Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces an investigation into MediaAlpha, Inc.’s (NYSE: MAX) board of directors and senior management for potential breaches of their fiduciary duties to shareholders in connection with alleged misleading claims and deceptive advertising that resulted in a $45 million settlement with the FTC.

Why is MediaAlpha being Investigated?
On October 30, 2024, the FTC informed MediaAlpha the FTC was preparing to file a complaint against MediaAlpha “for violations of Section 5(a) of the FTC Act,” the “Telemarketing Sales Rule” and the “Government and Business Impersonation Rule.”
Underlying those claims, the FTC was preparing to allege that MediaAlpha “has represented itself as affiliated with government entities, made misleading claims (in particular regarding health insurance products and the Company’s use of consumers’ personal information) and utilized deceptive advertising” as part of its lead generation and telemarketing business. In November, 2024, MediaAlpha disclosed these (and other) high-level details of the lawsuit to its stockholders, and stated that it “believes that a loss in connection with the FTC matter is probable.”
In July of 2025, MediaAlpha settled the claims with the FTC. Under the terms of the settlement, MediaAlpha agreed to pay $45 million in cash and agreed to make various governance reforms restricting its future advertising and marketing practices. In August of 2025, the FTC issued its final approval of the settlement, and publicly posted its complaint against MediaAlpha (the “Complaint”).
During the pendency of the FTC’s Complaint, MediaAlpha’s insiders sold large amounts of their shares in MediaAlpha, which raises questions about whether certain members of MediaAlpha’s management were taking advantage of their knowledge about the details of the Complaint before the full Complaint was disclosed to the rest of MediaAlpha’s stockholders.
BFA is investigating whether MediaAlpha’s board of directors, together with members of the company’s senior management, have breached their fiduciary duties to MediaAlpha stockholders in connection with the FTC’s investigation and certain MediaAlpha insiders’ sales of their stock.
