Agriculture your username 10 hours ago Pilgrimâs Pride Corporation filed three motions to dismiss, for the corporation and CFO Fabio Sandri, former CEO William Lovette, and current CEO Jayson Penn, in the District of Colorado on Monday after shareholders alleged violations of the Exchange Act. The class action lawsuit claimed that a price-fixing conspiracy led to a sharp downturn in Pilgrimâs Prideâs stock prices. The defendants first took aim at the plaintiffsâ claim that âstatements [Pilgrimâs made] concerning its performance were false and misleadingâ by noting that âanticompetitive conduct in the plea agreement involved three contracts with a single customer that impacted $361 million of salesâ and that âless than 1% of its sales does not support Plaintiffsâ unspecified, broad-brush assertion that an antitrust conspiracy constituted the âtrueâ driver of all of the Companyâs financial performance during the Class Period.â
