Dometic Group: Clarification Regarding Media Statements on Class Action Complaint

Regulatory News:

Dometic Group: (STO:DOM)

In view of the statements Hagens Berman has made regarding an alleged new class action complaint that has been filed against Dometic in the US, the company makes the following clarification.

The class action complaint referred to by Hagens Berman, which was filed on July 8, 2016, is not a new complaint but rather an amended complaint; it was filed by the same law firm in the same court. The amended complaint adds two additional plaintiffs, who jointly own an RV, to the original five plaintiffs for a total of seven plaintiffs. Dometic filed a motion to dismiss the original complaint on June 17 and will file another motion to dismiss the amended complaint. Amended complaints are common and this one was not unexpected.

Another common part of the legal process is that competing law firms can file similar complaints. Another law firm filed a similar lawsuit against Dometic in the Southern District of Florida. This complaint currently includes seven individual plaintiffs, none of whom claims to have experienced any manifested defect related to a Dometic product.

Dometic remains firm in its position that the allegations are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them.

This information is information that Dometic Group AB (publ) is obliged to make public pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation. The information was submitted for publication, through the agency of the contact person set out above, at 8.15 CET on 12 July 2016.
