CONTACT KTMC

Notice is hereby given that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of those who purchased or otherwise acquired Ulta Beauty, Inc. (“Ulta”) (Nasdaq: ULTA) publicly traded securities between March 30, 2016, and February 23, 2018, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

ULTA investors may receive additional information about the case by clicking the link "Submit Your Information" above.

According to the complaint, Ulta operates a chain of beauty stores and offers cosmetics, fragrance, skin and hair care products, and salon services, and serves customers throughout the United States.

The Class Period commences on March 30, 2016, when Ulta filed an annual report on Form 10-K announcing the company’s financial and operating results for the quarter and fiscal year ended January 30, 2016.

According to the complaint, on February 9, 2018, at market close, media outlets reported that a consumer class action lawsuit had been filed against Ulta, alleging that the company engaged in the “widespread and surreptitious” practice of repacking returned cosmetics and re-shelving them alongside unblemished products to sell at full price. According to the lawsuit, “dozens of other current and former Ulta employees from retail locations all over the country confirmed that substantially similar practices also occurred at the Ulta stores where they worked.” Following this news, Ulta’s share price fell $9.07, or 4.15%, to close at $209.48 on February 12, 2018, the following trading day.

On February 23, 2018, CBS News published a story on its website entitled “Former Ulta Beauty employee says she felt pressured to resell used products,” reporting on statements, initially made on Twitter by at least one former Ulta employee, to the effect that Ulta store managers frequently pressured the company’s employees to clean and resell used products. Following this CBS News report, Ulta’s share price fell $8.18 or 3.94%, to close at $198.93 on February 26, 2018.

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, the defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the company’s business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, the complaint alleges that the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the company was engaged in the widespread practice of repackaging returned cosmetics and re-shelving them alongside unblemished products to sell at full retail price; and (ii) that as a result of the foregoing, Ulta’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

If you are a member of the class described above, you may no later than May 1, 2018 move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff of the class, if you so choose.

A lead plaintiff is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member’s claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class. Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. Any member of the purported class may move the court to serve as a lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an inactive class member.
