The controversy centers on a July 22, 2026, announcement in which the company's Board of Directors declared an immediate suspension of its dividend program. Executives justified the move by citing a strategic shift toward debt reduction and improved financial flexibility, yet the market reaction was immediate and severe. By the close of trading on July 23, shares had plummeted $1.62 to settle at $5.76.

Pomerantz LLP is now seeking to determine if the company’s disclosures leading up to this reversal misled investors. The firm, which specializes in corporate and securities litigation, has invited affected shareholders to provide information regarding potential breaches of fiduciary duty. While the company maintains that the decision serves long-term value creation, the legal inquiry aims to uncover whether internal conduct warrants a class-action response.
