Investors Sought to Lead Masonite Share-Buyback Lawsuit Citing Owens Corning Offers

Overview

• The complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b-5.
• Plaintiffs say Masonite bought back shares while holding higher-priced takeover offers from Owens Corning, rendering prior statements misleading.
• The proposed class covers trades in Masonite stock between June 5, 2023 and February 8, 2024, with some notices addressing sellers and others purchasers.
• The Schall Law Firm, DJS Law Group, and Rosen Law Firm are soliciting investors and potential lead-plaintiff candidates.
• No court has certified a class or ruled on liability, and the firms’ releases constitute attorney advertising rather than judicial findings.
