Securities Class Action Settled for $44M
On October 16, 2026, the parties executed a memorandum of understanding under which ZoomInfo will pay $44 million to the putative class in exchange for dismissal and a release of claims.
-
Insurance to Cover Part of Payout
Remaining insurance funds are expected to cover a portion of the $44 million, though the exact split is not disclosed.
-
Related Litigation Still Outstanding
Left unresolved are the derivative suits in Washington District Court and Delaware Chancery, the direct opt-out action, and the separate June 25, 2026 class action.
-
Court Approval Required
Preliminary and final approval from the Washington District Court are still needed, along with other conditions; the proposed settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing.
Analysis · GTM · Technology
A $44 million payment will settle the 2024 securities class action covering purchasers from November 2020 through August 2024, with part of the cost expected to come from remaining insurance. That clears a multi-year overhang along with the legal costs and management distraction it carried, though it is not a clean slate: the derivative suits in Washington and Delaware, a direct opt-out action by investors, and a separate June 2026 class action all remain outstanding, and the company says it will keep defending them. Preliminary and final court approval are still required, so the cash outlay and any insurance shortfall are not yet final.
