Overview

Plaintiffs in this lawsuit, individually and on behalf of the Settlement Class, have entered into a settlement with DIRECTV, Inc. The Action was filed on March 31, 2003 and alleges that Plaintiffs were promised rebates from Prime TV, LLC, and did not receive those rebates, and that DIRECTV is in possession of funds owed to Prime TV, LLC which should be paid to the Settlement Class.

Defendant denies all liability or wrongdoing with respect to any and all of the claims alleged in the Action, but considers it desirable that this matter be settled because such settlement will avoid the risk, expense, inconvenience, and distraction of continued litigation. After arm’s-length negotiations, a Settlement has been approved by the Court.
