Lead
Plaintiffs, the Public Employees’
Retirement System of Mississippi and the Puerto Rico Teachers’ Retirement
System, on behalf of themselves and the other members of the Settlement
Class, have reached a settlement of the Action with Defendants Amedisys,
Inc. ("Amedisys"), and Wendy Stabiler Borne as the Independent
Executrix of the Succession of William F. Borne, Jeffrey D. Jeter, Dale E.
Redman, Larry R. Graham, Alice Ann Schwartz, Gregory Browne, and John F. Giblin for $43,750,000.00 in cash (the “Settlement”), which resolves all
claims asserted in the Action.
On December 13, 2017, the Court held a hearing to consider final approval of the Settlement and related matters. On December 20, 2017, the Court entered an Order and Final Judgment approving the Settlement as fair, reasonable and adequate, entered an order approving the Plan of Allocation for the proceeds of the Settlement, and entered an order awarding attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of litigation expenses to Plaintiffs’ Counsel.

during the period from August 2, 2005 through September 30, 2011, inclusive and
were damaged thereby, except for certain persons and entities who are excluded from
the Settlement Class by definition (see paragraph 31 of the Notice) or who
requested exclusion pursuant to the instructions set forth in the Notice.
