The latest update is out from Getty Images Holdings ( (GETY) ).

On October 27, 2023, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York entered judgment against Getty Images Holdings in litigation brought by Alta Partners and CRCM Institutional Master Fund over the treatment of certain public warrants, awarding approximately $36.9 million in damages to Alta and $51.0 million to CRCM, plus pre-judgment interest, while ruling in Getty Images’ favor on other claims involving additional warrants Alta bought later in the market. On January 15, 2026, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed the lower court’s decision in all respects, leaving the damages award intact; Getty Images had already recorded a litigation loss in 2023 and set up a reserve covering the full amount of the judgment and related interest, limiting additional financial impact but underscoring ongoing legal and financial scrutiny around its warrant-related obligations.
