NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 23, 2026 / Levi & Korsinsky, LLP notifies pension funds, asset managers, and other institutional investors in The Chemours Company (NYSE: CC) that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of shareholders who purchased securities between February 20, 2026 and August 4, 2026, before an 18.63% single-session decline in CC shares. Request an institutional investor loss assessment. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at jlevi@levikorsinsky.com or (212) 363-7500.

That decline removed $3.34 from each CC share on August 5, 2026, after the Company lowered its full-year adjusted EBITDA outlook. For ERISA plans and other funds weighing securities recovery, every 100,000 shares held through the disclosure lost approximately $334,000 in market value. The window to apply for lead plaintiff closes on December 7, 2026.

Alleged Opteon Demand Overstatement: Case Summary

The securities action alleges that Chemours overstated aftermarket demand for its Opteon refrigerants, a product line whose growth the Company linked in part to the U.S. AIM Act. As claimed, distributors had already stocked heavy inventory in 2025, and the Company reaffirmed its 2026 guidance without accounting for sales that this prebuy activity pulled forward. The pleading asserts that the outlook lacked a reasonable basis until the August 4, 2026 second quarter report reduced it.

ERISA Considerations for Institutional Investor Securities Recovery

Plan sponsors, endowments, and investment managers that held CC during the Class Period can monitor the case as absent class members or seek a direct role in it. For ERISA-governed plans, documenting that review may form part of a prudent process for overseeing plan assets.

"Institutional investors play a critical role in securities class actions, and funds that held Chemours through the August 2026 guidance reduction may wish to assess whether their losses support a lead plaintiff application. The complaint alleges that the Company's 2026 outlook did not reflect aftermarket inventory already sitting in the distribution channel." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.

Fiduciary Obligations and Recovery Options

• ERISA fiduciaries are generally expected to act prudently with plan assets, which may include assessing potential claims tied to securities losses.
• Courts generally presume that the movant with the largest financial interest is the most adequate lead plaintiff, a standard that often favors concentrated institutional positions.
• A lead plaintiff selects and supervises class counsel and oversees litigation strategy and any settlement discussions for the class.
• Eligibility depends on purchasing or acquiring Chemours securities between February 20, 2026 and August 4, 2026, not on whether the position is still held.
• Aggregating custodial and trade data across all accounts and sub-advisers helps measure total Class Period exposure.
