Spawning Bristol Bay sockeye salmon, with their distinctive red bodies and green heads, swim in the waters of Lake Clark National Park and Preserve in 2003. nearly $6.4 million to a group of shareholders who claim they were misled by corporate leaders.

The court filings name only a few individual investors, but the lawsuit has become a class-action claim with “likely hundreds, if not thousands of potential Settlement Class Members” to share in the payment, said the settlement memorandum filed on Wednesday. If the court approves the agreement and certifies the class, others who owned Northern Dynasty securities between Dec. 21, 2017 and Nov. 25, 2020 could be eligible for payment from the settlement total, according to the memorandum.
