WHAT IS THE LEAD PLAINTIFF DEADLINE IN THE DOLLAR GENERAL CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT?

When a securities class action is filed such as the Dollar General class action lawsuit, the person who files the first complaint is required to publish a notice announcing the filing. Anyone who wants to be lead plaintiff on behalf of the class in the Dollar General class action lawsuit must thereafter file a motion to be appointed as lead plaintiff(s) no later than 60 days after the notice was published.

WHAT ARE MY CHOICES IF I RECEIVE A NOTICE IN THE DOLLAR GENERAL CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT?

First, read the notice very carefully. You have two choices. First, you can do nothing and remain a member of the class represented by lead counsel. Second, if you believe you have a large enough loss to justify it, you can opt out of the Dollar General class action lawsuit and file your own separate lawsuit. Note, that if you opt out, you will not be able to participate in any settlement or recovery obtained in the Dollar General class action lawsuit.

CAN A NON-U.S. INVESTOR SERVE AS LEAD PLAINTIFF IN THE DOLLAR GENERAL CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT?

Yes, courts in the U.S. have consistently recognized that non-U.S. investors, many of whom have substantial holdings, are adequate lead plaintiffs and have the same right to move for lead plaintiffs as U.S. investors. Thus, if a non-U.S. investor suffered losses in Dollar General stock, they may move the Court to be appointed lead plaintiff in the Dollar General class action lawsuit.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SERVING AS LEAD PLAINTIFF IN THE DOLLAR GENERAL CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT?

Serving as a Lead Plaintiff in the Dollar General class action lawsuit has several advantages and important benefits including:

A Lead Plaintiff is able to negotiate more competitive attorney fees and reduce other litigation costs by actively monitoring the class counsel.
Lead Plaintiff has the benefit of being able to manage the litigation primarily by overseeing and monitoring the progress of the action and the efforts of counsel, and being able to review and comment on important filings and other documents pertaining to the prosecution of the action.
There is no financial risk in serving as a Lead Plaintiff because Lead Counsel advances all costs and expenses incurred in the prosecution of the case and will be reimbursed only if there is a successful settlement or judgment recovery on behalf of the class.
Lead Plaintiff has the benefit of being involved and active in all negotiations relating to any settlement.
Lead Plaintiffs that continue owning the stock of the defendant will enjoy the long-term benefits from governance reform resulting from the litigation.

Thus, there are numerous benefits and other advantages to serving as lead plaintiff in a class action against Dollar General if you suffered significant losses in Dollar General stock.
