual Liability Claims Against ZoomInfo’s CEO and CFO for Alleged $1.98 Per-Share Shareholder Losses
NEW YORK, July 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Levi & Korsinsky, LLP alerts investors in ZoomInfo Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: GTM) that two senior executives are named as individual defendants in a securities class action covering purchases between November 3, 2025 and May 11, 2026. Find out if you qualify to recover losses or contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at jlevi@levikorsinsky.com or (212) 363-7500.
Shares fell $1.98 per share, a 33% decline, after ZoomInfo disclosed a sharp deterioration in its 2026 growth outlook on May 11, 2026. The Court has set August 24, 2026 as the deadline to apply for lead plaintiff appointment.
The Named Individual Defendants
The complaint names Henry Schuck, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, and M. Graham O’Brien, Chief Financial Officer, as controlling persons of ZoomInfo during the entire Class Period. As CEO and Chairman, Schuck held dual authority over both corporate strategy and board governance. O’Brien, as CFO, directed financial reporting, revenue guidance, and investor communications. Both executives signed SEC filings, participated in earnings calls, and presented at investor conferences where the alleged misrepresentations were made.
Sarbanes-Oxley Certification Obligations
Under Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Schuck and O’Brien personally certified the accuracy and completeness of ZoomInfo’s quarterly and annual reports filed with the SEC. These certifications attested that:
- Financial statements fairly presented the Company’s financial condition in all material respects
- Reports did not contain untrue statements of material fact or omit material facts necessary to avoid misleading investors
- Internal controls were designed to ensure material information was made known to the certifying officers
- Any significant deficiencies or fraud involving management were disclosed to auditors and the audit committee
The lawsuit contends these certifications were made while Schuck and O’Brien knew or should have known that ZoomInfo’s legacy seat-based subscription business was deteriorating and that customers were migrating toward consumption-based models faster than publicly acknowledged.
Section 20(a) Control Person Framework
Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 imposes liability on individuals who control entities that violate Section 10(b). The complaint asserts that Schuck and O’Brien possessed the power and authority to control the contents of ZoomInfo’s SEC filings, press releases, earnings call statements, and investor conference presentations. The pleading further alleges both executives were provided with copies of the Company’s public statements prior to issuance and had the ability to prevent their release or cause corrections.
Scienter Allegations
The action charges that Schuck and O’Brien knew adverse facts had not been disclosed to investors and that positive representations being made were materially false or misleading at the time they were issued. Both executives repeatedly touted improving net revenue retention, 20%-plus operations growth, and AI product momentum across multiple public forums from November 2025 through February 2026, while allegedly concealing weakening downmarket retention and the growing adoption of internally developed AI-driven go-to-market solutions that reduced demand for the Company’s products.
