Compass Minerals (CMP) Alert: Johnson Fistel Announces Shareholder Class Action Against Compass Minerals Survives Motion to Dismiss; Should Management be Held Accountable for Investors Losses?

Johnson Fistel, LLP is investigating potential claims on behalf of Compass Minerals International, Inc. (NYSE: CMP) (“Compass Minerals” or the “Company”) against certain of its officers and directors. Specifically, a class action lawsuit pending in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas against Compass Minerals and certain of its current and former officers recently survived, in part, certain defendants' attempts to have the case dismissed.

Recently a class action complaint was filed against the company. The Compass Minerals class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period repeatedly assured investors that the CMCH upgrade at the Goderich mine was on track to materially reduce costs and boost Compass Minerals’ operating results starting in 2018. However, defendants’ statements were misleading because they failed to tell investors that costs at the Goderich mine were increasing rather than decreasing. The Compass Minerals class action lawsuit further alleges that defendants also misrepresented the amount of salt Compass Minerals was able to produce at Goderich using the new CMCH equipment and failed to disclose how the known and ongoing production shortfalls it was experiencing were reasonably expected to reduce its future operating income.
