If you purchased or acquired NBA Top Shot Moments between June 15, 2020, and December 27, 2021, you may be eligible to claim an award from a class action settlement.
Dapper Labs, Inc. has agreed to pay $4,000,000 to settle a class action lawsuit for allegedly promoting, offering, and selling unregistered securities in the form of NBA Top Shot Moments.
Who Can Claim an Award?
To be eligible to claim an award, you must have purchased or acquired NBA Top Shot Moments during the Settlement Class Period, which spans from June 15, 2020, to December 27, 2021.
This includes any Moments purchased directly from the company or in the secondary market.
What Awards Can Class Members Claim?
The Settlement Fund is $4,000,000, which will be distributed to Class Members after deducting attorneys' fees, litigation expenses, and administrative costs. The estimated average recovery is $0.12 per Moment, but this is not a guarantee of the actual amount you will receive.
The actual recovery will depend on several factors, including:
- The total number of claims filed by Class Members.
- The dates you purchased and sold Moments.
- The prices at which you bought and sold Moments.
Here is a detailed breakdown of the awards:
- Moments purchased directly from the Company: The Recognized Claim will be the total amount paid to the Company for the Moments purchased.
- Moments purchased in the secondary market: The Recognized Claim will be 5% of the total amount paid for the Moments purchased.
For example, if you purchased Moments directly from the Company for $100, your Recognized Claim will be $100. If you purchased Moments in the secondary market for $100, your Recognized Claim will be $5.
