LEGAL NOTICE OF PROPOSED CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT BY ORDER OF THE COURT YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO A REFUND IF YOU ARE: A Person or Entity who, between June 25, 2018 and January 18, 2022, either paid and/or were caused to reimburse monies as registration fees for the Vacant Properties Registration Programs in any of the following municipalities: Borough of Runnemede, Borough of Bellmawr, Borough of Barrington, Gloucester Township or Voorhees Township. The class excludes Persons or Entities who paid registration fees, but were subsequently reimbursed. WHAT IS THIS NOTICE ABOUT? This notice is to inform you about several class action lawsuits that were filed that were consolidated for settlement purposes under the lawsuit captioned Mary Peek et al. v. Borough of Runnemede et al, CAM-L-2419-24, filed in the Superior Court of Camden County, New Jersey (the “Action”). The Action alleges that all persons or entities who, between June 25, 2018 and January 18, 2022, either paid and/or were caused to reimburse monies as registration fees for the Vacant Properties Registration Program (“VPRP”) in Borough of Runnemede, Borough of Bellmawr, Borough of Barrington, Gloucester Township or Voorhees Township should be reimbursed or refunded because such VPRP fees are allegedly unconstitutional. Defendants deny Plaintiffs’ allegations and have asserted numerous defenses to Plaintiffs’ claims. Defendants do not admit wrongdoing or fault, or violation of the law. Defendants deny all allegations and claims asserted against them, but are settling the Litigation to avoid the risk, burden, uncertainty and expense of continued litigation. WHY SHOULD I READ THIS NOTICE? You may be a member of the Settlement Class. The parties have proposed a settlement of the Action (the “Settlement”), which has been preliminarily approved by the Court. If the Settlement receives final approval from the Court, your legal rights may be affected. This notice describes what the Action is about, explains the terms of the Settlement, tells you who would be covered and what legal claims would be resolved by the Settlement, and explains how members of the Settlement Class can obtain benefits under the Settlement, if approved by the Court.

Any Class Member who files a Valid Claim Form and submits proof of paying a VPRP fee will receive a Settlement Payment equal to a 60% refund of the VPRP fee(s) which that Settlement Class Member paid based on the total amount of any and all VPRP fees paid to Defendants as calculated using Defendants’ books and records. Proof of payment shall include, but not be limited to, cancelled checks, bank statements, receipt of payment, and credit card statements. In the event that the amount of refunds from the submission of Valid Claims Forms exceeds the Settlement Fund, the Settlement Class Members will receive a pro rata share of the Net Distributable Funds calculated based on the total number of claims filed by Class Members. Distribution of the Settlement Class Member awards shall be paid by the Settlement Administrator no later than (90) days after the Claim Deadline, December 14, 2026.

In addition, Defendants have agreed, subject to Court approval, to pay Class Counsel $250,000 in Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. This amount will be paid separately and not fromthe Settlement Fund and will not reduce the amount any Class Member may be entitled to receive.
