This is a security class action (the "Action") that was brought by investors alleging, among other things, that Defendants violated the federal securities laws by making false and misleading statements and omitting material information about GM’s product warranty and recall liabilities, internal controls and commitment to safety.
Lead Plaintiff New York State Teachers’ Retirement System, on behalf of itself and the Settlement Class, as defined in the Notice, achieved a settlement of the Action for $300,000,000 in cash (the “Settlement”) resolving all claims in the Action. The Claim Filing Deadline for the Settlement was April 27, 2016.
On May 19, 2016, the Court entered an Opinion and Order approving the Settlement as fair, reasonable and adequate, approving the Plan of Allocation, and awarding attorneys’ fees and expenses.
On June 13, 2016, a class member who had objected to the approval of the Settlement in the District Court appealed the judgment approving the Settlement. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals denied that appeal on November 27, 2017. The objector filed a petition for certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court and, on October 29, 2018, the Supreme Court denied the objector’s petition, resolving the appeal.
Following the resolution of the appeal, Lead Plaintiff filed a motion with the District Court for approval of the proposed Distribution Plan. The Court approved that motion on May 21, 2019.
On July 31, 2019 the Claims Administrator began mailing checks to Settlement Class Members who had submitted eligible claims pursuant to the Court’s Order Approving Distribution Plan.
