Consumers who purchased or otherwise acquired Tupperware Brands Corp. common stock between May 5, 2021, and May 4, 2022, may be eligible to claim a cash payment from a class action settlement.

Tupperware Brands Corp. agreed to pay $21.75 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging violations of federal securities laws. The lawsuit claimed the company and certain executives made misleading statements about Tupperware’s ability to maintain gross margins through price increases even as costs rose.

Who can file a Tupperware claim?

Class members must meet all of the following criteria:

  • They purchased or otherwise acquired Tupperware Brands Corp. common stock between May 5, 2021, and May 4, 2022.
  • They acquired shares directly (not solely through a mutual fund or similar pooled investment).
  • They have transaction documentation.

Additional details:

  • Selling Tupperware stock during the class period does not make an individual eligible unless they also purchased or otherwise acquired shares during that time.
  • Both individuals and institutional investors may qualify provided they meet the purchase criteria.

How much can class members receive?

Pro rata payment: The total settlement fund is $21,750,000. However, the actual amount each class member receives will depend on several factors, including the number of valid claims submitted, the number of shares each claimant purchased and the timing of those purchases and sales.

The average recovery is estimated at $1.42 per allegedly damaged share before deductions for attorneys’ fees and expenses and $0.90 per allegedly damaged share after deductions.

How is the payment calculated?

The plan of allocation uses a detailed formula to determine each claimant’s recognized loss based on:

  • When the claimant purchased and sold the shares
  • The amount of alleged price inflation at the time of purchase and sale
  • Whether the claimant held shares through certain corrective disclosure dates
  • The 90-day lookback period after the class period

Artificial inflation in Tupperware common stock

  • May 5-Nov. 2, 2021: $12.46 per share
  • Nov. 3, 2021: $6.89 per share
  • Nov. 4, 2021–May 3, 2022: $6.13 per share
  • May 4, 2022, and after: $0 per share

Recognized loss calculation

  • Class members who sold their shares before Nov. 3, 2021, have a $0 recognized loss.
  • Class members who bought and sold shares between two corrective disclosure dates have a $0 recognized loss.
  • Class members who bought shares during the class period and sold them between Nov. 3, 2021, and May 3, 2022, have a recognized loss of the difference in price inflation between the purchase and sale dates.
  • Class members who bought shares during the class period and sold them between May 4, 2022, and Aug. 1, 2022 (the 90-day lookback period), have a recognized loss that is the lesser of:
    • The price inflation at purchase OR
    • The purchase price minus the 90-day lookback value on the sale date (see Table 2 in the class notice)
  • Class members who bought shares during the class period and held them through Aug. 1, 2022, have a recognized loss that is the lesser of:
    • The price inflation at purchase OR
    • The purchase price minus $6.94 (the average closing price during the 90-day lookback period)

The payment calculation is (the class member's recognized loss/the total recognized losses of all valid claimants) x the net settlement fund.

Claimants whose calculated payment is less than $10 will not receive it.
