Indegene Reports Material Update as Subsidiary Litigation Nears Definitive Settlement​

Indegene Limited has provided an update on the ongoing class action lawsuit against its wholly-owned overseas subsidiary, Indegene, Inc., regarding alleged violations of the U.S. Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 1991 (TCPA). The matter, pending before the U.S. District Court in the District of New Jersey, has progressed significantly as parties concluded negotiations on a definitive settlement agreement.

The lawsuit, Progressive Health and Rehab Corp. v. Indegene, Inc. et al., relates to alleged TCPA violations concerning certain fax communications executed in February 2020. Following the court's certification of the class in July 2025 and the denial of a defendants' petition seeking appeal of that certification, the parties engaged in court-referred mediation and subsequent settlement negotiations.

The company confirmed that it has no further comments on the definitive settlement agreement following final clarifications from external counsel on August 18, 2026, and has authorized the agreement to proceed for execution. The settlement remains subject to execution by the relevant parties and approval of the U.S. District Court. Indegene Limited stated that the settlement does not constitute an admission of liability by the company or the defendants.

Litigation Details and Settlement Framework​

The case pertains to a certified class comprising approximately 18,851 unique fax numbers corresponding to 18,869 transmissions. The settlement framework introduces specific financial parameters and payment structures based on actual claims submitted.

Key details of the litigation and the proposed settlement are outlined below:

Status and Next Steps in Proceedings​

Since previous disclosures, the settlement has advanced from mediation and negotiation through finalization of the definitive agreement from Indegene’s perspective. The company noted that external counsel circulated the finalized agreement for execution, which followed the resolution of several points.

The agreed notice mechanics involve an initial fax notice, with U.S. First Class Mail planned if the fax notice is unsuccessful. Analytics has been identified as the settlement administrator at an estimated administration cost of approximately USD 42,559. The settlement does not require upfront funding or escrowing the maximum settlement fund; payments are contingent upon the Court-approved process and claims administration.

The next steps involve execution by all relevant parties, filing the settlement documentation with the Court, obtaining preliminary approval, conducting class notice and claims administration, and achieving final Court approval.

Regarding financial impact, while a maximum settlement fund of approximately USD 4.72 million has been established, the company stressed that this figure represents only a contractual maximum and not the expected cash outflow. Actual payments depend primarily on the number of valid claims submitted and approved, alongside court-approved counsel fees and administration costs.
