Certain Occidental Petroleum stockholders are being notified of a proposed $6-million settlement in a 6-year-old class-action lawsuit. The lawsuit claimed that the firm concealed information in the late 1970s that adversely affected the value of its stock. Terms of the previously announced settlement agreement--spelled out in an advertisement in today’s Times--call for the oil company to pay between 7 cents and 21 cents per share to certain stockholders.
