YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OPTIONS IN THIS SETTLEMENT |
|
SUBMIT A PROOF OF CLAIM AND RELEASE |
The only way to be eligible to
receive a payment from the Settlement. Proofs of Claim and
Release must be postmarked (if mailed) or received (if submitted online) on
or before August 8, 2023. |
EXCLUDE YOURSELF FROM THE SETTLEMENT BY SUBMITTING A
WRITTEN REQUEST FOR EXCLUSION |
Get no payment. This is the
only option that potentially allows you to ever be part of any other lawsuit
against any of the Defendants or any other Released Defendant Parties about
the legal claims being resolved by this Settlement. Should you elect to
exclude yourself from the Class, you should understand that Defendants and
the other Released Defendant Parties will have the right to assert any and
all defenses they may have to any claims that you may seek to assert,
including, without limitation, the defense that any such claims are untimely
under applicable statutes of limitations and statutes of repose. Exclusions
must be received on or before July 10, 2023. |
OBJECT TO THE SETTLEMENT BY SUBMITTING A WRITTEN OBJECTION |
Write to the Court about why you
do not like the Settlement, the Plan of Allocation, and/or the request for
attorneys’ fees and expenses. Objections must be received on or
before July 18, 2023. |
GO TO THE HEARING ON AUGUST 8, 2023, AND FILE A NOTICE OF INTENTION TO APPEAR BY JULY 18, 2023. |
Ask to speak in Court about the
fairness of the Settlement. Requests to speak must be received
on or before July 18, 2023. If you submit a written objection, you
may (but you do not have to) attend the hearing. |
DO NOTHING |
Receive no payment. You will,
however, still be a Class Member, which means that you give up your right to
ever be part of any other lawsuit against the Defendants or any other
Released Defendant Party about the legal claims being resolved by this
Settlement and you will be bound by any judgments or orders entered by the
Court in the Litigation. |
