Shareholder class action settlement. If you received Micro Focus shares between Sep 1, 2017 and Aug 28, 2019 -- as part of the HPE Software spinoff, or otherwise -- you have a potential claim no matter when you disposed of the MFGP shares -- even if you held them until they were purchased by OpenText earlier in 2023. Very rough estimate of average payout: $0.39 per MFGP ADS -- i.e. $5.30 for every 100 HPE shares owned on Sep 1, 2017. Details, claim deadline, how to claim: Micro Focus Suit
