Who Is Eligible?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you:
- You purchased or acquired Zymergen Inc. (ticker: ZY) common stock or other securities during the applicable class period
- You suffered a financial loss as a result of the decline in Zymergen's stock price
- You are a U.S. or international investor who held shares during the relevant period (securities settlements typically cover all shareholders, not just U.S.-based ones)
- You did not opt out of the class action lawsuit prior to any court-set exclusion deadline
- You have documentation of your Zymergen stock purchases and sales, such as brokerage statements or trade confirmations
How Much Can You Get?
The total settlement fund is $125 million, which is a significant recovery for investors. The exact amount each eligible claimant receives will depend on several factors, including how many shares you purchased, the prices at which you bought and sold, and how many total valid claims are submitted. Typically in securities settlements, payouts are calculated using a "plan of allocation" that assigns a recognized loss per share based on when shares were purchased and sold relative to alleged disclosure events. Specific per-share recovery amounts and the final payout formula have not yet been publicly confirmed. Once the court approves a plan of allocation, those details will be made available. The more valid claims that are filed, the more the fund is divided — so filing early and accurately is important.How to File Your Claim
