Current Status
Final approval granted — payments pending. Claims are closed; the deadline was August 17, 2026. SolarEdge's quarterly report for the period ended September 30, 2026 states that the Court held a final settlement conference on August 24, 2026 and approved the settlement on August 26, 2026, and that the $55 million was paid into escrow by SolarEdge's insurers. No distribution date had been announced as of November 7, 2026.What Is the SolarEdge Securities Settlement About?
Did you buy or otherwise acquire SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. common stock (NASDAQ: SEDG) between February 13, 2023 and October 19, 2023? A $55,000,000 cash settlement was reached in the securities class action In re SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. Securities Litigation, and the Court approved it on August 26, 2026. The deadline to submit a Claim Form was August 17, 2026.The case was brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Case No. 1:23-cv-09748-GHW-OTW. The lawsuit alleges that SolarEdge and several of its former executives — Zvi Lando, Ronen Faier, Lior Danziger, and J.B. Lowe — violated the federal securities laws by making material misrepresentations and/or omissions about channel inventory levels of SolarEdge's products and demand for those products in Europe. According to the complaint, those statements artificially inflated the price of SolarEdge common stock, and when the truth emerged, the stock price fell and investors were damaged.
SolarEdge and the individual defendants deny any wrongdoing and maintain that their disclosures were true and correct in all material respects. The Court did not decide in favor of either side — the settlement is a compromise that ends the litigation and provides a guaranteed cash recovery for the class. The Settlement Amount of $55,000,000 will earn interest and be reduced by Court-approved attorneys' fees, litigation expenses, awards to the plaintiffs, notice and administration costs, and any taxes on interest before being distributed to eligible claimants.

Who Qualifies for the Settlement Class?
The Settlement Class includes all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired SolarEdge Technologies common stock during the Class Period — from February 13, 2023 through October 19, 2023, inclusive — and who were allegedly damaged.During the Class Period, SolarEdge common stock traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the ticker symbol SEDG (CUSIP 83417M 104).
Certain parties are excluded from the Settlement Class, including: the defendants; the immediate family members of the individual defendants; any person who was an officer or director of SolarEdge during the Class Period and their immediate families; any affiliates or subsidiaries of SolarEdge; any entity in which the defendants have or had a controlling interest; the legal representatives, heirs, successors, and assigns of any excluded person or entity; and anyone who validly and timely requests exclusion from the class.
Receiving a notice does not automatically mean you are a class member or that you will receive money. The parties do not have access to your individual trading records, so you must check your own brokerage statements (or contact your broker) to confirm your SEDG transactions, and you must submit a Claim Form to be eligible for a payment.

How Much Can You Get?
Your payment depends on several factors, including when you bought and sold your SolarEdge shares, the prices you paid and received, and the total Recognized Losses of all valid claims filed. Because the money is divided proportionally, no one can tell you an exact amount in advance.The notice provides estimates to give class members a sense of scale, based on approximately 26.7 million damaged shares:
• Estimated average gross recovery: about $2.06 per share.
• Estimated average net recovery (after attorneys' fees, expenses, and other deductions): about $1.49 per share.
These figures are estimates only and are not a promise of what you will receive. Your actual recovery is calculated under the Court-approved Plan of Allocation, which assigns a "Recognized Loss" to each eligible share based on when it was purchased and sold relative to the alleged inflation and the corrective disclosure period. The Plan applies the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method to match purchases and sales, and incorporates the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act's 90-day "look-back" rule, which uses an average closing price of $81.62 for shares held through January 17, 2024.
The Court approved the settlement on August 26, 2026. After all claims are processed, each authorized claimant receives a pro rata share of the Net Settlement Fund equal to their Recognized Loss divided by the total Recognized Losses of all claimants. The settlement administrator will not issue any distribution of less than $10.00.
What Did SolarEdge Allegedly Do?
SolarEdge is a maker of solar power equipment, including inverters and related technology. The complaint focuses on the company's public statements during 2023 about how much of its product was sitting in distribution channels in Europe and how strong demand for that product really was.Plaintiffs allege that SolarEdge and the individual defendants painted an overly rosy picture — understating channel inventory and overstating European demand — which kept the SEDG stock price artificially high. When information that allegedly corrected those statements began reaching the market after the close of trading on August 1, 2023, the stock price declined, removing the alleged inflation and causing losses to investors who had bought during the Class Period.
On April 6, 2025, the Court denied the defendants' motion to dismiss in part, allowing the core misrepresentation claims about channel inventory and European demand to proceed. The case never went to trial; instead, both sides agreed to settle. The defendants continue to deny all allegations of wrongdoing, and the settlement is not an admission of liability by anyone.

No distribution date had been announced as of November 7, 2026; the official Settlement Website is where distribution updates are posted.Your Options: Claim, Exclude Yourself, Object, or Do Nothing
Settlement Class Members had several choices, each with consequences. Every one of these deadlines has passed:• Submit a Claim Form — the only way to receive a payment. Deadline: August 17, 2026.
• Exclude yourself (opt out) — you receive no payment but keep the right to sue the defendants separately about the released claims. A written request with documentation of your SEDG transactions must be received by August 3, 2026. You cannot opt out by phone or email.
• Object — stay in the class but tell the Court in writing why you disagree with the settlement, the Plan of Allocation, or the fee request. Objections must be received by August 3, 2026.
• Do nothing — you receive no payment and, unless you opt out, you are still bound by the settlement and give up your right to sue over the released claims.
Attorneys' Fees and Expenses
Lead Counsel, Pomerantz LLP, asked the Court to award attorneys' fees of up to 25% of the Settlement Amount (up to $13,750,000), plus interest. The notice also described requests for reimbursement of litigation expenses of up to $750,000, compensatory awards to the plaintiffs of up to $230,000 in total, and up to $500,000 in notice and administration expenses. The Court could award less than these amounts, and any amounts approved come out of the Settlement Fund; SolarEdge's quarterly report does not state the amounts awarded. Collectively, those requested deductions are estimated to average roughly $0.57 per share.Watch Out for Settlement Scams
With any securities settlement, be cautious about how you file and who you share information with:• Use the official Settlement Website only: SolarEdgeSecuritiesLitigation.com. Bookmark it, and be wary of emails or texts linking to a similar-looking page on a different domain.
• Never pay a fee. Legitimate class action settlements never charge an activation, release, or processing fee to send you your money.
• Share only what is needed. The Claims Administrator needs your transaction documentation and contact details — not banking passwords or unrelated personal data.
• If you lost your notice or need help, use the contact form on the official Settlement Website rather than responding to unsolicited messages.
