MORE INFORMATION

Settlements have been reached in a class action antitrust lawsuit filed on behalf of End-User Consumer Plaintiffs with Defendants: Fieldale Farms Corporation (“Fieldale”); George’s Inc. and George’s Farms, Inc. (“George’s”); Mar-Jac Poultry, Inc., Mar-Jac Poultry MS, LLC, Mar-Jac Poultry AL, LLC, Mar-Jac AL/MS, Inc., Mar-Jac Poultry, LLC and Mar-Jac Holdings, Inc. (“Mar-Jac”); Peco Foods, Inc. (“Peco”); Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation (“Pilgrim’s”); and Tyson Foods, Inc., Tyson Chicken, Inc., Tyson Breeders, Inc., and Tyson Poultry, Inc. (“Tyson”) (collectively, “Settling Defendants”).

If approved by the Court, the Settlements will resolve Plaintiffs’ claims that the Settling Defendants conspired to stabilize the price and supply of chicken from January 1, 2009 through July 31, 2019, and for Pilgrim’s from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2020, in violation of federal and state laws. Settling Defendants have not admitted any liability and continue to deny the legal claims alleged in this lawsuit.

If approved, the Settlements will avoid litigation costs and risks to End-User Consumer Plaintiffs and Settling Defendants, and will release Settling Defendants from liability to members of the Settlement Class.

The Settlements require the Settling Defendants to pay a combined $181,000,000. In addition to this monetary payment, Settling Defendants have agreed to provide specified cooperation (as set forth in the Settlement Agreements) in the End-User Consumer Plaintiffs’ continued prosecution of the litigation. The Court has not decided whether Settling Defendants did anything wrong, and the Settling Defendants deny any wrongdoing.
