 of organic growth described above. The defendants who were not dismissed were the Company, Joe Papa, and Judy Brown. The claims (described above) that were not dismissed in 2018 related to the integration issue regarding the Omega acquisition, the defense against the Mylan tender offer, and the alleged price fixing activities with respect to six generic prescription pharmaceuticals. The defendants who remained in the case (us, Mr. Papa, and Ms. Brown) filed answers denying liability. On November 14, 2019, the court granted the lead plaintiffs’ motion and certified three classes for the case: (i) all those who purchased shares between April 21, 2015 through May 2, 2017 inclusive on a U.S. exchange and were damaged thereby; (ii) all those who purchased shares between April 21, 2015 through May 2, 2017 inclusive on the Tel Aviv exchange and were damaged thereby; and (iii) all those who owned shares as of November 12, 2015 and held such stock through at least 8:00 a.m. on November 13, 2015 (whether or not a person tendered shares in response to the Mylan tender offer) (the "tender offer class"). Plaintiffs' counsels sent notices during 2020 to the alleged classes. The parties took discovery from 2018 through 2020. After discovery ended, defendants filed motions for summary judgement and to exclude plaintiffs' experts, which were fully briefed. On August 17, 2023, the court granted summary judgment to Ms. Brown on all claims and dismissed her from the case; the court granted summary judgment in part to Mr. Papa terminating the claim against him that he made false statements with respect to alleged collusive pricing at the Generic Rx business. The court did not grant summary judgment on statements made about the integration of Omega during 2015. Thereafter, parties engaged in court-ordered settlement conferences.On April 5, 2024, the class plaintiffs filed papers seeking Court approval of a settlement between the alleged classes and the defendants for $97.0 million. Perrigo and the remaining individual defendant agreed to the proposed settlement without any concession of liability or wrongdoing. We recorded an additional loss provision of $34.0 million during the first quarter as a result of the pending settlement. In May 2024, the Company funded the $97.0 million to an escrow account controlled by class counsel under the Court supervision
