The court approved the parties settlement of the plaintiffs’ claims in the amount of $1.4 million and entered a final judgment dismissing the class action claims with prejudice on November 6, 2023. The Company paid the amount to the escrow agent for the settlement on June 19, 2023.
We may in the future be involved in legal proceedings, claims, investigations and government inquires arising in the ordinary course of our business.
