How hard is this claim to file?

The claims filing deadline has passed and the distribution has already been sent to eligible claimants who purchased GDS Holdings Limited American Depositary Shares on NASDAQ during the class period. No further action is available for new claimants.

Watch out for

  • The claims filing deadline has passed and the administrator has already distributed funds — no new claims can be accepted
  • Only purchasers of GDS ADS on NASDAQ during the specific class period are eligible; other GDS securities or transactions outside that window do not qualify
  • If you excluded yourself from the class before the exclusion deadline, you are not entitled to any settlement payment

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.
