BACKGROUND:



In May 2015, Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs filed a class action lawsuit against Defendants on behalf of a class of direct purchasers of Alternators, alleging that they conspired to raise, fix, maintain, and stabilize prices, rig bids, and allocate the supply of Alternators sold in the United States, in violation of federal antitrust laws. Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs further alleged that as a result of the conspiracy, they and other direct purchasers of Alternators were injured by paying more than they would have paid in the absence of the alleged illegal conduct.
