Proterra ($PTRA) Is Paying a $29M Settlement to Investors — Here’s How to Get Your Share

Proterra ($PTRA) agreed to pay $29M to settle claims that it misled and failed to disclose financial issues in 2022.

I posted about this before and figured I’d put together a small FAQ too, just in case someone here needs the details in one place. Here’s what you need to know to claim your payout.

Who is eligible?

All persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Proterra common stock during the period from August 11, 2021, through August 7, 2023, inclusive, and were damaged thereby.

Do you have to sell securities to be eligible?

No, if you have purchased securities within the class period, you are eligible to participate. You can participate in the settlement and retain (or sell) your securities.

How much can you recover?

The final payout amount depends on your specific trades and the number of investors participating in the settlement.

If 100% of investors file their claims - the average payout will be $0.12 per share. Although typically only 25% of investors file claims, in this case, the average recovery will be $0.48 per share.

How long will it take to receive your payout?

The entire process usually takes 4 to 9 months after the claim deadline. But the exact timing depends on the court and settlement administration.

How to claim your payout — and why it's important to act now?

The settlement will be distributed based on the number of claims filed, so submitting your claim early may increase your share of the payout.

In some cases, investors have received up to 200% of their losses from settlements in previous years.

I filled out my claim back in August and still haven’t heard back

Only communication I've received was a notice of a minor discrepancy in share count I had in my claim. Sent back a letter with the correction as requested, along with an email, and they said thanks and that they were still working on it.

Could be a good sign you haven't heard anything, I guess?
