Important dates
How hard is this claim to file?
Watch out for
- This is a non-opt-out class — you cannot exclude yourself from the settlement
- Payments will not be issued until after the court resolves any appeals and grants final approval; timing is not guaranteed
- Your payment will arrive through whichever channel the original transaction consideration was delivered — ensure your brokerage or mailing address on file with the administrator is current
- The net fund is reduced by administration costs, taxes, attorneys' fees, and service awards before distribution
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.
