Fujitsu 401(k) Settlement Notes
- Jerry Johnson, et al., v. Fujitsu Technology and Business of America, Inc., et al.
- Case No. 5:16- cv-03698 NC
- Pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
This class action lawsuit stems from allegations that Fujitsu Technology and Business of America Inc. failed to prudently and loyally control the Fujitsu Group Defined Contribution and 401(k) Plan costs and failed to manage the Plan’s investments in the best interests of Plan participants and beneficiaries,, breaching their fiduciary under ERISA.
“Defendants’ failure to prudently evaluate and manage the Plan’s recordkeeping and administrative fees, failure to implement and utilize a prudent process for selecting and monitoring the Plan’s investments in a cost-conscious manner, and their imprudent design, implementation, and monitoring of the Plan’s custom target-date funds, together constitute breaches of their fiduciary duties of prudence and loyalty,” the Fujitsu 401(k) class action alleges.
Both Fujitsu and BOA deny the claims and any liability, asserting that the Class or the Plan has not suffered any harm or damage. However, the defendants agreed settle to the tune of $14 million to avoid the uncertainty of further litigation. Complete details about the case and settlement are provided on the Fujitsu 401(k) Settlement website.
