<p>在公司与小糸制造株式会社（&#34;小糸&#34;）（&#34;小糸收购&#34;或&#34;合并&#34;）（如下所述）合并之前，Cepton 是一家专注于高性能、大众市场光学探测与测距（&#34;激光雷达&#34;）技术部署的电子公司，旨在为汽车和智能基础设施市场提供安全性和自主性。该公司提供近程激光雷达、远程激光雷达和超远程激光雷达、汽车软件以及包括其感知软件在内的智能激光雷达系统。</p>
<p>截至 2023 年 7 月，小糸是一家日本汽车照明设备制造商，已向 Cepton 投资 2 亿美元，以换取相当于 Cepton 投票权 30.1% 的普通股和优先股，并在公司的董事会（&#34;董事会&#34;）中占有七个席位中的两个。2023 年 10 月，小糸要求董事会成立特别委员会，与小糸谈判潜在交易。2023 年 12 月，小糸宣布以每股 3.17 美元的现金出价收购 Cepton，进行私有化交易。</p>
<p>2024 年 7 月，Cepton 宣布已接受小糸的出价，以每股 3.17 美元的现金收购公司所有未被小糸拥有的流通股。根据 Cepton 的说法，小糸收购将&#34;补充小糸现有的传感器技术路线图，同时为 Cepton 提供商业化其激光雷达技术所需的财务稳定性和可扩展性。&#34;</p>
<p>小糸收购于 2025 年 1 月 7 日完成，此时所有未偿还的 Cepton 股东均以现金形式获得每股 3.17 美元的 Cepton 普通股。在同一天发布的新闻稿中，Cepton 表示，合并&#34;标志着 Cepton 前沿激光雷达技术工业化的战略里程碑，结合了两家公司的优势，以重塑未来的出行方式&#34;，并且&#34;在小糸享誉全球的汽车专业知识的支持下，Cepton 将继续以质量、可靠性和可持续性为重点，商业化其激光雷达解决方案。&#34;</p>
<p>投诉称，在集体诉讼期间，被告对公司的业务、运营和合规政策做出了实质性虚假和误导性陈述。具体而言，被告做出了虚假和/或误导性陈述，和/或未能披露以下内容：（i）Cepton 收到了一个可信的第三方出价，估值超过小糸收购的两倍；（ii）Cepton 的董事会未能有意义地探讨上述出价，并在建议 Cepton 股东批准小糸收购时未能披露其条款；（iii）因此，Cepton 的股东被剥夺了有意义地考虑接受或拒绝小糸收购的机会；（iv）因此，被告的公开声明在所有相关时间都是实质性虚假和误导的。</p>
<p>投资者在合并完成四个月后开始了解到真相，当时在 2025 年 5 月，前 Cepton 股东在特拉华州衡平法院对 Cepton 和某些公司高管提起了两起经过验证的集体诉讼，涉及小糸收购。2025 年 7 月，前述诉讼被合并并重新命名为 In re Cepton, Inc. Stockholder Litigation，案号为 2025-0519-LWW（&#34;特拉华诉讼&#34;）。然后，在 2025 年 9 月，特拉华诉讼中提交的修订版合并集体诉讼投诉（&#34;修订投诉&#34;）的删节版公开可用。修订投诉是在 Cepton 根据原告根据 8 Del. C. § 220 提出的要求提供的书籍和记录审查后提出的。修订投诉称，Cepton 的董事会同意以&#34;令人震惊的不合理价格&#34;进行小糸收购，并向股东推销这一极不公平的交易，使用的代理文件隐瞒了关键事实。此外，修订投诉称，&#34;代理文件未能披露 Cepton 收到的——以及董事会完全未能探讨的——一个可信的第三方出价，估值超过小糸收购的两倍。&#34;修订投诉进一步称，Cepton 的首席执行官被告 Jun Pei 在与小糸的谈判中存在利益冲突，并鼓励董事会推荐接受小糸收购，以保护他个人的经济利益，而以 Cepton 股东的利益为代价。</p>

</div><p>Prior to the Company's merger with Koito Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (&#34;Koito&#34;) (the &#34;Koito Acquisition&#34; or the &#34;Merger&#34;) (as described below), Cepton was an electronics company focused on the deployment of high performance, mass-market light detection and ranging (&#34;lidar&#34;) technologies to deliver safety and autonomy across the Automotive and Smart Infrastructure markets. The Company offered near-range lidars, long-range lidars and ultra-long-range lidars, automotive software and smart lidar systems that include its perception software.</p>

</div><p>As of July 2023, Koito, a Japanese manufacturer of automotive lighting equipment, had invested $200 million in Cepton in exchange for common and preferred stock amounting to 30.1% of Cepton's voting power on an as-converted basis and held two out of seven seats on the Company's Board of Directors (the &#34;Board&#34;). In October 2023, Koito requested that the Board form a special committee to negotiate a potential transaction with Koito. In December 2023, Koito announced a bid to acquire Cepton for $3.17 per share in cash in a going private transaction.</p>

</div><p>In July 2024, Cepton announced that it had accepted Koito's bid to acquire all of the Company's outstanding capital stock not owned by Koito for $3.17 per share in an all-cash transaction. According to Cepton, the Koito Acquisition would purportedly &#34;complement Koito's existing sensor technology roadmap, while providing Cepton with the financial stability and scalability that are crucial to the commercialization of its lidar technology.&#34;</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>2024 年 7 月，Cepton 宣布已接受小糸的出价，以每股 3.17 美元的现金收购公司所有未被小糸拥有的流通股。根据 Cepton 的说法，小糸收购将&#34;补充小糸现有的传感器技术路线图，同时为 Cepton 提供商业化其激光雷达技术所需的财务稳定性和可扩展性。&#34;</p>
</div><p>The Koito Acquisition closed on January 7, 2025, at which point all outstanding Cepton shareholders received $3.17 per share of Cepton common stock in cash. In a press release issued that same day, Cepton stated that the Merger &#34;marks a strategic milestone in the industrialization of Cepton's cutting-edge lidar technology, combining the strengths of both companies to reshape future mobility&#34; and &#34;[s] upported by Koito's world-renowned automotive expertise, Cepton will continue to commercialize its lidar solutions with a strong focus on quality, reliability and sustainability.&#34;</p>

</div><p>The Complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations, and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Cepton had received a credible third-party bid valuing Cepton at more than double the Koito Acquisition; (ii) Cepton's Board of Directors failed to meaningfully explore the foregoing offer and failed to disclose its terms when recommending that Cepton's shareholders approve the Koito Acquisition; (iii) consequently, Cepton's shareholders were deprived of the opportunity to meaningfully consider whether to accept or reject the Koito Acquisition; and (iv) as a result, Defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>投诉称，在集体诉讼期间，被告对公司的业务、运营和合规政策做出了实质性虚假和误导性陈述。具体而言，被告做出了虚假和/或误导性陈述，和/或未能披露以下内容：（i）Cepton 收到了一个可信的第三方出价，估值超过小糸收购的两倍；（ii）Cepton 的董事会未能有意义地探讨上述出价，并在建议 Cepton 股东批准小糸收购时未能披露其条款；（iii）因此，Cepton 的股东被剥夺了有意义地考虑接受或拒绝小糸收购的机会；（iv）因此，被告的公开声明在所有相关时间都是实质性虚假和误导的。</p>
</div><p>Investors began to learn the truth four months after the Merger closed when, in May 2025, former Cepton shareholders filed two verified class action complaints in the Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware against, among others, Cepton and certain of the Company's executive officers, in connection with the Koito Acquisition. In July 2025, the foregoing actions were consolidated and restyled as In re Cepton, Inc. Stockholder Litigation, Case No. 2025-0519-LWW (the &#34;Delaware Action&#34;). Then, in September 2025, a redacted version of an amended consolidated class action complaint (the &#34;Amended Complaint&#34;) filed in the Delaware Action became publicly available. The Amended Complaint followed a review of books and records produced by Cepton in response to plaintiffs' demands made under 8 Del. C. § 220. The Amended Complaint alleges that Cepton's Board agreed to the Koito Acquisition &#34;at a price that was so unreasonable as to shock the conscience, and then pitched the grossly unfair deal to stockholders with a Proxy that concealed critical facts.&#34; Moreover, the Amended Complaint alleges that &#34;the Proxy failed to disclose Cepton's receipt of-and the Board's utter failure to explore-a credible third-party bid valuing Cepton at more than double&#34; the Koito Acquisition. The Amended Complaint further alleges that Cepton's Chief Executive Officer Defendant Jun Pei was subject to conflicts in his negotiations with Koito and encouraged the Board to recommend accepting the Koito Acquisition so as to protect his own personal economic interests at the expense of Cepton's stockholders.</p>
