Zeta Global Corrects False and Misleading Claims About Its Business
November 20 2024 - 3:03PM
Business Wire
Zeta Global (NYSE: ZETA), the AI-Powered Marketing Cloud, today
released a detailed rebuttal on its Investor Relations website that
debunks the assertions made in a self-serving short seller report
published on November 13, 2024. That “report” was riddled with
misrepresentations, speculative conjecture, and categorically false
statements about Zeta.
The detailed rebuttal posted today builds on Zeta’s initial
response, also published on November 13, 2024.
David A. Steinberg, Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Zeta, said,
“The self-serving ‘report’ was filled with highly misleading and
objectively false claims about Zeta and was written with a clear
agenda: to drive down the value of our stock for the benefit of the
author and the people betting against us.”
“We, along with our external legal counsel, thoroughly reviewed
its spurious allegations, and as we detail extensively in our
rebuttal, the facts could not be clearer: our data gathering and
management, privacy policies and practices, and financial reporting
comply with relevant law and advance our mission of delivering
value for our clients and generating shareholder value."
Steinberg continued: “As demonstrated by the Board’s recent
authorization of a $100 million stock repurchase program, and the
purchases of Zeta stock by myself, and members of management and
our board of directors, we have the utmost confidence in our
business and Zeta’s future. We’ve been able to use this dislocation
in our stock price to buy back stock at an accelerated pace under
our repurchase program, and we expect to continue to do so to
further our value creation strategy. We will continue to
communicate transparently with our stakeholders.”
