Who qualifies
- The class includes people and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired the publicly traded Class A shares or call options, or wrote publicly traded put options on those shares, during the class period and were damaged. The court defines the class by the securities transactions and losses, without a U.S. residence requirement in that definition.
- To have a recognized loss under the allocation plan, eligible shares or calls had to be purchased during the class period and held through the close of U.S. trading on November 4, 2024. Eligible written puts had to remain outstanding at that close. Investors with no compensable loss are excluded.
- The class excludes the defendants, certain Marqeta partners, control persons, officers and directors and their immediate families, specified Marqeta affiliates and related entities, defendant-controlled entities, specified family trusts, directors’ and officers’ insurers, and the legal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns of excluded parties. Anyone whose exclusion request the court accepts will not share in the fund.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a fixed payment per share?
No. After court-approved deductions, each authorized claimant’s share equals their recognized claim divided by all recognized claims, multiplied by the net fund. All eligible call and written put options together are limited to 1% of the net fund. A calculated payment below $10 is not distributed.
Does owning Marqeta shares now qualify me?
Eligibility depends on qualifying trades during February 28 through November 4, 2024 and a compensable loss. The allocation plan also considers which positions remained open at the November 4 market close.
When must I opt out or object?
The issued notice requires Epiq to receive any exclusion request by December 22, 2026. Objections must be submitted to the court by that date. The claim deadline is December 31.
Where can I ask for the form if I cannot download it?
Epiq is the court-appointed claims administrator. Its toll-free number is 877-239-7087, and the court-directed summary notice lists its mailing address.
