Class Actions, Buybacks and Tender Offers
 
        You will often receive some mailings from various companies regarding class action litigation, tender offers, or share buybacks. You can discard all of these notices as we submit all of our trading activity through Fidelity and if you qualify for a class action suit, we will send you the appropriate forms.

    To be eligible to participate in a class action suit, you must have owned the security during the time period of the lawsuit AND you must have lost money on the investment. If you meet the two conditions, we will send you the forms along with the supporting documents. Incidentally, our experience with class action suits over the years is that there may be relatively small settlements that arrive years after filing the paperwork.
