Securities Fraud Lawsuit\nPR Newswire\n\nNEW YORK, Sept. 21, 2026\n\nNEW YORK, Sept. 21, 2026/PRNewswire/ -- Rosen Law Firm, a global investor\nrights law firm, reminds sellers of common stock of Smartsheet Inc. (NYSE:\nSMAR) between June 1, 2024 and September 23, 2024, both dates inclusive (the\n\"Class Period\"), of the important October 5, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.\n\nSo what: If you purchased Smartsheet common stock during the Class Period you\nmay be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or\ncosts through a contingency fee arrangement.\n\nWhat to do next: To join the Smartsheet class action, go to\nhttps://rosenlegal.com/cases/smartsheet-inc-2026/join\n(https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4778459-1&h=3951273559&u=https%3A%2F%2Frosenlegal.com%2Fcases%2Fsmartsheet-inc-2026%2Fjoin&a=https%3A%2F%2Frosenlegal.com%2Fcases%2Fsmartsheet-inc-2026%2Fjoin)\n or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email\ncase@rosenlegal.com (mailto:case@rosenlegal.com)  for information on the\nclass action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to\nserve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than October 5,\n2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other\nclass members in directing the litigation.\n\nWhy Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track\nrecord of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not\nhave comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer\nrecognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class\nactions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms\nthat actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law\nFirm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in\nsecurities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm\nhas achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a\nChinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class\nAction Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The\nfirm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered\nbillions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438\nmillion for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by\nlaw360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been\nrecognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.\n\nDetails of the case: According to the lawsuit, on January 24, 2024, Smartsheet\nreceived an unsolicited non-public offer from a consortium of investors (the\n\"Consortium\") to purchase its outstanding shares for $56.25 per share. In\nApril 2024, Smartsheet's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase\nprogram under which Smartsheet could repurchase up to $150 million of its\noutstanding stock. On July 8, 2024, the Consortium raised its offer to $56.50\nper share, and reiterated that offer on August 21, 2024. According to the\nlawsuit, while these offers were on the table and unknown to the investing\npublic, Smartsheet was repurchasing its common stock at market prices\nsignificantly below the prices offered by the Consortium. Smartsheet had an\nobligation to disclose that it had received a formal acquisition offer from\nthe Consortium or abstain from purchasing Smartsheet stock from unsuspecting\ninvestors.\n\nDuring the Class Period, Smartsheet's average stock price was $46.45 per\nshare. On Tuesday, September 24, 2024, during pre-market hours, Smartsheet\ndisclosed the transaction with the Consortium. The merger eventually closed on\nJanuary 22, 2025, with the Consortium acquiring Smartsheet for $56.50 per\nshare.\n\nTo join the Smartsheet class action, go to\nhttps://rosenlegal.com/cases/smartsheet-inc-2026/join\n(https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4778459-1&h=3951273559&u=https%3A%2F%2Frosenlegal.com%2Fcases%2Fsmartsheet-inc-2026%2Fjoin&a=https%3A%2F%2Frosenlegal.com%2Fcases%2Fsmartsheet-inc-2026%2Fjoin)\n call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email\ncase@rosenlegal.com (mailto:case@rosenlegal.com)  for information on the\nclass action.\n\nNo Class Has Been Certified.
