YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OPTIONS IN THE SETTLEMENT: |
SUBMIT A CLAIM FORM POSTMARKED (IF MAILED), OR ONLINE, NO LATER THAN JUNE 8, 2020. | This is the only way to be eligible to receive a payment from the Settlement Fund. If you are a Settlement Class Member and you remain in the Settlement Class, you will be bound by the Settlement as approved by the Court and you will give up any Released Plaintiffs’ Claims (defined in paragraph 35 of the Notice) that you have against Defendants and the other Defendants’ Releasees (defined in paragraph 36 of the Notice), so it is in your interest to submit a Claim Form. |
DO NOTHING. | If you are a member of the Settlement Class and you do not submit a valid Claim Form, you will not be eligible to receive any payment from the Settlement Fund. You will, however, remain a member of the Settlement Class, which means that you give up your right to sue about the claims that are resolved by the Settlement and you will be bound by any judgments or orders entered by the Court in the Action |
