(NYSE: LDI) pursuant to the Registration Statement issued in connection with the Companys February 16, 2021 initial public offering (IPO). The lawsuitpending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California seeks to recover damages under the federal securities laws for those who purchased LOAN DEPOT stock.

If you purchased shares of LOAN DEPOT Holdings, Inc. and would like to assist with the case as a lead plaintiff, you must, no later than November 6, 2021, request that the Court appoint you a lead plaintiff of the proposed class.

The lawsuit charges that Loan Depot violated the Securities Act of 1933 because the Registration Statement failed to disclose that: (1) the Companys loan originations had already declined substantially at the time of the IPO due to industry over-capacity and increased competition; (2) that the Companys gain-on-sale margins had already declined substantially at the time of the IPO; (3) that, as a result, the Companys revenue and growth would be negatively impacted; (4) that the Company had already been forced to embark on a significant expense reduction plan due to the significantly lower growth and refinance originations that the Company was experiencing; and (5) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants positive statements about the Companys business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

Subsequent to the IPO, Loan Depots stock declined immediately, declining below $8 per share less than six months after the IPO -- a decline of over 42% from the IPO price.
