A: The action contends that shares declined\nmore than 70% from Class Period highs of more than $40 per share.\nSpecifically, over a two-day period, shares declined approximately 27%, or\nnearly $4 per share, to close at $10.44 per share on April 10, 2026. Investors\nwho purchased shares during the Class Period at artificially inflated prices\nand suffered losses may be eligible to seek compensation.\n\nQ: What specific misstatements does the SMPL lawsuit allege? A: The complaint\nalleges The Simply Good Foods Company made materially false or misleading\nstatements regarding the integration and performance of the OWYN acquisition,\nincluding that the integration was \"progressing as planned\" and later that it\nhad \"gone well,\" during the Class Period. When the OWYN sales contraction,\nproduct quality issues, and a $187 million impairment charge were disclosed,\nthe stock price declined sharply.\n\nQ: When did The Simply Good Foods Company allegedly mislead investors? A: The\nClass Period runs from October 24, 2024 to April 8, 2026. The complaint\nalleges that corrective disclosures revealed information that caused a\nsignificant stock decline.\n\nQ: What do SMPL investors need to do right now? A: Investors may gather\nbrokerage records showing purchase dates, share quantities, and prices paid.\nSubmit your information for a no-cost, no-obligation evaluation of your\npotential recovery\n(https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4776399-11&h=649348309&u=https%3A%2F%2Fsuewallst.com%2Flawsuits%2Fthe-simply-good-foods-company-class-action-lawsuit-smpl%3Fprid%3D201816%26wire%3D4&a=Submit+your+information+for+a+no-cost%2C+no-obligation+evaluation+of+your+potential+recovery)\n. No immediate action is required to remain eligible as an absent class\nmember.\n\nQ: What is a lead plaintiff and why does it matter? A: A lead plaintiff is\nthe investor appointed by the court to represent the entire class. Lead\nplaintiffs are typically investors with the largest documented losses. Being\nappointed does not increase individual recovery but gives direct oversight of\nhow the case is run.\n\nQ: What if I already sold my SMPL shares -- can I still recover losses? A:\nYes. Eligibility is based on when you purchased, not whether you still hold\nthe shares. Investors who bought during the Class Period and sold at a loss\nmay still be eligible to participate.\n\nQ: What does it cost me to participate? A: There is no upfront cost to submit\nyour information and review whether you may be eligible to recover. Should you\nchoose to participate in the securities class action, they are generally\nhandled on a contingency basis, with any attorneys' fees and expenses subject\nto court approval.\n\nQ: Do I need to go to court or give testimony? A: No. The overwhelming\nmajority of class members never appear in court or give depositions. If there\nis a settlement or recovery, eligible class members generally submit a claim\nform to seek their portion.\n\nCONTACT:\\\n\nLevi & Korsinsky, LLP\\\n\nJoseph E.
