Avis Data Security Incident Settlement: What Class Members Could Claim

Can I request both out-of-pocket losses and the pro rata cash payment?

• You can request both benefits in the same claim. The cash payment is available whether or not you also seek out-of-pocket-loss reimbursement.
• The two benefits are not fixed alternatives. Any cash payment comes from what remains after valid out-of-pocket-loss claims and specified settlement costs are paid.

What must I show to request reimbursement for out-of-pocket losses?

• The loss must be actual, documented, and not already reimbursed.
• It must be more likely than not connected to the data security incident and must have occurred from August 3, 2024 through the claim deadline.
• You must have made reasonable efforts to prevent the loss or get repaid, including using available credit-monitoring and identity-theft insurance.
• You must submit the supporting records requested on the Claim Form. A claim without those records will be denied.

How will the pro rata cash payment be calculated, and do I need documents for it?

• No dollar amount is promised for this payment.
• After the listed deductions, the remaining money for class-member benefits will be divided on a pro rata basis among Settlement Class Members who submit valid claims. In practical terms, the amount depends on the money remaining and the number of valid claims.
• The notice specifically requires supporting documents for an out-of-pocket-loss request. It does not state a separate additional document requirement for the pro rata cash payment, but it says to follow the Claim Form instructions and provide any documentation the form requires.

Who is excluded from the Settlement Class?

• The settlement excludes Avis directors and officers, the assigned judge, that judge’s immediate family and court staff.
• It also excludes a person found criminally guilty of causing, helping cause, initiating, or aiding the incident, or who pleaded nolo contendere (no contest) to such a charge.

What do I need to do to make a claim?

• You must submit a Claim Form to receive either type of cash benefit. The Claims Administrator will review claims.
• You may file online or mail the form to the Claims Administrator. Read the form instructions and include any required documentation.
• An online claim must be submitted by June 21, 2026. A mailed claim must be postmarked by that date.

What happens if I do nothing?

• You will not receive money from this settlement.
• If the settlement is approved, you will give up the right to sue Avis and the other released persons for the claims resolved by this case.

How do I exclude myself, and what does that change?

• To leave the settlement, send an individually signed written request that clearly says you want to be excluded.
• Mail it to the exclusions address in the notice. It must be postmarked by May 22, 2026.
• If you exclude yourself, you cannot receive settlement benefits or object to the settlement. You will not be bound by the case and keep the right to bring your own lawsuit about the claims this settlement resolves.

How can I object to the settlement?

• An objection means staying in the class but asking the Court not to approve some or all of the settlement. You may object only if you remain in the Settlement Class.
• Your written objection must be filed with the Court electronically or in person, or mailed to the Clerk of the Court, by May 22, 2026. The notice lists required identifying information, reasons for the objection, certain information about prior class-action objections, whether you or your lawyer plan to appear, and a signature.
• Leaving the settlement is different: a person who excludes themself cannot object.

Do I need to attend the Final Fairness Hearing, or can I speak there?

• The hearing is scheduled for July 28, 2026, at 11:00 a.m., at the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, 50 Walnut Street, Newark, New Jersey.
• You do not have to attend. The Court will consider timely, properly submitted written objections even if the objector does not attend.
• To speak at the hearing, you must request permission by filing an objection that follows the notice’s requirements. You may not speak if you excluded yourself.
