What happened
This proposed class action alleges that WPP Group USA, Inc. and the Administrative and Investment Committee of the Savings and Investment Plan breached their fiduciary duties under ERISA by imprudently allocating forfeited plan assets and failing to monitor the plan's management. The plaintiffs, apparently plan participants, seek relief on behalf of the plan and similarly situated participants. These are allegations in a lawsuit and have not been proven.
