NEW YORK, Sept. 14, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, has reminded investors of The Simply Good Foods Company (NASDAQ: SMPL) of an important deadline. Investors who purchased common stock of the company between October 24, 2024, and April 8, 2026, inclusive, are eligible to join a securities fraud lawsuit.
According to the lawsuit, the company is accused of making materially false and misleading statements during the class period. The lawsuit claims that the company failed to disclose several key issues related to the acquisition of Only What You Need, Inc. (OWYN). Specifically, the lawsuit alleges that the company lost key managerial personnel following the acquisition, which impaired its ability to achieve the strategic initiatives and financial and operational targets set for the OWYN segment. This loss of personnel led to an inefficient organizational structure and a lack of clear strategic priorities.
Additionally, the lawsuit states that the company increased its general and administrative spending to compensate for the loss of key personnel, which contributed to a bloated organizational structure. The addition of a new pea protein supplier for OWYN formulations before the acquisition is also cited as a cause of significant product quality issues, negatively impacting the taste, texture, and shelf-life of OWYN products. This, in turn, led to negative product reviews, decreased consumer sales, and the loss of important distributor relationships.
The lawsuit further alleges that the company engaged in promotional activities to boost sales of OWYN products, offering discounts above historical practices, which eroded margins without achieving the desired sales turnaround. To address the margin erosion, the company cut brand support and marketing for the OWYN segment, further depressing product sales. The lawsuit claims that these actions resulted in the OWYN acquisition largely failing to achieve its strategic goals, leading to severe operational and execution problems and materially negative impacts on the business and operational results of the OWYN segment.
The Rosen Law Firm, known for its track record in leadership roles in securities class actions, encourages investors to select qualified counsel with experience in such matters. The firm has achieved significant settlements, including the largest ever against a Chinese company, and has been ranked in the top 4 for securities class actions settlements in multiple years.
