Geron Securities Litigation

Lead Plaintiffs and Class Representatives, Julia Junge and Richard Junge, on behalf of themselves and the Class (defined below), have reached a proposed settlement of the Action that, if approved, will resolve all claims in the Action.

If you are a member of the Class (a “Class Member”), your rights will be affected and you may be eligible for a payment from the Settlement. The certified Class consists of:

all persons who purchased Geron common stock during the period from March 19, 2018, to September 26, 2018, inclusive (the “Class Period”), and who were damaged thereby.

If you are a member of the Class, in order to be potentially eligible to receive a payment under the proposed settlement, you have to submit a Claim Form no later than July 14, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. PST. Payments to Authorized Claimants will be made only if the Court approves the Settlement and the Plan of Allocation, and only 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.
