The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Wisconsin on behalf of all those who purchased Spectrum securities between June 14, 2016 and April 25, 2018 (the “Class Period”). The case, Wagner, Earl v. Spectrum Brands Legacy, Inc. et al, No. 19-cv-00178 was filed on March 7, 2019, and has been assigned to Judge James D. Peterson.
The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) Spectrum was facing operational issues with the development of its Ohio and Kansas facilities; (2) these issues were negatively impacting production, shipping levels and sales; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, the Company’s financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
Specifically, on July 27, 2017, Spectrum issued a press release, also attached as exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) announcing the Company’s financial and operating results for the third fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2017. For the quarter, the Company reported net income of $76.9 million, or $1.31 per diluted share, compared to net income of $101.9 million, or $1.71 per diluted share in the previous year’s comparable quarter.
On this news, the Company’s stock price fell from $122.97 per share on July 26, 2017 to $117.95 per share on July 27, 2017—a $5.02 or 4.08% drop.
Then, On April 26, 2018, Spectrum issued a press release, also attached as exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K filed with the SEC announcing the Company’s financial and operating results for the second fiscal quarter ended April 1, 2018. For the quarter, the Company reported net income of $0.8 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to net income of $39.9 million, or $0.68 per diluted share in the previous year’s comparable quarter. The same day, Spectrum also announced that Defendant Rouvé stepped down as Spectrum’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Director and that David M. Maura had been named CEO, effectively immediately.
On this news, the Company’s stock price fell from $94.23 per share on April 25, 2018 to $75.01 per share on April 26, 2018—a $19.22 or 20.4% drop.
