Beijing-based Luckin Coffee (OTC: LKNCY), which is currently in provisional liquidation, announced Tuesday that it has entered into a binding term sheet with the plaintiffs to settle the U.S. Securities Class Action litigation.
The term sheet will fully resolve claims that have been or could be filed on behalf of a class of purchasers of the company’s American Depositary Shares between May 17, 2019, through July 15, 2020.
The Chinese coffee chain said the settlement amount will be calculated based on a Global Settlement Amount of $187.5 million, which will be reduced on a pro-rata basis.
