How hard is this claim to file?

You must submit a Proof of Claim and Release form — doing nothing means you receive no payment and lose your right to sue. You will need brokerage records proving your Hortonworks stock transactions and holdings during the class period.

Documents you'll need

Watch out for

  • Submitting the form without supporting documentation will likely result in rejection — brokerage records are required
  • If you exclude yourself from the settlement, you cannot also file a claim or object
  • Doing nothing means you receive no payment AND you give up your rights to sue the released parties

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.
