In July 2015, Chemours became public via a spinoff of the Performance Chemicals division of E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (“DuPont”).
On May 6, 2019, Glenview Capital Management’s Larry Robbins stated that Chemours faced “4 to $6 billion” in environmental liabilities, which is “60 to 100% of its market [capitalization].”
On this news, the Company’s share price fell $2.57 per share, or over 7%, to close at $31.61 per share on May 6, 2019, thereby injuring investors.
Then, on June 28, 2019, a complaint filed by Chemours against DuPont was unsealed, which alleged that DuPont sought to “shift as much liability onto Chemours as possible – and, at the same time, to extract for DuPont a multi-billion-dollar dividend payment from the new company.” This complaint also revealed that Chemours faced over $2.5 billion in environmental liabilities.
On this news, the Company’s share price fell $2.37, or nearly 10%, to close at $22.53 per share on July 1, 2019, thereby injuring investors further.
Then, on August 1, 2019, the Company announced its second quarter 2019 financial results and disclosed significant increases to its estimated environmental liabilities, including many new legal and regulatory actions related to perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS”).
On this news, the Company’s share price fell $3.47, or over 19%, to close at $14.69 per share on August 2, 2019, thereby injuring investors further.
