Levi & Korsinsky, LLP and Pomerantz LLP announce that the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York has approved the following announcement of a proposed class action settlement that would benefit purchasers of Grab Holdings Limited securities (NASDAQ: GRAB) or Altimeter Growth Corp. securities (formerly NASDAQ: AGC):
SUMMARY NOTICE OF PENDENCY OF CLASS ACTION, PROPOSED CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT, FINAL APPROVAL HEARING, AND MOTION FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES
To: |
All persons and entities who: |
||
|
(i) |
purchased or otherwise acquired public shares in Grab (including by way of exchange of Altimeter Growth Corp. (“AGC”) shares) pursuant to or traceable to the proxy/registration statement that Grab filed with the SEC on Form F-4 on August 2, 2021, and that was thereafter amended on Forms F-4/A on September 13, 2021, October 18, 2021, November 12, 2021, November 17, 2021, and November 19, 2021, and incorporated into the final prospectus on Form 424(b)(3) filed on November 19, 2021, as amended (the “Proxy/Registration Statement”); |
|
|
(ii) |
who exchanged AGC shares for Grab Class A Ordinary Shares rather than redeeming the same pursuant to the Proxy/Registration Statement; or |
|
|
(iii) |
purchased or otherwise acquired public Grab Class A Ordinary Shares or other public Grab or AGC securities between August 2, 2021 and March 3, 2022, both dates inclusive. |
Excluded from the Settlement Class are: (a) Defendants and their immediate families; (b) current and former directors or officers of Grab or AGC; and (c) claims relating to the purchase or acquisition of Grab shares subject to a Lock-Up Agreement referenced in the Proxy/Registration Statement. To avoid doubt, the Settlement Class definition is intended to encompass claims of public AGC shareholders who purchased or otherwise acquired public Grab Class A Ordinary Shares as well as claims relating to the approximately 20.97% of Grab Class A Ordinary Shares that were not subject to a Lock-Up Agreement and became freely transferable on December 2, 2021, but is not intended to encompass claims of the PIPE Investors in their capacity as such or claims related to Grab shares acquired through the exchange of Sponsor shares. Also excluded from the Settlement Class are all putative members of the Settlement Class who exclude themselves by filing a valid and timely request for exclusion.
YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23 and an Order of the United States District Court for the District of Southern District of New York, that the Court-appointed Lead Plaintiffs, Si Fan, Amit Batra, and SLG Cloudbank Holdings, LLC (“Lead Plaintiffs”), on behalf of themselves and all members of the Settlement Class, and Brad Gerstner (“Gerstner”), Hab Siam (“Siam”), Richard N. Barton (“Barton”), Aishetu Fatima Dozie (“Dozie”), Dev Ittycheria (“Ittycheria”), Anthony Tan (“Tan”), Peter Oey (“Oey”), Tan Hooi Ling (“Ling”), John Rogers (“Rogers”), Dara Khosrowshahi (“Khosrowshahi”), Ng Shin Ein (“Ein”), Oliver Jay (“Jay”), and Grab Holdings Limited (“Grab” and, collectively, “Defendants”) have reached a proposed settlement of the claims in the above-captioned class action (the “Action”) in the amount of $80,000,000.00 (the “Settlement”). Lead Plaintiffs and Co-Lead Counsel estimate that if all affected Grab shares elect to participate in the Settlement, the average recovery per share could be approximately $0.1073, before deduction of any fees, expenses, costs, and awards as described in the Notice.
In exchange for the Settlement and the release of the Released Claims against the Released Defendant Parties, Defendants have agreed to create an $80,000,000 cash fund, which may accrue interest, to be distributed, after deduction of Court-awarded attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses, Notice and Administration Expenses, Taxes, and any other fees or expenses approved by the Court (the “Net Settlement Fund”), among all Settlement Class Members who submit valid Claim Forms and are found to be eligible to receive a distribution from the Net Settlement Fund (“Authorized Claimants”).
A hearing will be held before the Honorable Jennifer L. Rochon, on May 15, 2025, at 11:00 a.m., in Courtroom 20B of the Daniel Patrick Moynihan United States Courthouse, 500 Pearl Street, New York, NY 10007 (the “Settlement Hearing”) to, among other things, consider whether: (i) the Settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate, and should be approved; (ii) the proposed plan for allocating the proceeds of the Settlement (the “Plan of Allocation”) to Settlement Class Members is fair and reasonable and should be approved; and (iii) Co-Lead Counsel’s application for attorneys’ fees and expenses and Lead Plaintiffs’ awards are reasonable and should be approved. This Notice describes important rights you may have and what steps you must take if you wish to participate in the Settlement, object, or be excluded from the Settlement Class. The Court may change the date of the Settlement Hearing, or hold it telephonically or via videoconference, without providing another notice.
