- Leading settlement discussions: Lead plaintiffs participate in mediation and settlement discussions and must approve any settlement before it is presented to the court.
- No financial risk: In most cases, no financial risk, as lead counsel covers all costs and expenses. They work on a contingency basis are only paid if they secure a settlement or judgment, and reimbursement for expenses comes from the settlement fund, not your personal assets.

It is crucial to note that both domestic and international investors who meet these criteria are eligible to seek appointment as the lead plaintiff in the class action lawsuit, as courts have consistently recognized the rights of non-U.S. investors in securities class actions.
The Class Period in a Securities Class Action
In a securities class action, such as the KBR class action lawsuit,:
- The class period refers to the specific time frame during which the alleged fraudulent activity occurred. It is the period in which the plaintiffs claim to have suffered financial losses due to misrepresentations or omissions made by the defendants.
- The class period is crucial in determining who can be included in the class and seek damages.
- It typically starts when the alleged fraud was first publicly disclosed or when investors should have reasonably become aware of it.
- The class period usually ends when the alleged fraud is revealed to the public or when the plaintiffs file a lawsuit.
- The length of the class period can vary depending on the specific circumstances of each case.
What Damages Am I Entitled To?
In a securities fraud case, the plaintiff’s damages are typically calculated as out-of-pocket losses.
- These losses are expressed as the difference between:
- The price at which the stock was sold and the price at which the stock would have been sold absent any artificial inflation caused by the defendant’s alleged misrepresentations or omissions.
Options Available to Shareholders
Shareholders in a securities class action lawsuit can choose to join the class action and receive a portion of the settlement, or they can “opt out” to pursue an independent, direct action against the company.
Options also include selling the right to a recovery, and, in some cases, investors may be able to influence the lawsuit by voting on certain proposals, although the latter is less common and not always an option.
- Join the KBR class action lawsuit.:
- This is the default option for eligible investors.
- What it is: You are included in the lawsuit and share in the recovery from a settlement.
- Considerations: Recovery can be small (average of about 2% of losses), and payouts can take a long time due to the length of the class action and claims administration process.
- Opt out of the KBR class action lawsuit.:
- This allows you to pursue a direct, individual claim.
- What it is: You are no longer part of the class and are not bound by the class action’s settlement or outcome.
- Sell the claim:
- It is possible to sell your right to the class action settlement recovery.
- What it is: You can transfer the right to the future payout to a third party in exchange for a smaller, immediate payment.
- Considerations: This can provide immediate liquidity, but you will not receive any money from the class action settlement.
- Vote on proposals (less common):
- In some instances, shareholders may have the opportunity to vote on proposals related to the class action.
- What it is: These are typically “ex ante” proposals before a lawsuit is filed or “ex post” proposals after a lawsuit is filed.
- Considerations: The ability to vote is not guaranteed and depends on the specific circumstances of the lawsuit and the company.
Steps in the KBR Class Action Lawsuit
- Filing the Complaint: A lead plaintiff files a lawsuit on behalf of similarly affected shareholders, detailing the allegations against the company.
- Motion to Dismiss: Defendants typically file a motion to dismiss, arguing the complaint lacks sufficient claims.
- Discovery: If the motion to dismiss is denied, both parties gather evidence, documents, emails, and witness testimonies. This phase can be extensive.
- Motion for Class Certification: Plaintiffs request the court to certify the lawsuit as a class action. The court assesses factors like the number of plaintiffs, commonality of claims, typicality of claims, and the adequacy of the proposed class representation.
- Summary Judgment and Trial: Once the class is certified, the parties may file motions for summary judgment. If the case is not settled, it proceeds to trial, which is rare for securities class actions.
- Settlement Negotiations and Approval: Most cases are resolved through settlements, negotiated between the parties, often with the help of a mediator. The court must review and grant preliminary approval to ensure the settlement is fair, adequate, and reasonable.
- Class Notice: If the court grants preliminary approval, notice of the settlement is sent to all class members, often by mail, informing them about the terms and how to file a claim.
- Final Approval Hearing: The court conducts a final hearing to review any objections and grant final approval of the settlement.
- Claims Administration and Distribution: A court-appointed claims administrator manages the process of sending notices, processing claims from eligible class members, and distributing the settlement funds. The distribution is typically on a pro-rata basis based on recognized losses.
