so it appears everyone that bought following 2014 IPO is getting a packet for claim on the $75mil settlement

can someone dumb down how the claim eligibility and amount is structured? first off does it only apply to those who sold shares at some point?

Amount is structured thusly:

Lawyers will receive 99.5% of the settlement in cash.
The Plaintiffs will split the remaining 0.5% of the settlement in the form of coupon codes granting $5 off of a single eligible purchase of crap from China.

EDITED due to my inability to read...

You do need to submit the claim to be in the settlement payout.

Unless you have a massive position, it isn't worth excluding yourself or objecting.

Do you have brokerage statements or records from 2014/2015?

If they have your info correct, I wouldn't worry about submitting info.

Sit back, hope a check comes some day.
you do need to file a claim and submit proof of purchase/ownership I got that much from it

It is unknown at this time.

If approved, looks like payout after attorney fees and expenses will be around $50,000,000. Right now they don't know how many ADS (shares) will be in the pool to spread that across.

I haven't looked up how many shares were outstanding back then, but assuming 1 billion and 50% of shares are in the settlement, that would be $0.10/full share. I could be off by hundreds of millions of shares and it won't change the payout much if you don't have a big position.

They won't send a check if a payout is less than $10.

Wouldn't it depend on how many shares are actually submitted claims?
