How do I know if I am part of the Settlement Class?

For the purposes of settlement, everyone who fits the following description is a Settlement Class Member. Please read Question Number 6 in the Notice for exceptions to inclusion in the Settlement Class.

All persons who purchased or otherwise acquired common stock or options to purchase common stock of Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated during the Settlement Class Period, August 2, 2017 to January 31, 2019, inclusive.


How much will my payment be?

Defendants have paid or will pay $14 million in cash into an escrow account that will earn interest, as provided for in the Stipulation, for the benefit of the Settlement Class (the “Settlement Fund”). After deduction of Taxes, Notice and Administration Costs, Litigation Expenses, attorneys’ fees, any award to Lead Plaintiff for its costs and expenses, and any other costs, expenses or amounts as may be approved by the Court, the balance (the “Net Settlement Fund”) will be distributed to the Settlement Class Members in accordance with the Plan of Allocation, discussed in the Notice.


The Settlement Hearing

The Final Approval Hearing will be held at 10:00 a.m. on June 6, 2024, before the Honorable Judge James Donato, United States District Court for the Northern District of California, either via telephonic or video conference, or in Courtroom 11, 19th Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102.

At this hearing, the Court will consider whether the Settlement is fair, reasonable and adequate; whether the proposed plan to distribute the Settlement proceeds (the “Plan of Allocation” described in the Notice) is reasonable; whether to approve the application by Lead Counsel for attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of Litigation Expenses, and whether to approve the request for an award to Lead Plaintiff for its costs and expenses. If there are objections, the Court will consider them. The Court has discretion to listen to people who have made a written request to speak at the hearing. After the hearing, the Court will decide whether to approve the Settlement, the attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of Litigation Expenses request, and the request for an award to Lead Plaintiff for its costs and expenses. We do not know how long these decisions will take.

THE FINAL APPROVAL HEARING DATE MAY CHANGE WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE TO THE SETTLEMENT CLASS, SO PLEASE CHECK THE SETTLEMENT WEBSITE OR THE COURT’S PACER SYSTEM TO CONFIRM THE HEARING DATE.
