How hard is this claim to file?

If you bought ARCP common stock on or after February 28, 2013 and still held it at the close of trading on October 28, 2014, you need to file a Proof of Claim to get paid — unless you already filed in the related Class Action and received a postcard saying your prior claim covers you here too.

Documents you'll need

Watch out for

  • The deadline is 2021-11-15 — the notice lists this as a hard cutoff with no mention of extensions.
  • Do not file a new claim if you already received a Class Action postcard — your old claim is being used to evaluate your eligibility here.
  • The only official website is www.ARCapitalFairFund.com, authorized by the SEC — do not use any other site or respond to anyone claiming to process this claim for you.
  • Your payment is calculated based on your eligible shares relative to all eligible claimants; if your preliminary calculation falls below $10.00, no payment is issued.
  • Missing or incomplete supporting documentation is the fastest way to have a claim rejected.

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.
