Facebook Inc and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg have reached a US$35mil (RM136.93mil) settlement of class-action litigation accusing them of hiding worries about the social media company's growth prior to its May 2012 initial public offering.

The settlement was filed on Monday in the federal court in Manhattan and won preliminary approval from US District Judge Robert Sweet.
