(COTY) Securities Class Action: The Expanded Class Period and Core\nAllegations\n\nWhile the initial complaint filed against Coty focused on statements made in\nNovember 2025, the newly expanded litigation alleges that Coty's campaign of\nmisrepresentation began earlier, on May 7, 2025.\n\nAccording to the lawsuit, on May 6, 2025, during post-market hours, Coty and\nits senior executives disseminated overwhelmingly positive material\nrepresentations concerning the company's growth potential and operational\nhealth heading into fiscal year 2026. Management repeatedly assured the market\nthat it possessed a strong innovation pipeline, predictable retail trends, and\nthe operational discipline necessary to steadily improve fragrance and beauty\nsales.\n\nIn reality, the complaint alleges that throughout the Expanded Class Period,\nsevere, structural headwinds were concealed from the investing public.\nSpecifically, it is alleged that Coty failed to disclose that:\n\n 1. The Consumer Beauty market was severely underperforming and lagging behind\ncompetitors;\n 2. Profit margins were being aggressively compressed by escalating, unsustainable\nmarketing investments; and\n 3. Prestige fragrance growth was experiencing a sharp, undisclosed deceleration.\nThe Truth Emerges\n\nInvestors began to learn the true state of Coty's business through a series of\nsudden operational updates. On December 12, 2025, Coty abruptly announced the\ndeparture of its CEO, Sue Y. Nabi, without an adequate operational\nexplanation, causing an immediate drop in share value.\n\nThe full extent of the operational collapse was laid bare after the market\nclosed on February 4 and 5, 2026, when Coty announced its Q2 2026 financial\nresults. The company revealed that operating income in its Consumer Beauty\nsegment had plummeted by over 70% year-over-year, while Prestige operating\nincome dropped over 18%. Compounding the shock, Coty completely withdrew its\nfull-year fiscal 2026 EBITDA and free cash flow guidance, while acknowledging\na severe lack of \"operational discipline.\"\n\nOn this devastating news, the price of Coty common stock collapsed, falling\nroughly 22% from a closing price of $3.43 per share on February 4, 2026, to\n$2.66 per share on February 6, 2026, erasing hundreds of millions of dollars\nin shareholder value.\n\nWhat This Means for Investors\n\nThe filing of the expanded complaint does not alter the upcoming May 22, 2026\ndeadline to seek appointment as Lead Plaintiff.\n\nIf you invested in Coty during the Expanded Class Period and have substantial\nlosses, or have knowledge that may assist the firm's investigation, submit\nyour losses now\n(https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4693853-1&h=2744402985&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hbsslaw.com%2Finvestor-fraud%2Fcoty&a=submit+your+losses+now)\n»\n\nIf you'd like more information and answers to frequently asked questions about\nthe Coty case and the firm's investigation, read more »\n(https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4693853-1&h=2739988627&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hbsslaw.com%2Fcases%2Fcoty-inc-coty-securities-class-action&a=read+more+%C2%BB)\n\n\"We're investigating the extended period of alleged misrepresentations which\nis alleged to have harmed investors who bought into Coty's growth narrative as\nearly as spring of last year.\" said Reed Kathrein\n(https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4693853-1&h=2878174713&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hbsslaw.com%2Fattorneys%2Freed-kathrein&a=Reed+Kathrein)\n, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm's investigation of the pending\nclaims.\n\nWhistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding Coty should\nconsider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the\nSEC Whistleblower program.
