Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM) Investors: Understanding Your Potential Recovery Options Under Federal Securities Laws
Newmont Corporation (Newmont), a leading global gold producer, has recently found itself at the center of a securities class action lawsuit. The lawsuit alleges that Newmont and certain of its executives made false and misleading statements to the public regarding the company’s mineral reserves and resource estimates. If you are an affected investor, this article aims to provide you with essential information about the ongoing lawsuit and the potential recovery options available under federal securities laws.
Background of the Lawsuit
The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleges that Newmont and certain executives violated the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by making materially false and misleading statements regarding the company’s mineral reserves and resource estimates. The lawsuit seeks to recover damages for investors who purchased Newmont’s securities between January 28, 2020, and November 16, 2022.
Potential Recovery Options for Investors
If the allegations in the lawsuit are proven true, affected investors may be eligible to recover their losses through a securities class action settlement or by pursuing individual securities arbitration. The process for recovering losses in a securities class action settlement typically involves the following steps:
- Certification of the Class: The court must first certify the class of investors who are eligible to participate in the settlement.
- Negotiation of the Settlement: The parties involved in the lawsuit typically engage in settlement negotiations, which may result in a monetary settlement.
- Settlement Approval: The settlement must be approved by the court and the class members.
Individual securities arbitration, on the other hand, is a separate process where an affected investor may file a claim against Newmont with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). This process allows the investor to pursue recovery of their losses directly, without being part of a class action.
