If you participated in or were a beneficiary of the GWA, LLC 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (F/K/A the George Weiss Associates, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan) at any time from July 24, 2017 – present, you are a part of a class action settlement.

A Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against George A. Weiss (“Weiss”) and GWA, LLC (“GWA”) (together, the “Defendants”). The class action lawsuit involves whether Defendants complied with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) in managing the Plan and retaining certain Disputed Investments affiliated with GWA

The Court still must decide whether to give its Final Approval to the Settlement. Payments under the Settlement will be made only if the Court finally approves the Settlement and that Final Approval is upheld in the event of any appeal.
