Walgreens Securities Litigation

All persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Walgreens common stock between April 17, 2014 and August 5, 2014, inclusive and were damaged thereby.

The information contained on this website is only a summary of the information presented in more detail in the Notice of (I) Proposed Settlement; (II) Settlement Hearing; and (III) Motion for Attorneys’ Fees and Litigation Expenses (“Settlement Notice”), which you can access by clicking here. Since this website is just a summary, you should review the Settlement Notice for additional details.

Please be advised that Court-appoint Class Representative Industriens Pensionsforsikring A/S, on behalf of itself and the Class, and Walgreen Co. (“Walgreens”), Gregory D. Wasson, and Wade D. Miquelon (collectively, “Defendants”) have reached a proposed settlement of the Action for $105,000,000 in cash (“Settlement”). The Settlement is subject to approval by the Court.

The Class consists of:

All persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Walgreens common stock between April 17, 2014 and August 5, 2014, inclusive, and were damaged thereby.

Excluded from the Class are: (i) any Defendant in the Action; (ii) the officers and directors of Walgreens; (iii) members of the immediate families of the individual Defendants in the Action; (iv) any entity in which any Defendants has or had a controlling interest; and (v) the legal representative, heirs, successors, or assigns of any such excluded party. Also excluded from the Class are the persons and entities that submitted a request for exclusion in connection with Class Notice, as set forth on Appendix 1 to the Stipulation.

If you are a member of the Class, your legal rights will be affected whether you act or do not act. Please read the Settlement Notice to fully understand your rights and options.

If you are a member of the Class, in order to be potentially eligible to receive a payment from the Settlement, you must submit a Claim Form (with the required supporting documentation) postmarked (if mailed), or online via this website, no later than November 5, 2022.

Payments to eligible claimants will be made only after approval of the Settlement and the completion of all claims processing. Please be patient, as this process will take some time to complete.

Please read the Settlement Notice carefully. If you have questions, you may call the Walgreens Securities Litigation Help Line at 1-866-963-9976 or email info@WalgreensSecuritiesLitigation.com.

DO NOTHING.

If you are a member of the Class and you do not submit a valid Claim, you will not be eligible to receive any payment from the Settlement Fund. You will, however, remain a member of the Class, which means that you give up any right you may have to sue about the claims that are resolved by the Settlement and you will be bound by any judgments or orders entered by the Court in the Action. If you have not excluded yourself in connection with Class Notice, you may not do so now as the Court has found that a second exclusion opportunity is unnecessary in light of the broad notice campaign conducted in connection with Class Notice, as well as the fact that the statute of repose has since run, thereby prohibiting anyone who currently desires to exclude themselves from bringing their own claims at this time.
