The lawsuit alleges that Methode failed to disclose that: (i) it had lost highly skilled and experienced employees during the COVID-19 pandemic necessary to successfully complete the Company's transition to a high mix, low production model at its Monterrey facility; (ii) its attempts to replace its General Motors center console production with more diversified, specialized products for a wider array of vehicle manufacturers and OEMs, in particular in the electric vehicle (“EV”) space, had been plagued by production planning deficiencies, inventory shortages, and supplier problems; (iii) Methode's manufacturing systems at its Monterrey facility suffered from logistical defects; and (iv) Methode had fallen substantially behind on the launch of new EV programs out of its Monterrey facility, preventing the Company from timely receiving revenue from new EV program awards.
