Event Summary

EKA Mobility Corporation is facing a securities class action lawsuit filed by Hagens Berman. The lawsuit alleges that EKA Mobility made false and misleading statements to investors regarding its relationship with Avis Budget Group, one of its largest customers. On May 26, 2026, EKA Mobility disclosed that Avis Budget Group terminated its contract renewal negotiations, effective September 2026. This news caused EKA Mobility's shares to plummet by 70% on May 27, 2026, wiping out $1.4 billion in market capitalization. Following these revelations, CEO Roberts departed from his position and the board of directors on May 31, 2026. The company is also reviewing the negotiations and handling of confidential information. Reed Kathrein, a partner at Hagens Berman, is leading the investigation, focusing on when EKA Mobility and its executives became aware of the unconstructive renegotiations with Avis Budget Group.
