Funko Inc. $5.4 Million Securities Class Action Settlement
Court case: Lynch v. Mariotti, et al.
If you held Funko, Inc. Class A common stock at any time between November 2, 2017 and October 21, 2025, you're a class member in this $5.4 million Delaware Court of Chancery settlement (Lynch v. Mariotti, C.A. No. 2022-0051-NAC), which resolves claims that Funko's pre-IPO owners "double dipped" on tax distributions at Class A stockholders' expense. Payment is automatic and pro rata per share - no claim form needed. This is a non-opt-out class, so you cannot exclude yourself, though you may still object by June 15, 2026, ahead of the July 8, 2026 settlement hearing.

How hard is this claim to file?
Watch out for
- You cannot opt out of this settlement — it is a non-opt-out class under Delaware Court of Chancery Rules 23(b)(1) and 23(b)(2)
- Only shares held at the close of trading on October 21, 2025 count for payment calculation; shares sold before that date do not qualify
- Payment will not issue until after the court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved, which may take additional time after the fairness hearing
- Persons specifically excluded from the class will not receive payment even if they held qualifying shares
- If you held shares through a broker or nominee, confirm your account is still active and your contact details are current so the distribution can reach you
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.
