Allegations in the O-I Glass, Inc. lawsuit

The O-I Glass, Inc. shareholder lawsuit alleges that, throughout the class period, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts about O-I Glass, Inc.’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, the complaint alleges defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the true state of O-I Glass’ Fit to Win program, including the delay in achieving its targeted cost savings, higher than expected expenses, operational disruptions that materially offset Fit to Win benefits; (2) continued competitive and energy-cost pressures affecting its European operations; and (3) as a result, defendants’ positive statements about O-I Glass, Inc.’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

O-I Glass, Inc. investors who purchased or otherwise acquired securities during the class period may move the Court by December 28, 2026 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action.

“The lawsuit against O-I Glass, Inc. alleges that, among other things, the Company failed to tell investors that the true state of O-I Glass’ Fit to Win program, including the delay in achieving its targeted cost savings, higher than expected expenses, operational disruptions that materially offset Fit to Win benefits. O-I Glass, Inc. investors who bought during the class period may be able to pursue their losses through this class action, and the December 28, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline is an important first date,” said Howard G.
