According to the lawsuit, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose material information concerning ConAgra’s acquisition of Pinnacle Foods, Inc. (“Pinnacle”), including that: (1) Conagra inadequately performed proper due diligence in connection with the Pinnacle acquisition; (2) the performance of Pinnacle’s three leading brands was not deteriorating due to intensified competition, but due 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, defendant’s public statements were materially false and/or misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis when made. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
