Proof requirements
Proof requirement is currently marked as Yes.
Review the official claim form before submitting any information.
What you need
Proof is required. You'll need documentation of your AgFeed stock purchases or acquisitions and the losses you incurred during the class period — brokerage statements or trade confirmations typically work.
How to file this claim
- Check whether you already have an approved proof of claim from the related AgFeed class action — if so, it carries forward automatically unless you want to modify it or you have zero eligible loss under the new plan.
- Visit the official distribution site at www.SECvAgFeedDistributionFund.com to download the current proof of claim form and review the Distribution Plan instructions.
- Pull your brokerage records for AgFeed common stock — you need purchase and sale records covering the period from March 14, 2008 through December 19, 2011.
- Complete the proof of claim form according to the Distribution Plan's loss calculation method, and attach the supporting brokerage documentation.
- Mail the completed claim to SEC v. AgFeed Distribution Fund, Distribution Agent, P.O. Box 3757, Portland, OR 97208-3757 — the deadline is 2017-03-31, so the envelope must be postmarked by that date.
- If you have questions or need the form by other means, call (888) 286-8201 or email the Distribution Agent directly.
Documents you'll need
Watch out for
- The filing deadline is firm — the notice requires claims be "postmarked no later than March 31, 2017"; anything arriving after that date will not be accepted.
- Only a portion of the total disgorgement judgment flows to Class 5B equity holders (investors) — the Distribution Plan governs exactly how your share is calculated, so read those instructions carefully before submitting.
- Use only the official site www.SECvAgFeedDistributionFund.com or the SEC.gov case page. Investors harmed by securities fraud are frequently targeted by follow-on scam recovery schemes.
- If you held AgFeed shares through a broker in street name, your broker holds the trade confirmations — request them early, as gathering records from years past can take time.
- Investors who had an approved class action claim but show zero eligible loss under the Distribution Plan must file a new claim or they receive nothing.
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.
