Settlement Information
A settlement (“Settlement”) has been proposed in the class action lawsuit Williams v. Udemy, Inc. pending in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego (“Action”). If the Court gives final approval to the Settlement, Udemy, Inc. (“Udemy”) will provide, for each Class Member who made a purchase during the Class Period and properly and timely completes and submits a Claim Form, a cash payment of four dollars ($4.00) for every Eligible Course Purchase. In the event the total dollar amount of claims made exceeds the funds available in the Settlement Fund Account, the per-course value to be distributed will be determined by dividing the total number of courses for which claims have been made into the amount of the funds available in the Settlement Fund Account. In the event the total dollar amount of claims is less than the funds available in the Settlement Fund Account, that amount shall be divided by the number of Class Members who claim and are eligible to receive payment and distributed in an equal amount to each such Class Member in the form of a nontransferable, nonrefundable account credit useable for up to three years from the date of distribution to the Udemy account associated with that Class Member’s email address.
