United States SEC Fines Ride-Hailing Lyft $10 Million for Failure to Disclose Director Related Interest in Selling $424 Million of Shares for Single Shareholder Before IPO in 2019 to Investment Advisor, Director Received Millions in Compensation from Sale of Shares 21st September 2023 | Hong Kong
The United States Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) has fined ride-hailing Lyft $10 million for failing to disclose director related interest in selling $424 million of shares for single shareholder before IPO (Initial Public Offering, 2019) to an investment advisor, with the Director receiving millions in compensation from the sale of the shares of Lyft before IPO. United States SEC: “The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged Lyft Inc. for failing to disclose a company board director’s role in a shareholder’s sale of approximately $424 million worth of private shares of Lyft’s stock prior to the company’s initial public offering (IPO). According to the SEC’s order, prior to Lyft’s IPO in March 2019, a Lyft board director arranged for a shareholder to sell its shares to a special purpose vehicle (“SPV”) set up by an investment adviser affiliated with the same director. The director then contacted an investor interested in purchasing the shares through the SPV. According to the SEC’s order, Lyft, which approved the sale and secured a number of terms in the contract, was a participant in the transaction, and the director was a related person by virtue of his position and because he received millions of dollars in compensation from the investment adviser for his role in structuring and negotiating the deal. Lyft failed to disclose this information regarding the sale in its Form 10-K for 2019. The SEC’s order finds that the director left the Board at the time of the transaction.” Sheldon L. Pollock, Associate Regional Director of the SEC’s New York Regional Office: “The federal securities laws required Lyft to disclose that a director profited from a transaction in which Lyft itself was a participant. We remain vigilant in ensuring investors are not deprived of critical information about transactions occurring close to a company’s initial public offering.” More info below:

United States SEC Fines Ride-Hailing Lyft $10 Million for Failure to Disclose Director Related Interest in Selling $424 Million of Shares for Single Shareholder Before IPO in 2019 to Investment Advisor
New York City, United States 18th September 2023 – The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged Lyft Inc. for failing to disclose a company board director’s role in a shareholder’s sale of approximately $424 million worth of private shares of Lyft’s stock prior to the company’s initial public offering (IPO).
According to the SEC’s order, prior to Lyft’s IPO in March 2019, a Lyft board director arranged for a shareholder to sell its shares to a special purpose vehicle (“SPV”) set up by an investment adviser affiliated with the same director. The director then contacted an investor interested in purchasing the shares through the SPV. According to the SEC’s order, Lyft, which approved the sale and secured a number of terms in the contract, was a participant in the transaction, and the director was a related person by virtue of his position and because he received millions of dollars in compensation from the investment adviser for his role in structuring and negotiating the deal. Lyft failed to disclose this information regarding the sale in its Form 10-K for 2019. The SEC’s order finds that the director left the Board at the time of the transaction.
The SEC’s order finds that Lyft violated Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13a-1 thereunder. Without admitting or denying the SEC’s findings, Lyft agreed to a cease-and-desist order and to pay a $10 million civil penalty.
The SEC’s investigation was conducted by Theresa Gue and Adam Grace of the New York Regional Office, Andrew Dean of the Asset Management Unit, and Joshua Brodsky of the Complex Financial Instruments Unit, and was supervised by Mr. Pollock.
