The action alleges that defendants made materially false and misleading statements concerning Sotera’s ability to control toxic emissions of Ethlyne Oxide (“EtO”) resulting from its terminal sterilization services and its potential liability from lawsuits alleging that emissions from Sotera’s facilities cause cancer.

On September 19, 2022, in the first lawsuit arising from Sotera’s EtO emissions to go to trial, an Illinois state court jury found Sotera liable for the plaintiff’s cancer and awarded $363 million in damages and cited Sotera’s “willful and wanton” misconduct in not preventing toxic EtO emissions, as well as Sotera’s failure to warn about the severe health hazard posed by the Company’s Illinois facility. On this news, Sotera’s stock price declined $4.90 per share, or 33.3%, to close at $9.83 per share on September 19, 2022.

News reports subsequently revealed that the jury verdict was supported by “[e]mails and corporate documents” that showed Sotera “knew long ago” about the toxic effects of EtO and that Sotera “delayed installing pollution-control equipment and attempted to undermine federal regulations that would require costly improvements at sterilization facilities.” On this news, Sotera’s stock price fell an additional 16.6% to close at $8.20 per share on September 20, 2022.

Analysts proceeded to downgrade Sotera stock due to risks to Sotera of future EtO-related litigation. On this news, Sotera’s stock price fell another 10.7% to close at $7.32 per share on September 21, 2022. In response to these revelations, Sotera’s stock price declined 68% from its IPO price of $23 per share, and nearly 73% from the SPO offering price of $27 per share.
