Background on Tupperware
Founded in 1946, Tupperware is a global consumer products company that markets, manufactures, and sells design-centric preparation, storage and serving solutions for kitchen and home. Their signature container created the modern food storage category that revolutionized the way we store, serve, and prepare food.
The Securities Fraud Claims
The Complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations, and prospects, which were known to the Defendants or recklessly disregarded by them. Specifically: (i) Tupperware did not disclose its serious issues with internal controls over financial reporting; (ii) 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; and (iii) as a result, the Company would need to restate its previously filed financial statements for certain periods.
On March 1, 2023, before the market opened, Tupperware announced that it had identified misstatements in prior annual and unaudited interim periods. These misstatements specifically related to the Company’s accounting for income taxes. On this news, Tupperware’s stock fell 14.88% to close at $3.49 per share on March 1, 2023, on unusually heavy trading volume.
Then, on March 16, 2023, after the market closed, the Company filed a notice with the SEC reporting that it was unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. On this news, the price of Tupperware’s stock declined by $0.19 a share, or 7.7%, on March 17, 2023.
