DEFENDANTS' ALLEGED MISCONDUCT:
The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the material weaknesses in SoundHound's internal controls over financial reporting impaired SoundHound's ability to effectively account for corporate acquisitions; (2) in addition, SoundHound overstated the extent to which it had remediated, and/or its ability to remediate, the material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting; (3) as a result of the foregoing material weaknesses, SoundHound's reported goodwill following an acquisition of Amelia Holdings, Inc. in August 2024, was inflated and would need to be corrected; (4) further, SoundHound would likely require extra time and expense to effectively account for the acquisitions of Amelia Holdings, Inc. and SYNQ3 (which was acquired in January 2024, before the beginning of the Class Period); (5) the foregoing increased the risk that SoundHound would be unable to timely file certain financial reports with the SEC; and (6) as a result, SoundHound's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS:
SoundHound investors may, no later than May 27, 2025, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation.

Leading Independent Proxy Advisory Firms Glass Lewis and ISS Recommend that Shareholders Vote 'FOR' the Proposed Merger Between PTMN and LRFC
NEW YORK, June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Portman Ridge Finance Corporation (NASDAQ: PTMN) ('Portman Ridge' or 'PTMN') and Logan Ridge Finance Corporation (NASDAQ: LRFC) ('Logan Ridge' or 'LRFC') (together, the 'Companies') announced today that leading independent proxy advisory firms, Institutional Shareholder Services ('ISS') and Glass, Lewis & Co. ('Glass Lewis'), have both recommended that LRFC stockholders vote 'FOR' the proposed merger of LRFC with and into PTMN at the upcoming LRFC special meeting scheduled for June 6, 2025. In addition, ISS and Glass Lewis have both recommended that PTMN stockholders vote 'FOR' the proposals related to the proposed merger at the upcoming PTMN special meeting scheduled for June 6, 2025. In its May 30, 2025 report, Glass Lewis noted, 'We recognize the transaction would consolidate two entities that are managed by affiliated investment advisers, have overlapping portfolios of investments, and similar strategies and risks. The transaction aims at creating an entity with greater scale, a more diversified portfolio and anticipated greater market liquidity, among other benefits. Overall, we believe the entities have presented a reasonable strategic rationale for the proposed merger.' Similarly, in its report dated May 23, 2025, ISS commented, 'The strategic rationale appears sound, as the combined company will have increased scale, structural simplification, and more diversification. On balance, in light of the compelling strategic rationale, support for the proposed share issuance is warranted.' Ted Goldthorpe, President and Chief Executive Officer of PTMN and LRFC and Head of the BC Partners Credit Platform, stated, 'We're encouraged by the support from both ISS and Glass Lewis, which reflects their alignment with the LRFC and PTMN Boards' unanimous recommendations to their shareholders to vote in favor of the proposed merger. With PTMN standing as the surviving entity, we believe the combination will enhance PTMN's scale, increase trading liquidity, further increase portfolio diversification, and will generate meaningful earnings accretion for shareholders, all which pave the way for our future growth initiatives and strengthen our position as a leader in executing strategic growth transactions amongst publicly traded business development companies.' With special meetings scheduled for June 6, 2025, both PTMN and LRFC urge their stockholders to attend the meeting and cast their votes by following the instructions outlined in the joint proxy statement.
