Maytag Corporation is an American appliance company.

The original Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, the Defendants failed to disclose and misrepresented material adverse facts which were known to Defendants or recklessly disregarded by them and which caused the Defendants to issue materially false and misleading financial projections, among other things, which caused the price of Maytag stock to trade at artificially inflated prices. Among other things, the Complaint alleges that the Defendants attempted to inflate the price of Maytag stock in an effort to secure a higher price for the Company in connection with its buyout negotiations with Ripplewood Holdings LLC.
