SUMMARY NOTICE OF PENDENCY AND PROPOSED
CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT
TO: all persons who (i) purchased or otherwise acquired UXIN LIMITED (“UXIN” or the “Company”) AMERICAN DEPOSITORY SHARES (“Adss”) FROM June 27, 2018 through April 16, 2019, inclusively (THE “SETTLEMENT CLASS PERIOD”); or (Ii) purchased or otherwise acquired Uxin Adss pursuant or traceable to Uxin’s Registration Statements and Prospectus for Uxin’s June 27, 2018 initial public offering (“IPO”).
THIS NOTICE WAS AUTHORIZED BY THE COURT. IT IS NOT A LAWYER SOLICITATION. PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY.
YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that a hearing will be held on September 7, 2021, at 10:00 a.m., before the Honorable Margo K. Brodie, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of New York, 225 Cadman Plaza East, Courtroom 6F, Brooklyn, New York 11201, to determine whether: (1) the proposed settlement (the “Settlement”) of the above-captioned action (the “Action”) as well as the action pending in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, styled as In re Uxin Limited Securities Litigation, Index No. 650427/2019 (Sup. Ct. N.Y. Cty.) (“State Court Action”) as set forth in the Stipulation of Settlement (“Stipulation”)[1] for $9,500,000 in cash should be approved by the Court as fair, reasonable and adequate; (2) the Judgment as provided under the Stipulation should be entered; (3) to award Plaintiffs’ Counsel attorneys’ fees and expenses out of the Settlement Fund (as defined in the Notice of Proposed Settlement of Class Action (“Notice”), which is discussed below), and, if so, in what amount; (4) to award Plaintiffs for representing the Settlement Class out of the Settlement Fund and, if so, in what amount; and (5) the Plan of Allocation should be approved by the Court as fair, reasonable and adequate. The Court reserves the right to hold the Settlement Fairness Hearing telephonically or by other virtual means.
This Action and the State Court Action are securities class actions brought on behalf of those persons who purchased or acquired Uxin ADSs during the Settlement Class Period or pursuant or traceable to Uxin’s Registration Statements and Prospectus for Uxin’s IPO, against Uxin, certain of its officers, directors, and underwriters of Uxin’s IPO (collectively, “Defendants”) for, among other things, allegedly misstating and omitting material facts from the Registration Statement and Prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the IPO. Plaintiffs allege that these purportedly false and misleading statements inflated the price of the Company’s ADSs, resulting in damage to Settlement Class Members when the truth was revealed. Defendants deny all of Plaintiffs’ allegations.
IF YOU PURCHASED OR ACQUIRED UXIN ADSs (I) BETWEEN June 27, 2018 THROUGH AND INCLUDING April 16, 2019, OR (II) PURSUANT OR TRACEABLE TO UXIN’S REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND PROSPECTUS FOR UXIN’s IPO, YOUR RIGHTS MAY BE AFFECTED BY THE SETTLEMENT OF THIS ACTION AND THE STATE COURT ACTION.
To share in the distribution of the Settlement Fund, you must establish your rights by submitting a Proof of Claim and Release Form (“Proof of Claim”) by mail (postmarked no later than August 11, 2021) or electronically (no later than August 11, 2021). Your failure to submit your Proof of Claim by August 11, 2021, will subject your claim to rejection and preclude your receiving any of the recovery in connection with the Settlement of this Action and the State Court Action. If you are a member of the Settlement Class and do not request exclusion therefrom, you will be bound by the Settlement and any judgment and release entered in the Action and the State Court Action, including, but not limited to, the Judgment, whether or not you submit a Proof of Claim.
If you have not received a copy of the Notice, which more completely describes the Settlement and your rights thereunder (including your right to object to the Settlement), and a Proof of Claim, you may obtain these documents, as well as a copy of the Stipulation (which, among other things, contains definitions for the defined terms used in this Summary Notice) and other settlement documents, online at www.UxinSecuritiesSettlement.com, or by writing to:
