Deadline Alert: Understanding Lead Plaintiff Selection Under the PSLRA

NEW YORK , June 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SueWallSt reminds purchasers of Stellantis N.V. (NYSE: STLA) securities of a pending securities class action.

IMPORTANT DATE: June 8, 2026. Investors who wish to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Stellantis N.V. (NYSE: STLA) securities class action must file a motion by this date.

THE CASE: A class action seeks to recover damages for investors who purchased Stellantis securities between February 26, 2025, and February 5, 2026.

YOUR OPTIONS: You may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out-of-pocket fees. Start your claim now before the deadline or contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at jlevi@SueWallSt.com or (888) SueWallSt.

Shares of STLA fell $2.26 per share, a decline of approximately 23.69%, in a single trading session on February 6, 2026, after the Company disclosed €22 billion in charges and confirmed a shortfall against previously guided adjusted operating income benchmarks.

What is a Lead Plaintiff?

Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("PSLRA"), the court appoints one investor or small group of investors as lead plaintiff to represent the entire class. In the Stellantis action, lead plaintiff applicants must demonstrate losses from purchases of STLA securities between February 26, 2025, and February 5, 2026. The court generally selects the applicant with the largest financial interest in the relief sought who is otherwise typical and adequate.

Lead Plaintiff Facts

• There is no minimum loss threshold to apply for lead plaintiff status in the STLA case
• Lead plaintiffs select and direct lead counsel, overseeing litigation strategy on behalf of all class members
• Serving as lead plaintiff does not require appearing in court or giving testimony in most circumstances
• Lead plaintiff appointment does not increase an individual's recovery; it provides oversight of how the case proceeds
• All legal fees are paid on a contingency basis, meaning no out-of-pocket costs regardless of outcome
• Investors who do not apply by June 8, 2026, may still participate as absent class members in any recovery

Post-Deadline Procedures

After the June 8, 2026 deadline passes, the court will evaluate competing motions and appoint a lead plaintiff, typically within 30 to 60 days. Lead counsel is then selected and an amended complaint may be filed. Discovery, motions practice, and potential settlement negotiations follow. Absent class members need take no action during this process and are automatically included in any recovery.

"The lead plaintiff process is designed to ensure the class is represented by shareholders with substantial interests in the outcome of the litigation. In the Stellantis case, the alleged gap between guided mid-single-digit AOI margins and the 0.7% margin ultimately reported raises significant questions for investors who relied on those projections." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.

Frequently Asked Questions About the STLA Lawsuit

Q: What do STLA investors need to do right now? A: Gather brokerage records including purchase dates, share quantities, and prices paid. Contact SueWallSt for a free, no-obligation evaluation at jlevi@SueWallSt.com or (888) SueWallSt. No immediate action is required to remain eligible as a class member.

Q: What is a lead plaintiff and why does it matter? A: A lead plaintiff is the investor appointed by the court to represent the entire class. Lead plaintiffs are typically investors with the largest documented losses. Being appointed does not increase individual recovery but gives direct oversight of how the case is run.

Q: How do I know if I lost enough money to be the lead plaintiff? A: There is no minimum loss threshold. Courts appoint the investor with the largest provable loss who is willing and able to represent the class adequately. Contact SueWallSt before June 8, 2026 to evaluate.

Q: What if I already sold my STLA shares -- can I still recover losses? A: Yes. Eligibility is based on when you purchased, not whether you still hold them. Investors who bought during the class period and sold at a loss may still participate.

Q: What does it cost me to participate? A: Nothing. Securities class actions are handled on a pure contingency basis. No upfront fees, no retainer, no out-of-pocket costs.

Q: What if I missed the lead plaintiff deadline? A: The deadline applies only to investors seeking lead plaintiff appointment. Class members who miss it can still participate in any settlement or recovery.

Q: Can I join a different law firm's lawsuit instead? A: Multiple firms often file competing complaints. The court consolidates and appoints a single lead counsel. Contacting SueWallSt before June 8, 2026 ensures your losses are considered.
