NEW YORK, June 30, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTES

NOTICE TO CURRENT INSULET STOCKHOLDERS

On July 11, 2018, Insulet Corporation (“Insulet” or the “Company”), in its capacity as a nominal defendant, entered into a Stipulation of Settlement (the “Stipulation”) in the above-captioned shareholder derivative action—in which two derivative actions were consolidated—filed derivatively on behalf of Insulet, in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts (the “Court”) against certain current and former directors and officers of the Company and against the Company as a nominal defendant (the “Derivative Action”). The Stipulation and the settlement contemplated therein (the “Settlement”), subject to the approval of the Court, is intended by the Settling Parties1 to fully, finally, and forever compromise, resolve, discharge, and settle the Released Claims and to result in the complete dismissal of the Derivative Action with prejudice, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Stipulation. The proposed Settlement requires the Company to adopt certain additional corporate governance measures and procedures, as outlined in Exhibit A to the Stipulation, and provides that the Demand made by Plaintiff Walker was a consideration in the Company’s implementation of the Quality Reforms outlined in Exhibit B to the Stipulation. In exchange, Defendants agree to pay, or cause to be paid, a Fee and Expense Award to Plaintiffs’ Counsel of four hundred twenty-five thousand dollars ($425,000.00) and Service Awards to each of two Plaintiffs of two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500.00) to be paid from the Fee and Expense Award, subject to Court approval. This notice is a summary only and does not describe all of the details of the Stipulation. For full details of the matters discussed in this summary, please see the Stipulation posted on the “Investors” section of Company’s website, www.insulet.com, contact Plaintiffs’ Counsel at the address listed below, or inspect the Stipulation and its exhibits filed with the Clerk of the Court.
