Why did Infosys share price rise today?

 

Infosys McCamish Systems LLC has received the final approval from the US court for its settlement agreement in a class-action lawsuit for an alleged data breach on December 18, Infosys said in an exchange filing. 

 

On March 13, Infosys McCamish and the plaintiffs, who were engaged in a mediation, had reached an agreement in principle, setting forth the terms of a proposed settlement of the class-action lawsuit against the company and its customers. Under the proposed scheme, McCamish was asked to pay $17.5 million into a fund to settle the matter. 

 

"On December 18, 2025, the court granted the final approval on the settlement. If the approved settlement agreement is not appealed within 30 days, it will become effective and resolve all allegations made in the class action lawsuit without admission of any liability," Infosys said in the exchange filing.
