Rite Aid Ch. 11 Stay Doesn’t Apply To Execs, Investors Say
Rite Aid shareholders urged a Pennsylvania federal court this week to not pause their class claims alleging company executives made misleading statements about the pharmacy retailer’s opioid-related liabilities, asserting that the individuals named in the lawsuit are not covered by an automatic stay in the firm’s ongoing Chapter 11 case.
In a memorandum filed Tuesday, the proposed class of investors argued that Ride Aid Corp. should not be granted a stay on the securities action in Pennsylvania district court until after the company receives confirmation on its insolvency plan.
