What the filing says
Icahn Partners LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund LP, and Matsumura Fishworks LLC settled their Delaware class/derivative action against Illumina CEO Francis deSouza and eight directors over Illumina's August 2021 closure of its $8 billion GRAIL acquisition despite FTC/EU opposition. The settlement, dated June 18, 2026, provides mutual releases with no admission of fault; the action dismisses with prejudice as to these plaintiffs only, leaving three separate derivative actions by other pension funds unaffected. No monetary settlement amount is disclosed.
Why this rating
Settlement resolves one lawsuit but three derivative actions continue; $8B GRAIL deal (87% of Illumina's $9.2B market cap) already divested and EU fine reversed; reputational/legal risk partially reduced but material uncertainty remains.
