What is this case about?
The Action involves allegations that Defendants violated certain federal securities laws by making misrepresentations or omissions of material fact concerning Blue Apron’s business, operational, and compliance policies. The Amended Class Action Complaint (“Complaint”) alleges that once true facts were disclosed, Blue Apron’s share price plummeted. Defendants have denied and continue to deny each, any, and all allegations of wrongdoing, fault, liability, or damage whatsoever asserted in the Action. The Settlement shall in no event be construed as, or deemed to be evidence of, liability, fault, wrongdoing, injury, or damages, or of any wrongful conduct, acts, or omissions on the part of any of the Released Parties, or of any infirmity of any defense, or of any damages to the Plaintiffs or any other Settlement Class Member. The Settlement resolves all of the claims in the Action, as well as certain other claims or potential claims, whether known or unknown.
The Settlement Benefits
The Settlement, if approved, will result in the creation of a cash settlement fund of $13,250,000 (the “Settlement Amount”). The Settlement Amount, plus accrued interest (the “Settlement Fund”) and minus the costs of this Notice and all costs associated with the administration of the Settlement, as well as any attorneys’ fees and expenses that may be approved by the Court (the “Net Settlement Fund”), will be distributed to Class Members pursuant to the Plan of Allocation that is described in the next section of this Notice.
