[. . .] The Company's next-generation fire retardants help to slow, stop and prevent wildfires through the use of high-performing and environmentally-friendly products." On May 5, 2023, Compass Minerals fully took over Fortress North America, LLC ("Fortress"). In 2023, Fortress only sold its fire retardant products to the United States Forest Service (the "USFS").
The lawsuit alleges that on March 25, 2024, before the market opened, the Company issued a press release entitled "Compass Minerals Announces the Company Will Not Secure a USFS Contract to Supply Magnesium Chloride-Based Aerial Fire Retardants for the 2024 Fire Season."

A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation. The lead plaintiff is usually the investor or small group of investors who have the largest financial interest and who are also adequate and typical of the proposed class of investors. The lead plaintiff selects counsel to represent the lead plaintiff and the class and these attorneys, if approved by the court, are lead or class counsel. Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. Communicating with any counsel is not necessary to participate or share in any recovery achieved in this case. Any member of the purported class may move the Court to serve as a lead plaintiff through counsel of his/her choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an inactive class member.
