Allegations in the Kohl's Class Action Lawsuit
In October 2020, Kohl's announced that it had entered into a new strategic framework to“drive top-line growth,”“expand operating margin,” and become“the most trusted retailer of choice for the active and casual lifestyle” (the“Strategic Plan”). In announcing the Strategic Plan, Kohl's touted its purportedly strong foundation of customers, industry-leading loyalty and charge card programs, high volume of stores, and large and growing digital business.
The Kohl's class action lawsuit alleges that defendants failed to disclose that: (i) Kohl's Strategic Plan was not well tailored to achieving Kohl's stated goals; (ii) the defendants had likewise overstated Kohl's success in executing its Strategic Plan; (iii) Kohl's had deficient disclosure controls and procedures, internal control over financial reporting, and corporate governance mechanisms; (iv) as a result, Kohl's Board of Directors was able to and did withhold material information from shareholders about the state of Kohl's in the lead-up to Kohl's annual meeting; and (v) all the foregoing, once revealed, was likely to have a material negative impact on Kohl's financial condition and reputation.
On May 19, 2022, Kohl's announced its first quarter of 2022 results, reporting, among other items, a net sales figure expected to grow up to only 1% (compared to Wall Street consensus growth of 1.94%), earnings per share of $0.11 (missing estimates by $0.59), a revenue figure which only barely edged expectations, and Kohl's decision to cut its full year earnings forecast. These results were at odds with defendants' representations regarding the successful execution of Kohl's Strategic Plan, which was purportedly poised to drive top-line growth and position Kohl's for long-term success.
Then, on May 20, 2022, Macellum Advisors GP, LLC,“a long-term holder of nearly 5% of the outstanding common shares of Kohl's,” issued a statement addressing“[t]his quarter's extremely disappointing results,” which Macellum attributed to a“flawed strategic plan and an inability to execute.” Macellum also stated that“the current Board appears to have withheld material information from shareholders about the state of Kohl's in the lead-up to this year's pivotal annual meeting,” which“suggests to us a clear breach of fiduciary duty.” On this news, Kohl's stock price fell by nearly 13%, damaging investors who suffered losses in Kohl's stock.
