What happened
Zillow agreed to pay $212.5 million in cash to settle a class action lawsuit. The lawsuit accused the online real estate marketplace of misleading shareholders regarding its failed Zillow Offers home-flipping venture. Zillow did not admit wrongdoing in agreeing to the settlement, which requires judicial approval. The lawsuit began after Zillow's stock price fell 32% in November 2021.

Why it matters
The settlement represents a significant cash outflow for Zillow related to the failure of Zillow Offers. The decline in Zillow's stock price in 2021 followed the company's decision to close Zillow Offers, take a $304 million writedown, and lay off 25% of its workforce.
