Class Period: March 10, 2021 – March 16, 2023
Lead Plaintiff Deadline: May 19, 2023
Investors suffering losses on their Tupperware investments are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 888-638-4847 or by email to [email protected].
On March 1, 2023, Tupperware issued a press release disclosing that it "identified misstatements which originated in prior annual and unaudited interim periods" and that "there is the possibility that additional current and prior period misstatements could be identified." The Company further disclosed that it "did not design and maintain effective internal controls related to the accounting for the completeness, occurrence, accuracy, and presentation of the income tax provision and related income tax assets and liabilities."
On this news, Tupperware's stock price fell $0.61, or nearly 15%, to close at $3.49 per share on March 1, 2023, thereby injuring investors.
Then, on March 16, 2023, after the market closed, the Company disclosed that it would be unable to timely file its Annual Report, stating that previous financial statements dating back to 2020 would be restated and should no longer be relied upon. Additionally, the Company also revealed that it had determined that "material weaknesses exist in its internal control over financial reporting."
On this news, Tupperware's stock price fell $0.19, or 7.7%, to close at $2.27 per share on March 17, 2023, thereby injuring investors further.
The complaint filed alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Tupperware did not disclose its serious issues with internal controls; (2) Tupperware's financial statements, from its 2020 Annual Report to the present, included misstatements, particularly as it related to the Company's accounting for income taxes; (3) as a result, Tupperware would need to restate its previously filed financial statements for certain periods; and (4) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
