The complaint claims that Simply Good Foods concealed critical failures following the June 2024 acquisition of OWYN. According to the litigation, the company lost essential managerial personnel and saw a decline in product quality after switching to a new pea protein supplier. These internal issues allegedly led to bloated administrative costs and poor sales performance, despite public assurances from leadership that the integration was progressing successfully.
The situation reached a breaking point on April 9, 2026, when the company reported a 17% contraction in OWYN sales and announced a $187 million impairment charge. Following this disclosure, the stock price fell from $14.41 to $10.44 over two trading days—a decline of over 27%. By the end of the class period, shares had dropped more than 70% from their highs. By July 2026, cumulative impairments on the OWYN brand reached $200 million, representing 70% of the original purchase price.
