CASE ALLEGATIONS: Neogen Corporation, together with its subsidiaries, develops, manufactures, and markets a range of products and services focused on food and animal safety. In December 2021, Neogen announced a strategic merger with the Food Safety Division of 3M Company, a deal that officially closed in September 2022.

According to the class action complaint, defendants misled investors throughout the Class Period by making false and/or misleading statements and by failing to disclose material facts related to the post-merger integration process. Specifically, the lawsuit alleges that:

1. Misrepresentation of Integration Progress:

Defendants gave investors the impression that the integration of 3M’s Food Safety Division into Neogen’s operations was proceeding smoothly and effectively, when in fact it was encountering significant operational and financial difficulties.

2. Minimization of Issues:

Even after Neogen was forced to acknowledge certain “inefficiencies” arising from the integration, defendants allegedly downplayed the seriousness of these issues and assured investors that management was fully aware and actively addressing them.

The truth began to emerge in a series of partial disclosures:

3. January 10, 2025: Neogen announced preliminary Q2 2025 results revealing:

A significant GAAP net loss due to a $461 million non-cash goodwill impairment tied to the 3M acquisition;
Downward revisions to full-year 2025 revenue and EBITDA guidance;
Identification of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2024.

On this news, Neogen’s stock declined by over 5%, according to the complaint.

4. April 9, 2025: Neogen reported:

A Q3 net loss of $11 million (or $0.05 per share), compared to a $2 million loss (or $0.01 per share) a year earlier;
A 3.4% revenue decline to $221 million, negatively impacted by integration-related issues;
Another reduction in fiscal year 2025 revenue and EBITDA outlook;
Increased capital expenditures, projected at $100 million due in part to a pull-forward of integration spending;
The resignation of CEO John Adent.

Following these announcements, Neogen’s stock fell by approximately 28%.

5. June 4, 2025: Neogen disclosed that it expected its EBITDA margin to drop to the “high-teens”, a significant decline from the 22% margin reported in the prior quarter. The Company attributed this shortfall to elevated inventory write-offs.

On this news, Neogen’s share price declined by more than 17%, according to the lawsuit.

The complaint asserts that these disclosures revealed the true extent of the post-merger challenges, which had been concealed or misrepresented during the Class Period, and that investors suffered substantial losses as a result of the defendants’ alleged misconduct.
