Arrow Financial Corporation Securities Settlement

If you purchased or acquired securities of Arrow Financial Corporation between August 6, 2022, and May 12, 2023, you may be eligible to claim a portion of an $850,000 class action settlement.

Arrow Financial Corporation has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit alleging misrepresentations and omissions related to its disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting.

Who Can File a Claim?

To be considered a class member eligible for compensation, you must meet the following criteria:

• Purchased or otherwise acquired Arrow securities between August 6, 2022, and May 12, 2023.
• Suffered losses

How Much Can Class Members Get?

The settlement fund of $850,000 will be distributed among eligible class members. The estimated average recovery per allegedly damaged security is $0.35 before deductions for fees and expenses.

However, the actual amount received by each class member may vary based on several factors:

• The number of claims filed.
• The dates and prices of their transactions.
• The total number of valid claims submitted.

The distribution will be based on a pro rata calculation, meaning each class member's share will be proportional to their recognized loss compared to the total recognized losses of all claimants.

Is Proof Required to Submit a Claim?

Yes, claimants need to provide proof of their transactions involving Arrow securities during the Settlement Class Period. This includes:

• Stockbroker confirmation slips.
