A class action lawsuit is pending out of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indian claiming Alawsuit class members received less than their fair and adequate percentage of the equity of Anthem Insurance. A $39.60 cash compensation payment was provided to class members for every share of Anthem Insurance. Class members claim that the price was kept artificially lower than it should have been priced resulting in them to loss out on a substantial amount of money.
