The global shareholder class action landscape continues to grow and evolve with more emphasis on shareholder litigation around the world. Investors should not only be aware of cases in their own jurisdiction, but also the larger global cases that may also impact them.

Here are five global opt-in litigation with upcoming participation deadlines to keep on your radar:

1. Credit Suisse (Switzerland) ​​​​​– June 28, 2019

3. Fortis (Dutch Foundation) – July 28, 2019

In March 2016, Fortis and several shareholder organizations reached a collective settlement providing €1.204 billion (roughly $1.3 billion) to harmed investors. The Fortis settlement represents the largest ever under Dutch collective settlement procedures, which is why it has garnered such significant press coverage. The settlement relates to Fortis’s unsuccessful participation in the ABN AMRO acquisition prior to the 2008 financial crisis. To take part in the EUR 1.3 billion settlement, shareholders must file a claim form with supporting documentation with the claim administrator no later than July 28, 2019.
