According to the Complaint, Jeld-Wen Holding, Inc. is one of the largest door and window manufacturers in the world.

Throughout the Class Period, Jeld-Wen stated that its products, including doors, compete against those of other manufacturers based on price, and described the market in which the Company sells its doors as "highly competitive." The Company also repeatedly attributed its strong margins and anticipated margin growth to legitimate business factors, such as "strategic pricing decisions" and an increased emphasis on "pricing optimization." The Complaint alleges that these and similar statements made by Defendants during the Class Period were false and misleading because Defendants knew that Jeld-Wen was engaged in a price-fixing conspiracy and that as a result of Defendants' misrepresentations, shares of Jeld-Wen's common stock traded at artificially inflated prices throughout the Class Period.

On May 8, 2020, the Court issued an Order appointing Co-Lead Plaintiffs and Counsel. Co-Lead Plaintiffs filed a consolidated Complaint on June 22. Defendants filed Motions to Dismiss the consolidated Complaint on July 29. On October 26, the Court issued an Order denying Defendants' Motions to Dismiss.

Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Class Certification on January 19, 2021. On March 29, the Court issued an Order granting the Motion for Class Certification. On June 4, the parties entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement. The Court granted preliminary approval of the Settlement on July 28. On November 22, the Court granted final approval of the Settlement and entered Final Judgment.
