Read this notice carefully as it may affect your legal rights

This lawsuit alleges that Pretium and Quartermain released documents containing misrepresentations about the Company’s business and operations at its Brucejack Mine. The lawsuit further alleges that when the Company issued statements correcting these misrepresentations on October 9, and 22, 2013, the price of Pretium’s stock declined to reflect the true state of events, thereby harming Class Members.

On January 23, 2019, the Honourable Justice Belobaba of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice certified the action: Wong v. Pretium Resources, Court File No.: CV-13-00491800-CP (the “Class Action”) as a class proceeding against Pretium and Quartermain on consent, and appointed David Wong as the representative plaintiff.  The substance of the litigation (i.e. that the Defendants made misrepresentations in their public disclosure documents in 2013) has not been adjudicated by the Court. The Defendants deny the allegations.

YOUR TWO OPTIONS:

  1. Do Nothing and Remain in the Class Action:

Class Members are automatically included in the action once certified if they do not opt-out. You do not need to do anything at this time to stay in the Class Action. If a settlement or any recovery or benefits are achieved for the Class and approved by the Court, you will be notified about how to ask for the portion to which you are entitled. You will be legally bound by all orders and judgments of the Court, and you will not be able to sue the Defendants on your own regarding the legal claims made in this case. You will NOT be required to pay any costs in the event that this Class Action is unsuccessful.

  1. Opt-Out of the Class Action:

All Class Members will be bound by all orders and judgments of the Court and any settlement reached unless they opt-out of the action. If you wish to pursue your own action or do not want to be bound by the outcome of the Class Action, YOU MUST OPT-OUT OF THE CLASS ACTION.
