-
Settlement Agreement Executed
On September 4, 2026, Cardlytics and Amit Jain signed a settlement resolving the Delaware advancement action for an aggregate $6.4 million payment.
-
Payment Matches Existing Accrual
The $6.4M settlement is consistent with the $6.5M accrual ($5.3M settlement + $1.2M legal fees) already recorded as of June 30, 2026, so no material new earnings hit is expected.
-
Insurance Rights Assigned to Cardlytics
Jain irrevocably assigned his Scottsdale insurance coverage actions to Cardlytics, giving the company sole authority to pursue recoveries, while Jain retains only his implied covenant claims.
-
Going-Forward Advancement Obligations
Under the original indemnification agreement, Cardlytics remains obligated to advance Jain's reasonable fees for the Scottsdale and Delaware actions on a going-forward basis.
Analysis · CDLX · Technology
A Delaware Chancery lawsuit brought by Bridg founder Amit Jain over advancement of legal fees tied to the DailyGobble settlement has been resolved. The company will pay $6.4 million — roughly in line with the $6.5 million accrual already recorded as of June 30, 2026 — and in exchange receives assignment of Jain's claims against Scottsdale Insurance, giving Cardlytics control over potential insurance recoveries. The settlement removes litigation overhang and preserves going-forward advancement obligations under the original indemnification agreement.
