What Is the Mylan Securities Settlement About?
If you bought stock in Mylan — the pharmaceutical company best known for making the EpiPen — at any point between February 2016 and May 2019, you may be owed money from a $60 million securities class action settlement. Here is what happened and what it means for you, in plain English.
The case is In re Mylan, N.V. Securities Litigation, Master File No. 2:20-cv-00955-NR, pending in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. The parties agreed to settle for $60,000,000 after a mediation session in December 2025. Mylan denied all allegations, and the court did not decide who was right — the settlement is a compromise that ends the litigation and provides a guaranteed cash recovery for the class.
What Is Mylan?
Mylan N.V. was one of the largest generic and specialty pharmaceutical companies in the world. If you have ever used a generic prescription drug, there is a good chance it was made by Mylan. The company was best known for manufacturing the EpiPen — the emergency epinephrine injector used by millions of people with severe allergies. Mylan also made hundreds of other generic medications, from blood pressure drugs to antibiotics to HIV treatments.
During the time period covered by this settlement, Mylan's stock traded on the NASDAQ stock exchange under the ticker symbol MYL. If you owned shares through a brokerage account, a retirement account like an IRA or 401(k), or any other investment account, you may have held Mylan stock.
After the class period ended, Mylan merged with Upjohn — a division of Pfizer — in November 2020 to form a new company called Viatris (NASDAQ: VTRS). If you held Mylan stock through the merger, your shares were converted to Viatris shares.
What Is a Securities Class Action?
When you buy stock in a company, you are relying on the company's public statements — earnings reports, press releases, SEC filings — to be accurate. Federal securities laws require companies to tell the truth about their business. If a company or its executives make false or misleading statements that artificially inflate the stock price, and you buy stock at that inflated price, you lose money when the truth comes out and the stock drops. A securities class action is a lawsuit filed on behalf of all the investors who were harmed by those misrepresentations. Instead of each investor filing a separate lawsuit, one lawsuit covers everyone.
A settlement means the company agrees to pay a sum of money to compensate those investors rather than risk a trial. The money is distributed proportionally based on when you bought, how many shares you held, and when (or if) you sold.
What Did Mylan Allegedly Do?
The lawsuit alleged that Mylan and three of its top executives made false and misleading statements about FDA inspections and regulatory compliance problems at Mylan's manufacturing facilities around the world.
In plain terms, the FDA inspects pharmaceutical manufacturing plants to make sure drugs are being made safely and correctly. When problems are found, the FDA issues compliance notices (such as warning letters or Form 483 observations). The lawsuit claimed Mylan's executives downplayed or concealed the severity of these FDA findings, making investors believe the company's manufacturing operations were in better shape than they actually were. This allegedly kept Mylan's stock price artificially high.
When the truth came out through a series of disclosures in 2018 and 2019 — on June 27, 2018, August 8, 2018, February 26, 2019, and May 7, 2019 — Mylan's stock price dropped significantly. Investors who bought shares at the inflated prices lost money. Mylan denied all allegations, and the settlement is not an admission of liability by anyone.
Do I Qualify?
You qualify if you purchased or otherwise acquired publicly traded common stock of Mylan N.V. (NASDAQ: MYL) between February 16, 2016 and May 7, 2019 (inclusive) and were damaged as a result.
To receive any payment, you must have held your shares through at least one of the corrective disclosure dates — June 27, 2018, August 8, 2018, February 26, 2019, or May 7, 2019. If you bought and sold all your Mylan stock before June 27, 2018, your recognized loss is zero.
This includes shares held in brokerage accounts, retirement accounts (IRAs, 401(k)s), and any other investment accounts. If you held Mylan stock through an employer retirement plan (ERISA plan), only shares purchased outside of that plan are eligible — the plan's trustees may file separately for shares held within the plan.
How Much Can You Get?
The total settlement fund is $60 million. After deductions for attorneys' fees (up to 25% of the fund), litigation expenses (up to $500,000), administration costs, and taxes, the remaining net settlement fund is distributed to claimants based on a formula that considers when you bought, how many shares you held, and when you sold.
The estimated average recovery is approximately $0.11 per eligible share before fee deductions. Your actual payment could be higher or lower depending on your specific transactions and how many claims are filed. If your calculated distribution amount is less than $10.00, no payment will be made.
How Do I File a Claim?
You must submit a claim form with supporting documentation showing your Mylan stock transactions during the class period. This means brokerage statements, trade confirmations, or similar records showing the dates you bought and sold Mylan shares and the prices you paid.
Claims can be submitted online at the official settlement website or by mail. The deadline is July 10, 2026.
Keep in mind: the settlement administrator does not have your transaction records. You must provide them yourself. If you no longer have your brokerage statements, contact your broker or financial institution to request copies. If you lost your notice or need help, use the contact form on the official settlement website rather than responding to unsolicited messages.

Watch Out for Settlement Scams

• Share only what is needed. The Claims Administrator needs your transaction documentation and contact details — not banking passwords or unrelated personal data.
