Capitalized terms not defined in the Claim Form have the meanings ascribed to them in the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement, dated July 15, 2024 (“Stipulation”), and in the Notice that accompanies the Claim Form.
It is important that you completely read and understand the accompanying Notice. The Notice describes the approved Settlement of the Action, how Class Members are affected by the approved Settlement, and the manner in which the Net Settlement Fund will be distributed as the Settlement and Plan of Allocation are approved by the Court. By signing and submitting the Claim Form, you will be certifying that you have read and understood the Notice, including the Releases described therein and provided for herein.
The Claim Form is directed to all members of the “Settlement Class” or “Class” defined below. The Class consists of the following, regardless of which state or country the person or entity may reside or be domiciled in:
all persons and entities other than defendants who held (of record or beneficially) common stock of Citrix Systems, Inc. at any time from March 8, 2022, up to and through September 30, 2022, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”).
Citrix’s common stock are “Citrix Securities.” All persons and entities that are members of the Class are “Class Members.”
Excluded from the Class are Defendants; members of their Immediate Families; any entity in which any Defendant had a controlling or partnership interest during the Settlement Class Period; any person who served as an Officer (as defined in the Stipulation) or Director of Citrix during the Settlement Class Period and the successors, heirs, and assigns of any excluded person. Also excluded from the Class are any persons or entities who or which exclude themselves by submitting a valid and timely request for exclusion from the Settlement Class in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Notice.
To be potentially eligible to recover from the Net Settlement Fund, you must complete and sign the Claim Form, and submit your Claim Form to the Claims Administrator as instructed below. If you fail to submit a properly completed and addressed Claim Form by the date specified below, your Claim may be rejected, and you may be precluded from receiving any recovery from the Net Settlement Fund created in connection with the Settlement of the Action.
Submission of the Claim Form, however, does not ensure that you will share in the Net Settlement Fund. The distribution of the Net Settlement Fund will be governed by the Plan of Allocation set forth in the Notice and approved by the Court.
YOU MUST MAIL OR SUBMIT YOUR COMPLETED AND SIGNED CLAIM FORM SO THAT IT IS POSTMARKED NO LATER THAN DECEMBER 17, 2024 TO THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS:
Juan A. Vargas v. Citrix Systems, Inc.
c/o JND Legal Administration PO Box 91498
Seattle, WA 98111
855-680-2526
ALTERNATIVELY, YOU MAY OBTAIN, COMPLETE, AND SUBMIT AN ELECTRONIC CLAIM BY 11:59 P.M. EST ON DECEMBER 17, 2024
To be considered timely, your Claim Form must be mailed by first-class mail and postmarked, or submitted electronically, by the deadline above. Unless your Claim Form is submitted with a postmark by first-class mail, it will be deemed to have been submitted when actually received by the Claims Administrator.
Use the Schedule of Transactions in the Claim Form to supply all required details of your transaction(s) (including free transfers and deliveries) in and holdings of Citrix Securities. On the schedule, please provide all of the requested information with respect to your holdings, purchases, acquisitions, and sales of Citrix Securities, regardless of whether such transactions resulted in a profit or a loss. Failure to report all transaction and holding information during the requested time period may result in the rejection of your Claim.
You must submit supporting documentation for the transactions reported in the Claim Form, such as broker confirmation slips, broker account statements, an authorized statement from your broker reporting information about your transactions, or other similar documents. Citrix and the Claims Administrator do not independently have information about your investments in Citrix securities. If such documents are not in your possession, please obtain copies or equivalent documents from your broker. Failure to supply this documentation may result in the rejection of your claim. DO NOT SEND ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS. Please keep a copy of all documents that you send to the Claims Administrator. Also, please do not highlight any portion of the Claim Form or any supporting documents.
Separate Claim Forms should be submitted for each separate legal entity (e.g., a Claim Form from joint owners should not include the transactions of just one of the joint owners, and an individual should not combine his or her IRA transactions with transactions made solely in the individual’s name). Conversely, a single Claim Form should be submitted on behalf of one legal entity that includes all transactions made by that entity, no matter how many separate accounts that entity has (e.g., a corporation with multiple brokerage accounts should include all transactions made in all accounts on one Claim Form).
All joint beneficial owners must each sign the Claim Form, and their names must appear in the Claimant Identification page of the Claim Form. If you purchased or otherwise acquired Citrix Securities during the Class Period and held Citrix Securities in your name, you are the beneficial owner as well as the record owner and you must sign the Claim Form to participate in the Settlement. If you purchased or otherwise acquired Citrix Securities during the Class Period for your own benefit, but any of your Citrix Securities was registered in the name of a third party, such as a nominee or brokerage firm, you are still the beneficial owner of these shares, but the third party is the record owner. The beneficial owner, not the record owner, must sign the Claim Form to be eligible to participate in the Settlement.
Agents, executors, administrators, guardians, and trustees must complete and sign the Claim Form on behalf of persons and entities represented by them, and they must:
- expressly state the capacity in which they are acting;
- identify the name, account number, Social Security Number (or taxpayer identification number), address and telephone number of the beneficial owner of (or other person or entity on whose behalf they are acting with respect to) Citrix Securities; and
- furnish evidence of their authority to bind to the Claim Form the person or entity on whose behalf they are acting. (Authority to complete and sign a Claim Form cannot be established by brokers demonstrating only that they have discretionary authority to trade securities in another person/entity’s accounts.)
By submitting the Claim Form, you will be making a request to share in the proceeds of the Settlement described in the Notice. If you are NOT a Class Member, or are excluded from the definition of the Class, or if you, or someone acting on your behalf, submitted a request for exclusion from the Class in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Notice, DO NOT submit a Claim Form. You may not, directly or indirectly, participate in the Settlement if you are not a Class Member. Thus, if you are excluded from the Class, any Claim Form that you submit, or that may be submitted on your behalf, will not be accepted.
If you are a Class Member and you did not request exclusion from the Class pursuant to the instructions set forth in the Notice, you will be bound by the terms of the Settlement and any orders or judgments entered in this Action, WHETHER OR NOT YOU SUBMIT A CLAIM FORM OR RECEIVE A PAYMENT.
NOTICE REGARDING INSTITUTIONAL FILERS: Representatives with the authority to file on behalf of (a) accounts of multiple persons/entities and/or (b) institutional accounts with large numbers of transactions (“Representative Filers”) must submit information regarding their clients’ transactions in the approved electronic spreadsheet format, which is available by request to the Claims Administrator at info@CitrixSystemsMergerSettlement.com or by visiting this website. One spreadsheet may contain the information for multiple persons/entities and institutional accounts who constitute distinct legal entities (“Legal Entities”), but all Representative Filers MUST also submit a manually signed Claim Form, as well as proof of authority to file along with the electronic spreadsheet. The transactions and holdings in Citrix common stock should be reported in the electronic file so that each resulting claim corresponds to a single Legal Entity, regardless of the number of individually managed accounts the Legal Entity has, as only one claim will be processed per Legal Entity (e.g., a Representative Filer reporting the transactions for a fund with multiple sub-accounts should report one total holding at the start of the Class Period, one total holding at the end of the Class Period, and a single set of transactions that includes all transactions made by the Legal Entity across their sub-accounts; this would constitute and be processed as a single claim). The Claims Administrator reserves the right to combine a Legal Entity’s accounts into a single claim prior to processing in the event that a Legal Entity’s accounts are divided across multiple claims when submitted by a Representative Filer. The Claims Administrator also reserves the right to request additional documentary proof regarding a Legal Entity’s transactions and holdings in Citrix common stock in order to prove and accurately process the claim.
NOTICE REGARDING ELECTRONIC FILES: Certain claimants with large numbers of transactions may request, or may be requested, to submit information regarding their transactions in electronic files. To obtain the mandatory electronic filing requirements and file layout, you may email the Claims Administrator’s electronic filing department at CTXSecurities@JNDLA.com. Any file not submitted in accordance with the required electronic filing format will be subject to rejection. No electronic files will be considered to have been properly submitted unless the Claims Administrator issues an email after processing your file with your claim number(s) and respective account information. Do not assume that your file has been received or processed until you receive this email. If you do not receive such an email within 10 days of your submission, you should contact the electronic filing department at CTXSecurities@JNDLA.com to inquire about your file and confirm it was received and acceptable.
If you have questions concerning the Claim Form or need additional copies of the Claim Form or the Notice, you may contact the Claims Administrator, JND Legal Administration, by writing to the above address, by calling the toll-free hotline at 855-680-2526 or by sending an email to info@CitrixSystemsMergerSettlement.com, or you may download the documents from the Important Documents page of this website.
PLEASE NOTE: YOUR CLAIM IS NOT DEEMED SUBMITTED UNTIL YOU RECEIVE AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT POSTCARD OR CONFIRMATION EMAIL. THE CLAIMS ADMINISTRATOR WILL ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF YOUR CLAIM FORM BY MAIL WITHIN 60 DAYS, OR BY CONFIRMATION EMAIL, IF THE CLAIM IS SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY. IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT POSTCARD OR CONFIRMATION EMAIL WITHIN 60 DAYS, PLEASE CONTACT THE CLAIMS ADMINISTRATOR.
