NEW YORK, April 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Roadzen Inc. (Nasdaq: RDZN) (“Roadzen” or the “Company”), a global leader in AI-driven mobility and insurance technology, announced today that it has filed a lawsuit in Florida against Meteora Capital Partners, LP (“Meteora”) and affiliated entities, alleging willful breach of contract and conduct that has damaged Roadzen and its public market value. The lawsuit is pending in Palm Beach County, Florida, Case Number 50-2025-CA-003675-XXXA-MB.
The lawsuit stems from a Forward Purchase Agreement (FPA) signed in August 2023, under which, as stated in the complaint, Meteora acquired 5 million shares in Roadzen at effectively a zero-cost basis. In exchange, Meteora agreed to remit proceeds from the sale of those shares to Roadzen under specific, clearly defined contractual mechanisms.
Roadzen alleges that, despite negotiated safeguards, Meteora sold over 1.8 million shares without honoring its payment obligations or providing the required notices under the FPA. Roadzen is pursuing a contractual claim of approximately $19.5 million plus additional damages.
“Meteora’s actions, as alleged in our complaint, reflect a willful breach of contract and a serious violation of trust,” said Rohan Malhotra, CEO of Roadzen. “Meteora’s conduct is not just a contractual breach — it undermines the fundamental principles of transparency and trust in capital markets,” Mr. Malhotra added. “This agreement was designed to protect Roadzen and its shareholders from precisely this kind of behavior. This isn’t just about a contractual dispute — it’s about holding parties accountable for their actions.”
According to the complaint, Meteora continued to offload shares while making misleading statements about their ownership to avoid paying what was contractually owed to Roadzen. Roadzen further notes that Meteora’s position is that it owes $914,726.53 pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement — an amount the company rejected, citing breach of contract and evidence that the scope of Meteora’s sales and resulting damage was significantly higher.
The case has been filed in the Circuit Court of Palm Beach County, Florida. Roadzen is represented by Gunster, Yoakley & Stewart, P.A.
