Welcome to the In Re HCA Inc. Securities Litigation Website

Overview

In the Action, Lead Plaintiffs allege that HCA and members of its senior management made false statements and omitted material facts between January 12, 2005 and July 12, 2005 regarding the Company’s growth and viability, which had the effect of artificially inflating HCA’s stock price. Defendants deny all allegations of any wrongdoing in the Action.

If you are a Member of the Class, you are subject to the Settlement whether or not you submit a Claim Form, unless you timely request to be excluded. The Class consists of all Persons who purchased or otherwise acquired HCA common stock during the period January 12, 2005 through July 12, 2005, inclusive.

The Settlement provides for a recovery of $20,000,000 in cash, which will be deposited into an interest-bearing escrow account within three (3) calendar days after the Court enters an order finally approving the Settlement.

Lead Counsel intends to apply to the Court for an award of attorneys’ fees in an amount not to exceed 20% of the Settlement Fund net of Court-approved litigation expenses. If you purchased or otherwise acquired HCA common stock during the period from January 12, 2005 through and including July 12, 2005, and you are not excluded by the definition of the Class and do not elect to exclude yourself, then you are a Class Member, and you will be bound by the proposed Settlement provided for in the Stipulation, in the event it is approved by the Court, as well as by any judgment or determination of the Court affecting the Class. Unless otherwise provided by the Court, any Class Member who fails to submit a Claim Form postmarked no later than November 26, 2007 shall be forever barred from receiving any payments pursuant to the Settlement set forth in the Stipulation but will in all other respects be subject to the provisions of the Stipulation, including the terms of any judgments entered and the releases given.
