All Persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Mesa securities pursuant and/or traceable to Mesa’s initial public offering (“IPO”) commenced on or about August 9, 2018 and were damaged thereby.
Please read the Notice to fully understand your rights and options. Copies of the Notice and Claim Form can be found on the menu at the top of this page.
