DaVita Securities Litigation

If you purchased or otherwise acquired common stock of DaVita Inc. (“DaVita” or the “Company”) during the time period between February 26, 2015 and October 6, 2017, inclusive, and were damaged thereby, you may be entitled to receive a payment under the proposed settlement of a securities class action lawsuit.

Please be advised that the Court-appointed Lead Plaintiffs, Peace Officers’ Annuity and Benefit Fund of Georgia and Jacksonville Police and Fire Pension Fund (“Lead Plaintiffs”), on behalf of themselves and the proposed Settlement Class (as defined in the Notice), have reached a settlement of the Action for $135,000,000.00 in cash that will resolve all claims in the Action (the “Settlement”).

PLEASE READ THE NOTICE CAREFULLY. The Notice explains important rights you may have, including the possible receipt of cash from the Settlement. If you are a member of the Settlement Class, your legal rights will be affected whether or not you act.

Your Legal Rights and Options in This Action

SUBMIT A CLAIM FORM POSTMARKED NO LATER THAN MARCH 20, 2021	This is the only way to be potentially eligible to receive a payment from the Settlement Fund. If you are a Settlement Class Member and you remain in the Settlement Class, you will be bound by the Settlement as approved by the Court and you will give up any Released Plaintiffs’ Claims (defined in the Notice) that you have against Defendants and the other Defendant Releasees (defined in the Notice).
EXCLUDE YOURSELF FROM THE SETTLEMENT CLASS BY SUBMITTING A WRITTEN REQUEST FOR EXCLUSION SO THAT IT IS RECEIVED NO LATER THAN FEBRUARY 16, 2021	If you exclude yourself from the Settlement Class, you will not be eligible to receive any payment from the Settlement Fund. This is the only option that allows you to ever be part of any other lawsuit against DaVita and the other Defendant Releasees about the Released Claims.
OBJECT TO THE SETTLEMENT BY FILING AND SUBMITTING A WRITTEN OBJECTION POSTMARKED NO LATER THAN FEBRUARY 16, 2021	If you do not like the Settlement, the Plan of Allocation, or the request for attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of Litigation Expenses, you may write to the Court and explain why you do not like them. You cannot object to the Settlement, the Plan of Allocation, or the fee and expense request unless you are a Settlement Class Member and did not exclude yourself from the Settlement Class.
GO TO A HEARING ON MARCH 30, 2021 AT 10:00 A.M.	Filing a written objection and notice of intention to appear by February 16, 2021, allows you to speak in Court, at the discretion of the Court, about the fairness of the proposed Settlement, the Plan of Allocation, or the request for attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of Litigation Expenses. If you submit a written objection, you may (but you do not have to) attend the hearing and, at the discretion of the Court, speak to the Court about your objection.
DO NOTHING	If you are a member of the Settlement Class and you do not submit a valid Claim Form, you will not be eligible to receive any payment from the Settlement Fund. You will, however, remain a member of the Settlement Class, which means that you give up your right to sue about the claims that are resolved by the Settlement and you will be bound by any judgments or orders entered by the Court in the Action.
