What is the HP Securities Settlement about?
The lawsuit claims HP Inc. and certain executives misled investors, allegedly inflating HP’s stock price. Without admitting liability, Defendants agreed to resolve the case for $39 million.
Do I have to do anything to get paid?
Yes. You must submit a Proof of Claim with supporting documentation by January 12, 2026. If you do nothing, you will forfeit any payment but remain bound by the Court’s judgment.
Can I exclude myself from the HP Securities Settlement?
You may request exclusion (opt-out) by sending a written request postmarked no later than December 22, 2025. Opt-outs receive no money but retain the right to sue the Defendants separately.
How will my payment be calculated?
The Claims Administrator will apply the Court-approved Plan of Allocation, which factors in when and at what price you bought or sold HP shares during the Class Period.
When will payments be sent?
Payments follow Court approval, resolution of any appeals, and processing of all claims—often 9–12 months or more after the claim deadline. Patience is required.
Who represents the Class?
