Lands’ End Data Incident Settlement

You may claim the credit-monitoring benefit and choose one of the two cash options. The two cash options are alternatives, so you cannot receive both cash payments.

• Two years of CyEx Financial Shield Complete credit monitoring.
• One cash option: either reimbursement of qualifying documented losses up to $5,000, or an alternate one-time cash payment expected to be $60.

The documented-loss option can reimburse up to $5,000. Examples listed in the notice include identity-theft or fraud losses, certain credit-related fees, replacement identification costs, and postage for mailing banks.

Notes or papers you prepared yourself may help explain other evidence, but they cannot support a claim by themselves.

• The loss must have happened from December 6, 2024, through October 22, 2026.
• The loss must be an actual out-of-pocket loss caused by the data incident.
• You must provide records, such as bank statements or receipts, showing both the amount and its connection to the incident.
• You cannot claim expenses already repaid by someone else, such as a third party.

This option is available instead of the documented-loss payment. The notice calls the amount expected, rather than guaranteed.

• No proof or explanation is required for the alternate cash payment.
• The notice describes this as a one-time payment expected to be $60.
• You still need to submit a valid and timely Claim Form to receive it.

The notice says a Claim Form is required for every settlement benefit. You can request a paper form from the Settlement Administrator by phone, email, or mail if needed.

• You can submit a Claim Form online by October 22, 2026.
• You can also download and mail a form. A mailed form must be completed and signed, and it must be postmarked by October 22, 2026.
• For a documented-loss claim sent by mail, include the supporting documentation.

The notice offers two years of CyEx Financial Shield Complete. It does not say that you need to provide eligibility documents to enroll; it directs people who lost their code to contact the Administrator.

• Enrollment codes were sent to class members by postcard.
• If you no longer have your code, contact the Settlement Administrator.
• The service includes $1 million in financial fraud insurance and access to a fraud-resolution agent if suspicious activity occurs.

The final approval hearing is scheduled for November 6, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Central Time. That hearing is not a promise that benefits will be issued on that date.

• The Court must first grant final approval.
• An appeal could delay distribution if one is filed.
• The notice does not provide a specific payment date.

Opting out means leaving the settlement. You would receive no settlement benefit or payment, but you would keep any rights you may have to bring your own case about the legal issues involved.

• To leave the settlement, send a written Request for Exclusion by October 7, 2026.
• It must include the case name, your contact information, your personal signature, and a clear statement that you do not want to participate.
• You may submit it by mail or email; the notice provides the mailing address for exclusion requests.

An objection asks the Court not to approve some or all of the settlement. It is different from opting out, which removes you from the settlement.

• You must stay in the settlement to object; a person who opts out cannot object.
• File a complete objection with the Clerk of Court by October 7, 2026.
• Also send copies to the Settlement Administrator, Class Counsel, and Lands’ End’s counsel.
• The notice requires detailed identifying information, grounds for the objection, and your signature, along with other information listed in the notice.
