Summary of the Action and Settlement

In this securities class action, the Court-appointed Lead Plaintiffs alleged that the Defendants made false and misleading statements in violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder; and (ii) against all Individual Defendants for violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. Specifically, Lead Plaintiffs alleged that Defendants made false and misleading statements or omissions that influenced the trading prices of Credit Acceptance publicly traded common stock during the Class Period. Defendants deny they have committed any act or omission giving rise to any liability or violation of law, and deny that Lead Plaintiffs and the Settlement Class have suffered any loss attributable to Defendants’ actions or omissions.

Lead Plaintiffs, on behalf of themselves and the Settlement Class, have entered into a Settlement with Defendants. In exchange for the Settlement and release of Plaintiffs’ Released Claims, they have agreed to create a $12,000,000 cash fund, which may accrue interest, to be distributed, after deduction of Court-awarded attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses, Notice and Administration expenses, Taxes, and any other fees or expenses approved by the Court, among Settlement Class Members who submit valid Claim Forms and are found to be eligible to receive a distribution from the Net Settlement Fund. The Settlement resolves all claims in the Action.

If you are a Settlement Class Member, your rights will be affected and you may be eligible for a payment from the Settlement.
