Overview

A class action lawsuit is pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against Defendants International Rectifier, and Alexander Lidow, Eric Lidow and Michael P. McGee (the “Individual Defendants,” collectively with IR, the “Defendants”). The proposed settlement, if approved by the Court, will resolve certain claims of all persons and entities who purchased or acquired IR publicly traded Securities from July 31, 2003, through February 11, 2008, inclusive (the “Class Period”) and suffered damages as a result (the “Class”).

Participate in the Settlement

If you purchased or otherwise acquired publicly traded IR Securities during the period between July 31, 2003, through February 11, 2008, inclusive, and were damaged thereby, and you are not excluded by the definition of the Class and you did not elect to exclude yourself from the Class, then you are a Class Member, and you will be bound by the proposed Settlement if the Court approves it, and by any judgment or determination of the Court affecting the Class. If you are a Class Member, you must submit a Claim Form and supporting documentation to establish your entitlement to share in the Settlement.

You can download a Claim Form on this website or request one be mailed to you by calling 1 (888) 685-7768. If you wish to obtain a payment as a Class Member, you will need to file a Claim Form postmarked no later than February 6, 2010.
