On December 20, 2018, the Company disclosed disappointing financial
results for 2Q 2019, including net sales for its recently-acquired
Pinnacle Foods, Inc. (“Pinnacle”) that were “below expectations due to
weak performance across a range of significant brands,” which resulted
in negative scrutiny by analysts, questioning whether Conagra had
performed proper due diligence in the transaction.
On this news, shares of Conagra fell $2.13 or nearly 9%, to close at
$22.15 on December 21, 2018, thereby injuring investors.
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the
Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements
regarding the Company’s business, operational and compliance policies.
Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or
failed to disclose that: (1) Conagra inadequately performed proper due
diligence in connection with the acquisition of Pinnacle; (2) the
performance of Pinnacle’s three leading brands was not deteriorating due
to intensified competition, but to self-inflicted subpar innovation and
executional missteps; (3) Pinnacle’s business was performing so poorly
that it had resorted to pushing promotional deals to retailers in an
effort to boost sales; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, Defendant’s
public statements were materially false and/or misleading and/or lacked
a reasonable basis when made.
