What is this Action about?
The Action alleges that Defendants violated the federal securities laws by making materially false and misleading statements regarding Natera’s revenue performance and growth. The Action further alleges that once the relevant truth regarding Defendants’ alleged misstatements was revealed, the price of Natera common stock dropped, damaging Class members. Defendants deny the allegations of wrongdoing asserted in the Action and deny any liability whatsoever to any member of the Class.
Remaining a Class Member
If you are a Class member and choose to remain a member of the Class, you will be bound by all past, present, and future orders and judgments in the Action, whether favorable or unfavorable to you. If any money is awarded to the Class, either through a settlement with Defendants or a judgment of the Court after a trial and appeals, you may be eligible to receive a share of that award. However, if you remain a member of the Class, you may not pursue a lawsuit on your own behalf with regard to any of the issues in the Action. Pursuant to Rule 23(e)(4), it is within the Court’s discretion whether to allow a second opportunity to request exclusion from the Class if there is a settlement. Please note that if you remain a member of the Class, you will not be personally responsible for Plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees or costs. Class Counsel have agreed to represent the Class on a contingent fee basis, which means that they will be awarded fees and costs, as approved by the Court, only if they succeed in obtaining a recovery from one or more Defendants. Any attorneys’ fees and costs for Plaintiffs’ counsel will be awarded by the Court from the settlement or judgment, if any, obtained on behalf of the Class. As a member of the Class, you will be represented by Class Counsel. Alternatively, you may remain a member of the Class and elect to be represented by counsel of your own choosing. If you do retain separate counsel, you will be responsible for that attorney’s fees and expenses and that attorney must enter an appearance on your behalf by filing a Notice of Appearance with the Court and mailing it to Class Counsel at the address set forth in paragraph 30 of the Notice on or before June 9, 2026.
Requesting Exclusion from the Class
If you are a Class member and choose to be excluded from the Class, you will not be bound by any orders or judgments in this Action, nor will you be eligible to share in any recovery that might be obtained in this Action. You will retain any right you have to individually pursue any legal rights that you may have against any Defendants with respect to the claims asserted in the Action and Defendants retain all of their defenses to your claims. Please note, if you decide to exclude yourself from the Class, you may be time-barred from asserting all or a portion of the claims covered by the Action. Class Counsel offer no advice and no opinion on whether you will be able to maintain such claims. Please refer to paragraphs 24-27 of the Notice if you would like to request exclusion from the Class.
