Publicly Traded Common StockThe United States District Court for the District of Nevada has approved a notice announcing a proposed $7.5 million cash settlement in a securities class action lawsuit against Vintage Wine Estates, Inc. and three individual defendants, to benefit shareholders who purchased the company's publicly traded common stock between October 13, 2021 and February 8, 2023.

The decline has wiped $850 billion (48%) in market value from major listed alcohol companies since their June 2021 peak, forcing mass layoffs including Heineken's plan to cut 7% of its 87,000-person global workforce and Brown-Forman's 12% reduction, prompting executive changes at Diageo, Constellation Brands, and Heineken, and driving companies including Brewdog, Vintage Wine Estates, and multiple US distilleries into bankruptcy.
