DEFENDANTS' ALLEGED MISCONDUCT: The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) despite knowing by April and early May 2025 that its North America Fiber Cement distributors were destocking inventory, James Hardie falsely claimed demand remained strong and that stock levels were &#34;normal&#34;; (2) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: James Hardie investors may, no later than December 23, 2025, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer &amp; Check, LLP or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation. The lead plaintiff is usually the investor or small group of investors who have the largest financial interest and who are also adequate and typical of the proposed class of investors. The lead plaintiff selects counsel to represent the lead plaintiff and the class and these attorneys, if approved by the court, are lead or class counsel.
