Proposed Settlement Overview
A significant development emerged from the United States District Court for the Northern District of California regarding
Talis Biomedical Corporation. Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP, representing the plaintiffs, has proposed a settlement in the ongoing securities litigation connected to Talis Biomedical’s initial public offering (IPO) conducted on February 11, 2021.
Background of the Case
The litigation, designated as case number
22-cv-00105-SI, encompasses all individuals or entities that purchased Talis’s common stock during the period from
February 11, 2021, to
August 11, 2021. The claim centers around allegations of misinformation provided during the IPO, which purportedly resulted in losses for investors.
Details of the Settlement
Under the proposed settlement, Talis Biomedical would pay a total of
$32.5 million in cash to resolve all claims against it. The settlement hearing will occur on
March 14, 2025, where the presiding judge,
Susan Illston, will oversee proceedings to determine if the settlement is fair and reasonable. This could lead to class certification for the settlement and possible dismissal of the litigation, provided all conditions are satisfied.
What Investors Need to Know
Affected parties wishing to partake in the distribution of the settlement funds must submit a valid
Proof of Claim. This can be done online or via mail, but submissions must be postmarked no later than
March 13, 2025. The court has cautioned that failing to submit this form in a timely manner could result in a forfeiture of claim to any funds from the settlement.
Opting Out and Objecting
Investors who do not wish to be part of the settlement class must submit an
exclusion request by
February 21, 2025. Conversely, any objections regarding the proposed settlement, its allocations, or attorney fees must also be lodged by this deadline. Objections need to be directed to the court rather than the parties involved in the case.
Conclusion
This proposed settlement marks a pivotal moment for Talis Biomedical and affected shareholders, aiming to restore investor confidence following the IPO's tumultuous aftermath. Stakeholders and class members must stay informed about key deadlines and required actions to ensure their rights are preserved in this ongoing class action litigation.
