Pomerantz Law Firm Files Class Action Against Arconic Corporation Over Securities Fraud Allegations
Class Action Against Arconic Corporation
On March 3, 2025, Pomerantz LLP announced a class action lawsuit against Arconic Corporation, a company listed on NASDAQ under the ticker ARNC. This legal action has been triggered by claims that Arconic and some of its senior management failed to disclose critical information regarding offers to buy back the company's shares at a significantly higher price than the market value.
Background of the Case
Arconic, known for its manufacturing solutions in the aerospace and automotive sectors, is now facing serious allegations regarding securities fraud. The class action suit questions whether Arconic's officers engaged in unlawful business practices by concealing vital information from investors. Specifically, the lawsuit highlights that the company did not disclose a formal acquisition offer from Apollo Global Management, Inc., allowing them to repurchase their shares at decreased prices amidst this information gap.
Key Allegations
The lawsuit focuses on a critical period when Arconic initiated stock buyback programs, allegedly at prices lower than the substantial acquisition offer that had been made by Apollo. Investors assert that these actions ultimately misled them and kept the stock price artificially low. The Complaint affirms that Arconic had a legal obligation to disclose the acquisition offer or to stop trading its securities altogether.
On May 4, 2023, Arconic announced that it had reached an agreement with Apollo for an all-cash transaction at $30.00 per share. In an immediate response to the news, Arconic’s stock surged by 28.3%, from a closing price of $22.55 on May 3 to $28.93 on May 4. This stark increase underscores the potentially misleading nature of Arconic’s earlier silence about the acquisition offer.
Timeline and Important Deadlines
Investors who bought Arconic securities during the specified Class Period have until March 31, 2025, to apply to the Court to be named as the Lead Plaintiff for the class.
