Johnson Controls International plc

Gumm v. Molinaroli, et al.

In May 2024, stockholders of Johnson Controls, Inc., filed a putative class action Complaint against Johnson Controls, Inc., certain former officers and directors of Johnson Controls, Inc., and two related entities (Jagara Merger Sub LLC and Johnson Controls International plc) in Wisconsin state court relating to the 2016 merger of Johnson Controls and Tyco (Gumm et al. v. Molinaroli et al., Case No. 30106, filed May 23, 2024 in the Circuit Court for Milwaukee County, Wisconsin). The filing of the state court Complaint follows the dismissal of a related lawsuit originally filed in federal court in 2016, which dismissal was affirmed on appeal in November 2023. On March 28, 2025, the Court dismissed the complaint in its entirety. Plaintiffs have appealed the decision, though the timing of the decision by the court is currently unknown.
