A securities class action over the August 26, 2025 $9.15 per share Clearlake merger alleges the proxy misled investors on the company's true value and the Executive Chairman's conflicts. Since the merger closed in August 2025, the public shares at issue are largely gone, so the notice mainly matters to former holders; it adds reputational rather than tradable-price pressure.
