Shamis & Gentile, P.A. is investigating potential derivative action claims on behalf of shareholders of iRobot Corporation (“iRobot” or the “Company”) (IRBT) against certain of its directors and officers for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties and other violations of law. Concerned shareholders are advised to contact the firm now.
The investigation concerns whether iRobot’s board of directors and executive officers allegedly breached their fiduciary duties to the Company and its shareholders by failing to maintain adequate internal controls and oversight systems.
iRobot designs, builds, and sells consumer robots and home innovation products worldwide. In August 2022, iRobot entered into a merger agreement with Amazon.com Inc. under which Amazon would acquire iRobot for $61 per share in an all-cash transaction. The merger was ultimately terminated in January 2024 due to regulatory concerns. Following the termination, iRobot announced an operational restructuring plan aimed at enabling the Company to pursue a new strategic path for sustainable value creation.
Shamis & Gentile, P.A. is investigating whether iRobot’s board failed to implement and monitor effective systems for oversight of liquidity, debt covenant compliance, and risk management, particularly in the wake of the terminated merger. The investigation will focus on whether the board, including its Audit Committee, and key officers ignored red flags or failed to act in good faith regarding the Company’s financial condition, restructuring forecasts, and communications with auditors and lenders. Additionally, the firm is reviewing whether proxy statements issued in 2024 and 2025 omitted material facts about the sufficiency of the restructuring plan and the Company’s financial viability, potentially impacting shareholder voting and governance.
Long term shareholders iRobot may be able to pursue claims on behalf of the Company against responsible directors and officers. If merited, a shareholder derivative action could recover damages on behalf of the Company and may result in corporate governance reforms to prevent future misconduct and enhance long term value.
