Welcome to the Under Armour Securities Litigation Website

This website describes your rights as a Class Member with respect to the certified class action against Under Armour, Inc. and Kevin A. Plank.

The purpose of this website is to advise you that presently pending before the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the “Court”) is a consolidated securities case captioned In re Under Armour Securities Litigation, No. RDB-17-388. Pursuant to the Court’s Order dated September 29, 2022, the Court certified this securities case as a class action to proceed on behalf of the Class. Lead Plaintiffs Aberdeen City Council as Administrating Authority for the North East Scotland Pension Fund, Monroe County Employees’ Retirement System, and KBC Asset Management NV have been appointed Class Representatives.

The “Class,” as certified by the Court, consists of: All persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Class A and Class C common stock of Under Armour, Inc. (“Under Armour”) between September 16, 2015, and November 1, 2019, inclusive (“Class Period”). Excluded from the Class are Defendants, present or former executive officers and directors of Under Armour and their immediate family members.

NATURE AND STATUS OF THE LITIGATION

The Consolidated Third Amended Complaint (the “Complaint”) alleges that Defendants violated Sections 10(b)and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the “Exchange Act”), and Defendant Kevin A. Plank violated Section 20A of the Exchange Act, by knowingly or recklessly misrepresenting and concealing material facts during the Class Period regarding consumer demand for Under Armour’s products and the Company’s financial and operating results. The Complaint alleges that Defendants misled investors during the Class Period by falsely claiming that consumer demand for the Company’s products was strong between the third quarter of 2015 and the fourth quarter of 2016 when in reality demand was in decline. The Class Representatives seek, for themselves and all other similarly situated persons, compensatory damages, interest, and reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and experts’ fees.

This website is not an admission by Defendants or an expression by the Court of any opinion on the likelihood of recovery by the Class Representatives or on the merits of any defense asserted by Defendants. There is no settlement or monetary recovery at this time, and there is no guarantee there will be any recovery. This website is provided so that you may decide what steps, if any, to take in relation to your continued participation in the Class.
