Global consumers who bought CannTrust Holdings stock in either the secondary market or traceable to CannTrust’s May 6, 2019, secondary offering may be eligible for a payment thanks to an $83 million class action settlement.
Settlement Class Members include anyone who purchased or acquired common shares of CannTrust between June 1, 2018, and Sep. 17, 2019.
The Court defines the U.S. Settlement Class (U.S. Securities Claimants) as individuals who purchased CannTrust Holdings stock on the New York Stock Exchange or any U.S.-based trading platform between June 1, 2018, and March 31, 2020. Additionally, the U.S. Settlement Class includes individuals who purchased or acquired CannTrust Holdings common stock in connection with the secondary public offering on or about May 6, 2019.
Those who are not members of the U.S. Settlement Class may be a Canadian and Non-U.S. Securities Claimant. Per the settlement agreement, residency doesn’t determine whether the Class Member is a U.S. Securities Claimant or a Canadian and Non-U.S. Securities Claimant.
In their class action lawsuit, the plaintiff alleges the share price of CannTrust declined after July 8, 2019, when the company received a compliance report from Health Canada that explained how one greenhouse facility in Ontario was non-compliant with legal regulations. This report came as a result of observations by a regulator.
The class action lawsuit goes on to say the regulator saw cannabis growing in five unlicensed rooms and that the regulator was provided inaccurate information by CannTrust employees.
CannTrust offers both recreational and medical marijuana under the Liiv, Synr.g, and estora brands.
The company denies any wrongdoing but has participated in extensive negotiations with the plaintiff. Using a court-appointed mediator, both parties considered the costs, risks, and potential benefits of continuing to pursue the lawsuit. After careful consideration, both parties have agreed to an $83 million class action settlement.
Class Members who file a claim are eligible to receive a payment from the $83 million compensation fund.
The exact sum of each Class Member’s payment will hinge on the number of people who file a claim.
Class Members have the right to exclude themselves from or object to the Class by Nov. 11, 2021.
Class Members who do nothing will not get a payment, but they will still be bound by the settlement and give up the right to pursue future lawsuits regarding this matter.
The only way Class Members will receive a payment is if they file a timely claim.
The deadline to file a claim is March 16, 2022.
