On February 16, 2012, a putative securities class action complaint was filed in the Court against Kinross and certain of its former officers and directors. That complaint alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated under Section 10(b), resulting from Defendants’ public statements between August 10, 2011 and January 16, 2012, inclusive.

A class action is a type of lawsuit in which one or several individuals or entities prosecute claims on behalf of all members of a group of similarly-situated persons and entities to obtain monetary or other relief for the benefit of the entire group. Class actions avoid the necessity of each member of a class having to file his, her, or its own separate lawsuit to obtain relief. Class actions are used to decide legal and factual issues that are common to all members of a class. The Court certified this case as a class action by order dated May 27, 2014.

• Defendants;
• Kinross’s Board of Directors during the Class Period;
• Kinross’s Senior Leadership Team during the Class Period; and
• any firm, trust, corporation, officer, director, or other entity in which any Defendant has a controlling interest, or which is related to or affiliated with any of the Defendants, and the legal representatives, affiliates, heirs, successors-in-interest or assigns of any such excluded party.

On October 15, 2015, the Court approved the Settlement, dismissing the Action with prejudice and all Class Members fully released and discharged the Defendants from all claims for relief arising out of or based on Lead Plaintiff’s allegations. When a Person “releases” claims, that means that Person cannot sue the Defendants for any of the claims covered by the release.

If you are a Class Member and you submit a valid and timely Claim Form, you will receive a payment based upon the distribution formula described in the Notice.
