Current/Last Presiding Judge:  
Hon. Brantley Starr

Filing Date: August 14, 2017

Forterra, Inc. is a manufacturer of water, drainage, structural and specialty products.

According to the Complaint, it is alleged that the Registration Statement used to conduct the IPO contained inaccurate statements and omitted facts necessary to make other statements made therein not misleading. Among other things, the Registration Statement failed to disclose, at the time of the IPO, that organic sales in Forterra’s Drainage and Water segments had significantly declined, that Forterra was experiencing increased pricing pressure due to competition and continued softness in its concrete and steel pipe business, that Forterra had been losing business in its important pipe and precast business due to in large part to operational problems at its production plants, and that Forterra had undisclosed material weaknesses in its internal controls that prevented it from accurately reporting and forecasting its financial results.

On July 27, 2018, the Court issued an Order consolidating cases. The consolidated cases shall be identified as "In re Forterra, Inc. Securities Litigation." Also on July 27, the Court issued an Order transferring this case to the Dallas Division of the Northern District of Texas under Docket 18-CV-01957.

On September 17, the Court issued an Order appointing Lead Plaintiff and Counsel. Lead Plaintiff filed a consolidated amended Complaint on November 30.

On November 4, 2019, the parties entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement. The Court issued an Order preliminarily approving the Settlement on January 8, 2020. On August 12, the Court granted final approval of the Settlement and entered Final Judgment. The Court issued an Order approving the Settlement's distribution plan on August 4, 2021.
