Commonly Asked Questions


1. Why did I receive this Notice?

Answer:

You have received this Notice because Defendants’ records show you may have directly purchased Capacitors from one or more Defendant(s) or from a subsidiary, agent, affiliate or joint venture of a Defendant from January 1, 2002, through December 31, 2013.

The Court sent you this Notice for the following reason:

Class Members have the right to know about the partial settlement of a class action lawsuit, and about their legal rights and options, before the Court holds a Fairness Hearing to decide whether to grant final approval to the settlement.

This Notice explains the lawsuit, the partial settlements, and your legal rights. It also explains what benefits from the partial settlements are available at this time, who is eligible to participate, and how to share in the settlements. If the Court approves one or more of the partial settlements, and after any objections and appeals are resolved, Class Counsel will disburse the Settlement Fund (as described in Question 12 below) in one or more distributions at a time to be determined by the Court.

The Court has preliminarily approved the settlements. If you are a Settlement Class Member, you have legal rights and options that you may exercise before the Court considers whether it will grant final approval to the proposed partial settlements at the Fairness Hearing. The Court will hold the Fairness Hearing on September 15, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. to decide whether each of the proposed partial settlements with each of the Settling Defendants is fair, reasonable, and adequate. The Court will also consider Class Counsel’s request for payment of attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of litigation expenses.

If you wish to comment on (including object to) or exclude yourself from one or more of the partial settlements, you must do so by following the procedures described below. If you do nothing, you will not receive any money from the partial settlements, but you will nevertheless be bound by any final judgment concerning the Settling Defendants.

2. What is this lawsuit about?

Answer:

The lawsuit  claims  that  Defendants  entered  into  agreements  to  artificially  raise,  fix,  or  stabilize  the  prices  of  aluminum, tantalum, and film capacitors (“Capacitors”) in violation of federal antitrust law. Each of the Defendants, including the Settling

Defendants, expressly denies that it violated any laws or engaged in any wrongdoing, except that: (a) on January 21, 2016, NEC TOKIN Corporation pleaded guilty to participating in a conspiracy to fix prices of certain electrolytic capacitors; (b) on June 9, 2016, Hitachi Chemical Co., Ltd. pleaded guilty to participating in a conspiracy to fix prices of certain electrolytic capacitors; (c) on October 11, 2017, ELNA Co., Ltd. and Holy Stone Holdings Co., Ltd. pleaded guilty to participating in a conspiracy to fix prices of certain electrolytic capacitors; (d) on October 12, 2017, Rubycon Corporation pleaded guilty to participating in a conspiracy to fix prices of certain electrolytic capacitors; (e) on October 25, 2017, Matsuo Electric Co., Ltd. pleaded guilty to participating in a conspiracy to fix prices of certain electrolytic capacitors; (f ) on November 8, 2017, Nichicon Corporation pleaded guilty to participating in a conspiracy to fix prices of certain electrolytic capacitors; and (g) on May 30, 2018, Nippon Chemi-Con Corporation pleaded guilty to participating in a conspiracy to fix prices of certain electrolytic capacitors

3. Why is this a class action, and who is involved?

Answer:

In a class action lawsuit, one or more people called “Named Plaintiffs” or “Class Representatives” sue on behalf of other people who have similar claims. The people and companies with similar claims together are a “Class” and each is called a “Class Member.”  In a class action, the court resolves the issues for all Class Members, except for those who exclude themselves (or “opt-out”) from the Class.

4. Why are there settlements?

Answer:

The Court has not yet found in favor of Plaintiffs or Defendants. While the lawsuit is still pending before the United States District Court, Plaintiffs and the Settling Defendants have agreed to settlements that, if approved, will bring the claims against the Settling Defendants to an end. This way, Plaintiffs and Settling Defendants avoid the uncertainty of continuing the case between them. They also avoid the cost and delay of further litigation, and Class Members will receive the benefits of the settlements.

5. Why are the settlements “partial” settlements?

Answer:

Although the settlements with the Settling Defendants fully resolve the Class Members’ claims against the Settling Defendants (see response to Question 16), the settlements only partially resolve the case, which will continue against the Non-Settling Defendants (see response to Question 6).  For this reason, the settlements with the Settling Defendants are partial settlements.

6. Why is the lawsuit continuing if there are settlements?

Answer:

The Settling Defendants have agreed to settle this case. Previously, other Defendants have settled (see response to Question 2). The remaining Defendants have now agreed to settle, so the lawsuit will continue as a proposed class action against them.

7. What happens if the Plaintiffs later reach a settlement with the Non-Settling Defendants?

Answer:

The lawsuit will continue as a proposed class action against the Non-Settling Defendants on behalf of all Class Members.

8. Am I a Class Member who is part of the partial settlements and the ongoing class action lawsuit against the Non-Settling Defendants?

Answer:

In general, direct purchasers of Capacitors are Class Members, i.e., persons or entities (a) that are eligible for a payment from the proposed settlements when the funds are distributed, if they meet the following definition:

All persons (including individuals, companies, or other entities) that purchased Capacitors (including through controlled subsidiaries, agents, affiliates, or joint ventures) directly from any of the Defendants, their subsidiaries, agents, affiliates, or joint ventures from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2013 (the “Class Period”), and such persons are: (a) inside the United States and were billed or invoiced for capacitors by one or more Defendants during the Class Period (i.e., where capacitors were “billed to” persons within the United States); or (b) outside the United States and were billed or invoiced for capacitors by one or more Defendants during the Class Period, where such capacitors were imported into the United States by one or more Defendants (i.e., where the capacitors were “billed to” persons outside the United States but “shipped to” persons within the United States).

Excluded from the Settlement Class are: (1) Defendants (and their subsidiaries, agents, and affiliates); (2) shareholders holding more than 10% equity interest in Defendants; (3) each member of the Settlement Class that timely requests exclusion by “opting out”; (4) governmental entities; and (5) the judges and chambers staff in this case, including their immediate families.

Also excluded from the Settlement Class are those that effectively excluded themselves in accordance with the terms of the 2019 Notice of Certification of Class of Direct Purchasers of Capacitors.

In 2019, the Court certified a litigation class with respect to the ongoing class action lawsuit. The period for opting out of the litigation class has ended. Persons (as defined above) who did not file a timely opt out of the litigation class are deemed Class Members and will be bound by any future settlements or trial.

9. I’m still not sure if I am included.

Answer:

If you received a Notice in the mail, it is because you were listed as a potential Class Member.  If you are still not sure whether you are included, you can get help by calling Class Counsel at (415) 500-6800.

10. Does it make a difference whether I purchased Capacitors from the Settling Defendants or a Non-Settling Defendant?

Answer:

No. As long as you fall within the definition of the Class in Question 8, you can participate in the partial settlements, and the ongoing lawsuit against the Non-Settling Defendants, regardless of the specific Defendant from which you purchased Capacitors.

11. What are my rights as a Class Member?

Answer:

You may submit a Claim Form for a payment from the Settlement Fund (see Question 14).  Or, you may exclude yourself from one or more of the settlements (see Question 20).  You may also comment on or object to the proposed partial settlements and the request for fees and litigation expenses (see Question 23). You may also attend the Court’s Fairness Hearing to speak in support of, or against, the Court’s final approval of the proposed partial settlements and the request for fees and litigation expenses.  You may also choose to do nothing-which would result in no payment to you for the partial settlements (see Question 26).

12. What do the partial settlements provide?

Answer:

The Settling Defendants have agreed to pay funds into an Escrow Account for the benefit of Plaintiffs and the Settlement Class. Counsel will use the Escrow Account for reimbursement of such fees and expenses related to the provision of notice to the Class Members. The Settling Defendants have agreed to pay into the Escrow Account for the benefit of Plaintiffs and the Settlement Class the following (the “Settlement Fund”):

•  Matsuo has agreed to pay $5,000,000.

•  Chemi-Con has agreed to pay $160,000,000.

As a Settlement Class Member, you will give up, or “release,” claims against the Settling Defendants. This release includes any claims made or that could have been made arising from the facts alleged in this class action lawsuit relating to the Settling Defendants’ sales of Capacitors that were either billed to or shipped to the United States. The releases are described in more detail in the Settlement Agreements and in Question 16 below. You can view or download copies of the Settlement  Agreements at this website.

13. How much money can I get from the partial settlement? 

Answer:

Settlement Class Members who submit a Claim Form will be eligible to receive a share of the Settlement Fund based on an allocation formula (the “Allocation Formula”) utilizing each Settlement Class Member’s proportionate share of tantalum, aluminum, and film capacitors (“Capacitors”) directly purchased from Defendants from January 1, 2002 through December 31, 2013 (the “Settlement Class Period”) that were either billed or shipped to a location within the United States. Under the Allocation Formula, each Settlement Class Member submitting a valid Claim Form would be entitled to receive an amount calculated by multiplying (a) the net amount in the Settlement Fund (after deducting all Court-approved expenses, fees, and administrative costs) by (b) a quotient calculated by dividing (i) the total amount of Capacitors purchased directly from Defendants that were billed or shipped to a location within the United States during the Settlement Class Period by the specific Settlement Class Member submitting a valid Claim Form, with (ii) the total amount of Capacitors purchased directly from Defendants that were billed or shipped to a location within the United States during the Class Period by all Settlement Class Members submitting valid Claim Forms.

14. How can I get money from the partial settlement?

Answer:

To receive money from the partial settlements, you must complete and submit a Claim Form, either online at this website, or by mail. A copy of the Claim Form is included with this Notice. Please read this Notice and the accompanying Claim Form carefully. If any of the Defendants in this case have a record of you purchasing qualifying Capacitors from them that were billed or shipped to a location within the United States during the Class Period (i.e., between January 1, 2002 through December 31, 213, inclusive), you will be mailed a Claim Form for your review that includes details about these purchases. You can either approve the purchase information on your Claim Form, or, if you disagree with this information, you can submit records of your purchases.

You must complete and submit the form online no later than July 29, 2022, or complete the included form manually, sign it, and mail it postmarked no later than July 29, 2022, to the Notice and Claims Administrator at the address listed in Question 28 of this Notice. If necessary, you may download and print out a Claim Form from this website. If you have any problems with the Claim Form or questions about how to submit your claim, please call the Notice and Claims Administrator at 1-866-903-1223.

If you fall within the Settlement Class Member definition, you may receive money from the partial settlements.

15. When will I get my payment(s)?

Answer:

The Court is scheduled to hold a final Fairness Hearing on September 15, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. to decide whether to approve the proposed partial settlements and the request for the payment of attorneys’ fees and the reimbursement of litigation expenses. The Court may reschedule the Fairness Hearing or change any of the deadlines described in this Notice. Please check this settlement website, or the Court’s PACER site at https://ecf.cand.uscourts.gov to confirm that the date has not changed, or for news of any such changes.

Settlement payments to Settlement Class Members will be distributed after one or more of the settlements is approved, and after appeals, if any, are resolved in the Settlement Class’ favor. Class Counsel will remit the funds, through the Notice and Claims Administrator, in one or more distributions that may include future settlements with Non-Settling Defendants.

Updates regarding the partial settlements and when payments may be made will be posted on this website.

16. What am I giving up to get payment(s) under one or more of the partial settlements?

Answer:

If you are a Settlement Class Member, unless you exclude yourself from one or more of the settlements with the Settling Defendants, you will remain in the Settlement Class, and that means that you cannot sue, continue to sue, or be part of any other lawsuit against the Settling Defendants about the legal claims in this case. It also means that all of the Court’s orders will apply to you and legally bind you, and that you agree to the “Releases of Claims” specifically set forth in the Settlement Agreements with AVX, ELNA, Holy Stone, KEMET, Panasonic, Shinyei, Shizuki, and Taitsu available on this settlement website

In general (and subject to the precise terms as set forth in each of the Settlement Agreements), upon one or more of the Settlement Agreements becoming effective, the Named Plaintiffs and Settlement Class Members who did not otherwise properly and timely exclude themselves (“Releasors”) agree that the Settling Defendants and their officers, directors, employees, managers, members, partners, agents, attorneys and legal representatives, predecessors, successors, heirs, and affiliates (“Releasees”) shall be completely released, acquitted, and forever discharged from any and all manner of claims, demands, rights, actions, suits, and causes of action, whether class, individual, or otherwise in nature, damages whenever incurred, liabilities of any nature whatsoever, including costs, expenses, penalties, injuries, and attorneys’ fees that Releasors, or any one of them, whether directly, representatively, derivatively, or in any other capacity, ever had, now have, or hereafter can, shall, or may have against the Releasees, whether known or unknown, relating in any way to any conduct by Releasees alleged in the Action and any joint and several liability arising from the conduct of any of the Defendants in the Action prior to the Effective Date arising under or relating to any federal or state antitrust laws, unfair competition, unfair practices or trade practice laws, civil conspiracy, or common law or statutory fraud claims, whether such claims are known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, asserted or unasserted, foreseen or unforeseen, actual or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, regardless of legal theory and regardless of the type or amount of relief or damages claimed, including any claims arising out of, resulting from or in any way related to any conduct regardless of where it occurred at any time prior to December 31, 2013, concerning the purchase, pricing, selling, invoicing, discounting, marketing, manufacturing or distributing of Capacitors in the United States and its territories or for delivery in the United States and its territories. The Released Claims also include, but are not limited to, all claims asserted or which could have been asserted in this litigation relating to or arising out of the facts, occurrences, transactions, statements, or other matters alleged in this litigation including, but not limited to, claims arising under federal or state antitrust, unfair competition, unfair practices, price discrimination, unitary pricing, trade practice, or civil conspiracy law, including without limitation the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., but only to the extent they concern the purchase, pricing, selling, invoicing, discounting, marketing, manufacturing or distributing of Capacitors in the United States and its territories or for delivery in the United States and its territories. The released claims do not include any claim for any product defect, breach of warranty, breach of contract, claim under the Uniform Commercial Code, claim for personal or bodily injury, or claims based on indirect purchases of Capacitors.

To view the legally binding terms about the scope of the Released Claims, please refer to the proposed Settlement Agreements, which are available at this website.

By participating in the partial settlements, you are not giving up your rights against the Non-Settling Defendants.

17. Who represents me in this case?

Answer:

The Court appointed the following law firm as Interim Lead Class Counsel (also referred to as “Plaintiffs’ Counsel” or "Class Counsel") to represent the Class: 

Joseph R. Saveri

JOSEPH SAVERI LAW FIRM

601 Calfornia Street, Suite 1000

San Francisco, CA 94108

(415) 500-6800

jsaveri@saverilawfirm.com

18. Should I get my own lawyer?

Answer:

You do not need to hire your own lawyer because Plaintiffs’ Counsel are working on your behalf.  If you want your own lawyer, you may hire one, but you will be responsible for any payment for that lawyer’s services.  For example, you can ask your lawyer to appear in Court for you if you want someone other than Plaintiffs’ Counsel to speak for you.  You may also appear for yourself without a lawyer.

19. How will the lawyers be paid?

Answer:

At the Fairness Hearing, Plaintiffs’ Counsel will seek payment of;

$66,000,000 (40% of the Settlement Fund) for legal fees for the work they have done in this case, and;

$4,000,000 (approximately 2.42% of the Settlement Fund), for reimbursement of their reasonable litigation expenses, principally expert witness expenses.

If the Court awards these payments, they will be made from the Settlement Fund along with administrative fees and expenses related to the provision of notice to the Class Members, processing of Claim Forms, and distributing Settlement Funds to the Settlement Class Members submitting valid Claim Forms.

Class Counsel will also ask the Court to approve service awards of up to $100,000 each to compensate the Class Representatives for their work on behalf of the Class.

You personally do not have to pay any of Class Counsel’s fees, costs, or expenses.

20. How do I opt out of the settlement?

Answer:

If you fall within the Settlement Class Member definition (see Question 8) but wish to keep the right to sue or continue to sue one or more of the Settling Defendants (at your own expense) about the legal issues in this case, then you must take steps to remove yourself from the Settlement Class. This is called excluding yourself from, or opting out of, the settlements. Opting out of the Settlement Class for purposes of the partial settlements described in this notice will not affect your status as a member of the litigation Class for purposes of the continuing litigation against the Non-Settling Defendants. You may also opt-out of the Settlement Class with respect to one of the Settling Defendants but choose to remain in the Settlement Class with respect to the other Settling Defendant.

To exclude yourself from (or opt out of) the partial settlement with one or more Settling Defendants, you must send an Opt-Out Request letter to the Notice and Claims Administrator at the address below indicating that you want to be excluded from the Settlement Class in In re Capacitors Antitrust Litigation; stating your full legal name, address, and telephone number; providing a statement that you purchased Capacitors directly from one or more Defendants; and identifying the settlements from which you wish to opt out.

You must include the following statement with your Opt-Out Request Letter: “I want to be excluded from the Capacitors Antitrust Litigation class action settlement with [SPECIFY THE NAME OF EACH SETTLING DEFENDANT FROM WHOSE SETTLEMENT YOU WISH TO EXCLUDE YOURSELF]. I understand that by so doing, I will not be able to get any money or benefits from the settlement with that/those Settling Defendant(s) in this case.” This Opt-Out Request Letter must be signed and dated and include your telephone number. If you request to be excluded from one or more of the partial settlements with Settling Defendants, you will not be legally bound by the settlement with that/those Settling Defendant(s). You will be able to sue (or continue to sue) that/those Settling Defendant(s) in the future about the legal claims in this case.

If you ask to be excluded from one or more of the settlements with Settling Defendant(s), you will not get any payment from the settlement with respect to the Settling Defendant(s), and you cannot object to that settlement.

Exclusion/Opt-Out Request Mailing Information:

To exclude yourself from one or more of the settlements with Settling Defendant(s) or from the ongoing litigation, you must submit your Opt-Out Request Letter postmarked via First Class United States Mail (or United States Mail for overnight delivery) no later than July 29, 2022, (or received by the Notice and Claims Administrator by that date if sent by fax or e-mail) at the following address:

Notice and Claims Administrator

Capacitors Antitrust Direct Purchaser Litigation Settlement - 7537

P.O. Box 2563

Faribault, MN 55021-9563

You cannot exclude yourself (opt out) by telephone.

21. If I don’t exclude myself, can I sue the Settling Defendants for the same thing later?

Answer:

No.  If you are a Class member, unless you exclude yourself from one or more of the settlements with one or more of the Settling Defendants, you give up the right to sue all of the Settling Defendants for the claims that the partial settlement resolves as more fully described in Question 16 above.  

If you have a pending lawsuit against any of the Defendants, speak to your lawyer in that lawsuit immediately, because you may need to exclude yourself from the Class to continue your own lawsuit.  The process for excluding yourself from one or more of the settlements is described in question 20.

22. If I exclude myself, can I get money from this case?

Answer:

Yes and no.  If you exclude yourself from one or more of the settlements with Settling Defendants, you will not receive money under that settlement even if you submit a Claim Form. You will however remain eligible for payment relating to any settlements from which you did not opt out. You will also remain eligible to a share of the money recovered, if any, from Non-Settling Defendants in the future.

23. How do I tell the Court that I like or don’t like the proposed settlement and may I speak at the hearing?

Answer:

You can ask the Court to deny approval by filing an objection. You cannot ask the Court to order a different settlement; the Court can only approve or reject the settlement. If the Court denies approval, no settlement payments will be sent out and the lawsuit will continue. If that is what you want to happen, you must object.

Any objection to the proposed settlement must be in writing. If you file a timely written objection, you may, but are not required, to appear at the Final Approval Hearing, either in person or through your own attorney. If you appear through your own attorney, you are responsible for hiring and paying that attorney. All written objections and supporting papers must (a) clearly identify the case name and number (In re Capacitors Antitrust Settlement, Case Nos. 17-md-02801-JD, 14-cv-03264-JD (N.D. Cal.)), (b) be submitted to the Court either by mailing them to the Class Action Clerk, United States District Court for the Northern District of California, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102, or by filing them in person at any location of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, and (c) be filed or postmarked on or before July 29, 2022.

Be sure to include:

• Your name, address, telephone number, email address and signature.

• A statement signed under penalty of perjury that you are a member of the Class.

• A detailed statement of your comment(s) or objection(s), including the grounds for your objection(s), if any, together with any documents you think support it.

You do not need to attend or speak at the Fairness Hearing (described in Question 24 below) for your comments or objections to be considered. If you would like to speak at the Fairness Hearing about your comments or objections to the settlement, you must add to your objection a statement that you intend to appear and speak at the hearing (for example, by stating “This is my Notice of Intention to Appear in In re Capacitors Antitrust Litigation.”).

You will have no right to speak at the Fairness Hearing about these settlements if you choose to exclude yourself from the settlements, because a settlement no longer affects you if you opt out of it.

24. When and where will the Court decide whether to approve the settlements?

Answer:

The Court will hold a Fairness Hearing on September 15, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 11, on the 19th Floor of the United States District Court located at 450 Golden Gate Avenue in San Francisco, California.

At the Fairness Hearing, the Court will consider each of the proposed settlements and determine whether each is fair, reasonable, and adequate. The Court will also consider the request for attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses, and for payment of other administrative expenses. If there are written comments or objections, the Court will consider them. The Court will decide whether to allow people who have raised objections or comments to speak at the hearing. After the Fairness Hearing, the Court will separately decide whether to approve the partial settlements.

The Court may reschedule the Fairness Hearing or change any of the deadlines described in the Notice.  Please check this website for news of any such changes.

25. Do I have to come to the Fairness Hearing?

Answer:

No.  Class Counsel will be present at the Fairness Hearing to answer any questions the Court may have.  You  are welcome to come at your own expense.  If you send comments or objections to the settlements, you don’t have to come to Court to talk about them.  If you mailed your written comments or objections on time, the Court will consider them.  You may also pay your own lawyer to attend, but it is not necessary.

26. What happens if I do nothing at all?

Answer:

If you are a Settlement Class Member and you do nothing, you will receive no money from the partial settlements with the Settling Defendants. Any claims you might have against the Settling Defendants for the allegations in this case will be released unless you separately write to exclude yourself (following the instructions in Question 20). This means that if you do nothing, you will not be able to collect any damages from the Settling Defendants for the alleged agreements to raise, maintain, or stabilize the prices of Capacitors as alleged in this lawsuit, or in any other lawsuit. You will not receive money from the partial settlements unless you submit a Claim Form (by following the instructions in Question 14). To qualify to receive any money from the settlements with the Settling Defendants, you must submit a Claim Form and follow the instructions in Question 14. Your claim must be filed online or postmarked by mail by July 29, 2022, or received by the Notice and Claims Administrator by that time (e.g., via e-mail or facsimile).

27. Are more details about the settlements and the lawsuit available?

Answer:

Yes. This Notice summarizes the proposed settlements with the Settling Defendants and the ongoing lawsuit against the Non-Settling Defendants. More details about the settlements are set forth in the proposed Settlement Agreements themselves. You can see or print copies of the Settlement Agreements at this website. More information about the ongoing class action lawsuit, including the Plaintiffs’ class action complaint, can also be viewed or printed at this website, or at the Website of Class Counsel, the Joseph Saveri Law Firm, Inc., at www.saverilawfirm.com.

28. How do I get more information?

Answer:

The website allows you to complete and submit a Claim Form online. The Website also provides answers to common questions about the lawsuit, the partial settlements, Claim Forms, and other information to help you determine whether you are a Settlement Class Member, whether you are eligible for a payment, and when Settlement Funds will be distributed.
