Shareholders of Red Lobster have filed a lawsuit alleging that the company's former majority shareholder, Thai Union Group, exploited its controlling stake to extract profits through an unsustainable "Ultimate Endless Shrimp" promotion. The lawsuit claims Thai Union pushed to make the promotion permanent, leading to significant financial losses for Red Lobster, including an $11 million deficit in one quarter. This promotion, along with other uneconomic contracts, allegedly benefited Thai Union at the expense of Red Lobster, contributing to the chain's eventual Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in May 2024. AI
