Who Was Eligible?

Who the settlement covered:

  • You purchased or acquired Danaher Corporation (DHR) securities during the applicable class period (exact dates to be confirmed via the official settlement notice)
  • You suffered a financial loss when the value of your Danaher shares declined
  • You are a U.S. resident or a foreign investor who purchased Danaher securities on a U.S. exchange
  • You have not previously opted out of this class action lawsuit
  • You are able to provide documentation of your Danaher stock transactions (such as brokerage statements or trade confirmations)

How Much Did It Pay?

The total settlement fund is $172.5 million, which will be distributed among all eligible claimants after deducting attorneys' fees, administrative costs, and other expenses. The exact amount each individual investor receives will depend on how many valid claims are filed, the number of shares you purchased, the price you paid, and how much you lost when the stock dropped — a calculation known as your 'recognized loss.' Because this is a securities settlement, larger investors who suffered greater losses will generally receive a larger payout. However, individual retail investors are absolutely encouraged to file — even smaller claims are worth submitting given the size of the total fund. Specific per-share payout amounts are typically determined after the claim deadline has passed and all submissions have been reviewed.
