Do I Have To Join The Class Action?
All investors have the right to opt out of a securities class action lawsuit. There are several reasons why opting out may be in an investor’s best interests, including:
- Having unique circumstances that set their claim apart from the rest of the class
- Believing they have a stronger claim for additional damages
- Gaining the opportunity to settle separately on their own terms, rather than being beholden to the terms of the class action settlement
Do I Need To Maintain Ownership Of My Stock To Remain A Class Member?
As a rule, you can sell the security in question and still maintain membership in the class. If you sell the security for a loss, you can still recover a share of the recovery. However, if the sale results in a gain, your share of the class will be excluded since there are no losses to recover. It is a good idea to speak with a lawyer before conducting any transactions that could ultimately threaten your ability to recover damages.
