SUMMARY NOTICE

TO:  

ALL PERSONS WHO PURCHASED OR ACQUIRED GRUBHUB, INC. (“GRUBHUB”) COMMON STOCK BETWEEN APRIL 25, 2019 AND OCTOBER 28, 2019, INCLUSIVE

THIS NOTICE WAS AUTHORIZED BY THE COURT. IT IS NOT A LAWYER SOLICITATION. PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY. YOUR RIGHTS WILL BE AFFECTED BY A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT PENDING IN THIS COURT.

YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED, pursuant to an Order of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division (the “Court”) and Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, that (i) the above-captioned litigation (the “Litigation”) has been preliminarily certified as a class action on behalf of a class of all Persons who purchased Grubhub common stock between April 25, 2019 and October 28, 2019, inclusive, except for certain Persons excluded from the Class as defined in the full printed Notice of Pendency and Proposed Settlement of Class Action (“Notice”), which is available as described below; and (ii) Lead Plaintiff and Defendants in the Litigation have reached an agreement to settle the Litigation for $42,000,000 in cash (the “Settlement”). If the Settlement is approved it will resolve all claims in the Litigation. Any capitalized terms used in this Summary Notice that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Stipulation of Settlement dated October 7, 2022 (the “Stipulation”) and the Notice.

A telephonic hearing will be held on January 12, 2023, at 9:00 a.m., before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly. The dial-in number is 888-684-8852, access code 746-1053. The purpose of the hearing is to determine: (1) whether the proposed Settlement of the claims in the Litigation for the sum of $42,000,000 in cash should be approved by the Court as fair, reasonable, and adequate; (2) whether a Class should be certified for purposes of the Settlement; (3) whether, thereafter, this Litigation should be dismissed with prejudice pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Stipulation; (4) whether the proposed Plan of Allocation is fair, reasonable, and adequate and therefore should be approved; and (5) the reasonableness of the application of Lead Counsel for the payment of attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Litigation, together with the interest earned thereon (and any payment to the Lead Plaintiff pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 in connection with its representation of the Class).

If you purchased or acquired Grubhub common stock during the period between April 25, 2019 and October 28, 2019, inclusive, your rights may be affected by the settlement of this Litigation. If you have not received a detailed Notice and a copy of the Proof of Claim and Release form (“Proof of Claim”), you may obtain copies (as well as a copy of the Stipulation) by writing to Grubhub Securities Litigation, Claims Administrator, c/o Gilardi & Co. LLC, P.O. Box 6198, Novato, CA 94948-6198, or by downloading this information at www.GrubhubSecuritiesLitigation.com.
