Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP: Notice of Entry of a Court Order Consolidating Related Securities Class Action Lawsuits Against Amazon.com, Inc. and Vacating the September 6, 2022 Deadline for Seeking Appointment as Lead Plaintiff

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP (“BLB&G”) issues this notice to alert investors that purchased or otherwise acquired shares of common stock of Amazon.com, Inc. (“Amazon” or the “Company”) between July 30, 2021 and April 28, 2022, inclusive, that, pursuant to an order issued by the Honorable John H. Chun of the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington (the “Court”) consolidating two cases with a related case where Lead Plaintiffs had been previously appointed (the “Consolidation Order”), the September 6, 2022 deadline for seeking appointment as Lead Plaintiff, has been vacated. The two securities class actions against Amazon and certain of the Company’s senior executives that were subject to the Court’s Consolidation Order are captioned Asbestos Workers Philadelphia Welfare and Pension Fund v. Amazon.com, Inc., No. 2:22-cv-934 (W.D. Wash.) (“Asbestos Workers”) and Detectives Endowment Association Annuity Fund v. Amazon.com, Inc., No. 2:22-cv-950 (W.D. Wash.) (“Detectives”).

On August 17, 2022, the Court entered the Consolidation Order, which consolidated Asbestos Workers and Detectives with an earlier-filed related securities class action captioned Joyce v. Amazon.com, Inc., No. 2:22-cv-617 (W.D. Wash.) (collectively with Asbestos Workers and Detectives, the “Consolidated Action”), indicating that “[n]o further appointment of Lead Plaintiff(s) pursuant to the [Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995] is warranted in Asbestos Workers, [or] Detectives,” and vacating the deadline for seeking appointment as Lead Plaintiff in those actions and any other future related actions.

The Consolidated Action is pending before the Honorable John H. Chun in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington. Additional information concerning the Amazon securities class action is available on the federal court dockets referenced above.
