A brief background of the Action is provided on page 2 of the Notice and is also summarized on the website homepage. We do not have any more information regarding the background of this Action beyond what is provided in the Notice and posted court documents.
A class action is a type of lawsuit in which one or several individuals or entities prosecute claims on behalf of all members of a group of similarly-situated persons and entities (i.e., the Class) to obtain monetary or other relief for the benefit of the entire group. Class actions avoid the necessity of each member of a class having to file his, her, or its own separate lawsuit to obtain relief. Class actions are used to decide legal and factual issues that are common to all members of a class. Importantly, class members are NOT individually responsible for the attorneys’ fees or litigation expenses. In a class action, attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses are paid from the settlement fund (or the court judgment amount), if any, and must be approved by the Court. If there is no recovery, the attorneys representing the Class do not get paid.
The Court has not decided in favor of the Class Representative or Defendants. The litigation is ongoing. To date, there has been no recovery of any money for the Class.
The "Class,” as certified by the Court, consists of: All persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Exxon Mobil Corporation common stock between February 24, 2016, and October 28, 2016, inclusive (“Class Period”).
Excluded from the Class are Defendants and their families, the officers and directors of ExxonMobil, at all relevant times, members of their immediate families and their legal representatives, heirs, successors or assigns, and any entity in which Defendants had a controlling interest.
