Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corp. $8.8M Settlement
If you owned Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corp. (DCRB) Class A common stock on July 13 2021 and did not redeem all of your shares, you could receive a cash payment from an $8.8 million class action settlement. Payments will be distributed pro rata after court approval, so act now to protect your share—file a claim by October 14 2025.
Who is Eligible?
You are part of the settlement class if you:
- Held Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corp. Class A common stock as of July 13 2021;
- Did not redeem every share on or before that date; and
- Are the record or beneficial owner (or heir, successor, transferee, or assign) of those shares.
Both individuals and entities qualify. Shares held through a broker or nominee count as beneficial ownership.
Potential Cash Payment
Each claimant will receive a pro rata share of the net settlement fund after court-approved deductions for administration costs, attorneys’ fees, and service awards. Your payment depends on:
- The number of valid claims submitted;
- The number of shares you still held—and, if sold, when and at what price;

Note: Claims valued under $10 will not be paid.
