WELCOME TO THE TUSIMPLE SECURITIES SETTLEMENT WEBSITE
The information contained on this website is only a summary of the information presented in more detail in the Notice of Pendency and Proposed Settlement of Class Action (“Notice”). Because this website is just a summary, you should review the Notice for additional details.
Summary of the Action and Settlement
This website relates to a proposed settlement of a class action lawsuit (“Litigation”) brought by Indiana Public Retirement System, Robert Miller, and Michelle Poirier (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) against TuSimple Holdings, Inc. (“TuSimple” or the “Company”), Guowei “Charles” Chao, Xiaodi Hou, Mo Chen, Bonnie Yi Zhang, Cheng Lu, Patrick Dillon, Brad Buss, Karen C. Francis, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., Cowen and Company, LLC, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Nomura Securities International, Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Needham & Company, LLC, Oppenheimer & Co., Inc., Piper Sandler & Co., Robert W. Baird & Co., and Valuable Capital Limited (collectively, “Defendants”), alleging that Defendants violated the federal securities laws by making false statements and omissions of material facts during the Class Period (i.e., the period between April 15, 2021 and December 20, 2022, inclusive) which had the effect of artificially inflating the trading prices of TuSimple common stock and call options and artificially deflating the trading price of TuSimple put options. Defendants deny the allegations and any liability or wrongdoing of any kind.
The Court has not decided in favor of Defendants or Plaintiffs. Instead, both sides have agreed to a settlement of the Litigation for $189 million in cash (“Settlement”) for the benefit of the Settlement Class. On December 2, 2024, the Court will hold a Settlement Hearing to consider final approval of the Settlement and related matters.
If you are a member of the Settlement Class, you are subject to the Settlement. The Settlement Class consists of:
All Persons who purchased and/or otherwise acquired TuSimple securities between April 15, 2021 and December 20, 2022, inclusive.
Excluded from the Settlement Class are: (i) Defendants and members of their immediate families; (ii) current and former officers and directors of TuSimple and members of their immediate families; (iii) any entity in which any Defendant has a controlling interest or which is related to or affiliated with any Defendant; (iv) TuSimple’s subsidiaries and affiliates or other entities owned or controlled by it; (v) the legal representatives, heirs, successors, or assigns of each Defendant; and (vi) any Persons who properly exclude themselves by submitting a valid and timely request for exclusion.
Please read the Notice to fully understand your rights and options. Copies of the Notice and Proof of Claim and Release can be found in the Case Documents and File Claim tabs at the top of this page.
Payments to eligible claimants will be made only if the Court approves the Settlement and Plan of Allocation, after any appeals are resolved, and after the completion of all claims processing. Please be patient, as this process will take some time to complete.
