What is this lawsuit about?
This litigation (the “Action”) is a class action in which Named Plaintiffs Judy Larson, Janelle Mausolf, and Karen Reese, allege that the Defendants breached fiduciary duties owed to the participants in and beneficiaries of the Plans under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") by, among other things, failing to attempt to reduce the Plans’ expenses or exercise appropriate judgment to scrutinize each investment option that was offered in the Plans to ensure it was prudent. Defendants have denied and continue to deny all of the claims and allegations in the Action and deny any liability or wrongful conduct of any kind.
A copy of the Complaint, as well as other documents filed in the Action, are available on the Important Documents page.
