According to the lawsuit, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the cost of quartz increased significantly by approximately 20% in 2014 while CaesarStone claimed in SEC filings the impact of the price rising was just 4%; (2) independent lab tests revealed that CaesarStone’s samples contained less quartz than advertised; (3) CaesarStone’s reported consolidated margins, gross margins, and EBITDA were overstated; (4) the extent of and risk posed by a rising number of lawsuits for approximately 60 silicosis-related injuries or deaths suffered by workers and fabricators of its product in Israel was understated; (5) the impact recent OSHA warnings concerning silicosis would have on the opening of a new U.S. facility and associated costs; and (6) recent inspection reports revealed audit deficiencies related to revenue and inventory controls.

On August 19, 2015, analyst firm Spruce Point Capital Management published a report on CaesarStone describing the aforementioned false and misleading statements and failures of disclosure. On this adverse news, CaesarStone ADRs fell $3.68, or 7.6%, to close at $44.61 on August 19, 2015.
