Frequently Asked Questions: Below are answers to the eight most frequently asked questions by investors about the Primo Brands class action lawsuit.

1. Who Is Affected by the Primo Brands class action lawsuit?

Purchasers or acquirers of acquirers of Primo Brands Corporation (NYSE: PRMB) common stock between November 11, 2024 and November 6, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”), including purchasers of common stock of Primo Water Corporation (“Primo Water”) between June 17, 2024 and November 8, 2024, inclusive.

2. How Does it Work?

• A lawsuit is initiated by one or more investors, called the “lead plaintiffs,” on behalf of a larger group of investors, or the “class”.

• The “class period” is defined as the specific timeframe during which the alleged fraudulent activity took place. Only those who bought or sold the security during this period are eligible to participate.

• A lead plaintiff is appointed to represent the class. Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act (PSLRA), the court will typically appoint the investor with the largest financial interest in the outcome of the case.

• The case is litigated, which may include a lengthy discovery phase for gathering evidence.

• The case can be settled or go to trial. Most class actions are resolved through settlements, which can include cash or stock paid into a common fund for the class. The lead plaintiff and class counsel approve any settlement before it is finalized.

3. What Do the Plaintiffs Have to Prove in the Primo Brands class action lawsuit?

To succeed in a federal securities fraud class action, plaintiffs must prove several elements:

• Material misstatement or omission: The company made a false or misleading statement or failed to disclose a material fact.

• Scienter: The defendant acted with an intent to deceive, manipulate, or defraud.

• Reliance: The plaintiff relied on the misstatement or omission when buying or selling the security. For publicly traded securities, this can be proven through the “fraud-on-the-market” theory, which presumes the market price reflects all public, material information.

• Economic loss: The plaintiff suffered a financial loss.

• Loss causation: The company’s misstatement or omission directly caused the plaintiff’s loss, often demonstrated by a stock price drop after the truth is revealed in a “corrective disclosure”

4. What Are the Benefits for Investors in Joining the Primo Brands class action lawsuit?

• Participating in a class action allows investors to pool their resources, which offers leverage they would not have in an individual lawsuit against a large corporation.

• The collective approach also makes it more efficient and cost-effective to pursue legal action, especially for smaller investors.

5. How Do I Get Involved in the Primo Brands class action lawsuit?

• If you bought a security during the alleged class period and suffered a loss, you are generally automatically included in the class. You don’t have to take any action unless you want to file a claim for recovery later.

• You may be notified of a class action by mail if you are an eligible class member.

• You may be able to become a lead plaintiff by applying within 60 days of the first lawsuit being announced.

• If you believe you may have a claim, you can contact a securities class action law firm for guidance. 

6. What Are the Allegations in the Primo Brands class action lawsuit?

Overview

CASE ALLEGATIONS: Primo Brands operates as a branded beverage company in North America.  According to the complaint, on June 17, 2024, Primo Water and BlueTriton Brands, Inc. announced that the two companies had agreed to merge in a “[t]ransformative all-stock transaction” to form Primo Brands.

False and Misleading Statements

The Primo Brands class action lawsuit alleges that throughout the Class Period defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that the merger integration between Primo Water and BlueTriton Brands was tracking poorly due to, among other things, technology and services issues.

August 7, 2025, Announcement

The Primo Brands class action lawsuit further alleges that on August 7, 2025, Primo Brands announced its second quarter 2025 financial results and then-CEO, defendant Robbert Rietbroek, admitted on the corresponding earnings call that “[t]he speed by which we closed facilities and reduced headcount led to disruptions in product supply, delivery, and service.”  On this news, the price of Primo Brands stock fell more than 9%, according to the complaint.

November 6, 2025, Announcement

Then, on November 6, 2025, the Primo Brands class action lawsuit alleges that:

• Primo Brands revealed that defendant Robbert Rietbroek was being replaced as CEO and that Primo Brands was slashing its full year 2025 net sales and adjusted EBITDA guidance.
• Newly appointed CEO Eric Foss allegedly admitted that Primo Brands “probably moved too far too fast on some of the various integration work streams” and that “[t]here’s no doubt that speed impacted our ability to get through a lot of the warehouse closures and route realignment without disruption.”
• The complaint further alleges that Primo Brands was forced to reduce its 2025 forecast to a low single digit decline, after previously cutting its outlook from expected growth of +3-5% to roughly flat or up just 1%.
• On this news, the price of Primo Brands stock fell more than 36% over two trading sessions, according to the complaint.

7. When is the Lead Plaintiff Deadline in the Primo Brands Class Action Lawsuit?

To be eligible for appointment as the lead plaintiff in the Primo Brands class action lawsuit, an investor must meet the following criteria:

• Securities Acquisition: The investor must have purchases or acquired of Primo Brands Corporation (NYSE: PRMB) common stock between November 11, 2024 and November 6, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”), including purchasers of common stock of Primo Water Corporation (“Primo Water”) between June 17, 2024 and November 8, 2024, inclusive.

• Financial Losses: The investor must have suffered financial losses as a direct result of the alleged securities fraud perpetrated by Blue Owl and its executives.
