DEFENDANTS’ ALLEGED MISCONDUCT

The Class Period begins on April 30, 2019, when Cummins filed its quarterly report with the SEC wherein the company advised investors that, following conversations with the EPA and other governmental regulators regarding certification for the engines in the 2019 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks, it was formally reviewing its emissions certification and compliance process for its pickup truck applications.

Thereafter and throughout the Class Period, Cummins continued to make the same representations to investors in SEC filings and other public statements, however, despite the company’s continued assurances about the legal compliance of its engines, Cummins was continuing to produce engines for RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks with unlawful emission control devices.

The truth was finally revealed on December 22, 2023, when during pre-market hours, Cummins disclosed that the company had reached an agreement in principle with the EPA and other state and federal regulators “to resolve civil claims regarding the [c]ompany’s emissions certification and compliance process for certain engines” and that Cummins expected to record “a charge of approximately $2.04 billion in the fourth quarter of 2023 to resolve these claims and related matters.”

Further, that same day, the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) revealed that, not only had the company engaged in malfeasance for years prior to its April 2019 announcement of its internal review, but also that the company engaged in malfeasance for years after it disclosed the review of its compliance with emissions standards. For example, the DOJ stated that Cummins had “allegedly installed defeat devices on 630,000 model year 2013 to 2019 RAM 2500 and 3500 pickup truck engines.” The DOJ’s press release also disclosed that the company allegedly installed undisclosed auxiliary emission control devices on 330,000 model year 2019 to 2023 RAM 2500 and 3500 pickup truck engines. According to the DOJ, the penalty agreed to with Cummins would be the “largest ever for a clean air act violation and the second largest ever environmental penalty.”

Following this news, the price of Cummins stock fell by $7.01 per share, or 2.87%, to close at $236.99 on December 22, 2023.
