How hard is this claim to file?
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.
