Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Seagate securities class action settlement about?
Investors alleged that Seagate Technology Holdings plc and certain executives misled the market about the scale of hard disk drive sales to Huawei in violation of U.S. export laws, and that Seagate's profitability depended heavily on those sales. The settlement creates a $175 million cash fund to resolve the claims without an admission of wrongdoing.

What if I sold my Seagate shares before March 7, 2022?
Under the proposed Plan of Allocation, any shares sold before the close of trading on March 7, 2022 have a Recognized Loss Amount of $0.00. That cutoff can silently disqualify an otherwise timely claim even if you bought during the class period, so check your sale dates carefully before filing.
