The $30M settlement removes one of three putative classes but leaves the larger DPP and NCSP claims unresolved. Monitor for court preliminary approval decision and any updates on remaining class action exposure. The company's cash position is adequate per its own statement, but the unresolved claims create ongoing overhang.
