Basic Information
1. Why was this Notice issued?
A Court authorized this notice because you have a right to know about a proposed Settlement of this class
action lawsuit and about all of your options, before the Court decides whether to give final approval to the
Settlement. This Notice explains the lawsuit, the Settlement, and your legal rights.
The Honorable George A. Pagano of the Court of Common Pleas of Delaware County, Pennsylvania, is
overseeing this case. The case is called DeLong v. Sportsman’s Guide, LLC, Case No. CV-25-000911. The
person who sued is called the Plaintiff or Class Representative. The Defendant is Sportsman’s Guide, LLC.
2. What is a class action?
In a class action, one or more people called the class representative (in this case, Flint DeLong) sue on behalf
of a group or a “class” of people who have similar claims. In a class action, the court resolves the issues for
all class members, except for those who exclude themselves from the Class. The parties have agreed and the
Court has preliminarily decided that this lawsuit can proceed as a class action for settlement purposes only.
3. What is this lawsuit about?
This lawsuit alleges that Defendant violated the WESCA and the UFA by disclosing information pertaining to
firearm purchases on its website to third parties without consent. Defendant denies all allegations, denies
any wrongdoing or liability, and maintains that it complied with the law at all times. The Court did not resolve
the claims and defenses raised in this action. Rather, the Parties have agreed to settle the lawsuit to avoid
the uncertainties and expenses associated with ongoing litigation.
4. Why is there a Settlement?
The Court has not decided whether the Plaintiff or the Defendant should win this case. Instead, both sides
agreed to a Settlement. That way, they avoid the uncertainties and expenses associated with ongoing
litigation, and Class Members will get compensation sooner rather than, if at all, after the completion of a
trial. The Settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing by Defendant and does not imply that there has been,
or would be, any finding that Defendant violated the law.

The Court has already preliminarily approved the Settlement Agreement. Nevertheless, because the
settlement of a class action determines the rights of all members of the settlement class, the Court
overseeing this lawsuit must give final approval to the Settlement Agreement before it can be effective. The
Court has conditionally certified the Settlement Class for settlement purposes only, so that members of the
Settlement Class can be given this notice and the opportunity submit a Claim Form, object, or to exclude
themselves from the Settlement Class. If the Court does not grant final approval of the Settlement, or if it is
terminated by the Parties, the Settlement Agreement will be void, and the lawsuit will proceed as if there had
been no settlement and no certification of the Settlement Class.
Who is in the Settlement?
5. How do I know if I am in the Settlement Class?
The Settlement Class, which has been conditionally certified by the Court for settlement purposes only, is
defined as:
All persons residing in Pennsylvania who ordered or reserved a firearm online from
www.sportsmansguide.com from January 11, 2021, to and through July 7, 2026.
You will be considered a member of the Settlement Class unless you timely file a valid exclusion request.
To receive any compensation, you must submit a timely valid Claim Form.
The Settlement Benefits
6. What does the Settlement provide?
MONETARY RELIEF: If approved, a Settlement Fund will be created totaling up to $1,015,000.00.
Settlement Class Member payments, and the cost to administer the settlement, the cost to inform people
about the settlement, attorneys’ fees (inclusive of litigation costs), and a service award to the Class
Representative will come out of this fund (see Question 13).
A detailed description of the settlement benefits can be found in the Settlement Agreement.

7. How much will my payment be?
You must submit a Claim Form (see instructions below) to receive a share of the Settlement Fund. If you are
a member of the Settlement Class and submit a valid and timely Claim Form, you will receive up to a $145
payment. This award may be subject to pro rata adjustment depending on the number of valid claims that are
filed.
8. When will I get my payment?
The hearing to consider the fairness of the settlement is scheduled for October 28, 2026. If the Court
approves the settlement, eligible Class Members whose claims were approved by the Settlement
Administrator will be mailed their payments by check within 30 days after the Settlement Agreement has been
finally approved and/or any appeals process is complete. The payment will be made in the form of a check,
Venmo, PayPal, or Zelle, at your election, and will expire and become void 90 days after issuance if not cashed
prior to that date.
How to get Benefits

Remaining in the Settlement
10. What am I giving up if I stay in the Class?
If the Court approves the proposed Settlement Agreement and the Settlement Agreement becomes final, the
Court will enter a judgment that will dismiss the Action with prejudice on the merits as to all members of the
Settlement Class who do not exclude themselves by timely submitting a valid request for exclusion (see
Question 14, below). This means that members of the Settlement Class who do not exclude themselves will
be barred from bringing their own lawsuits for recovery against Defendant and Released Parties related to the
DeLong v. Sportsman’s Guide, LLC Page 5 of 9
CaseID: 9598
Questions? Call (833) 421-7356 Toll-Free or Visit www.SportsmansGuideUFAsettlement.com
Released Claims. Giving up your legal claims is called a release. The precise terms of the release are in the
Settlement Agreement, which is available on the website identified above. Unless you formally exclude
yourself from this Settlement, you will release your claims. If you have any questions, you can talk for free to
the attorneys identified below who have been appointed by the Court to represent the Settlement Class, or
you are welcome to talk to any other lawyer of your choosing at your own expense.
11. What happens if I do nothing at all?
If you are a member of the Settlement Class and do nothing, you will be included in the Settlement Class, but
receive no benefits. You will be bound by the Court’s judgment and dismissal, and will release claims against
Defendant and Released Parties relating to the allegations in this case.
The Lawyers Representing You
12. Do I have a lawyer in the case?
The Court has appointed Philip L. Fraietta and Stephen A. Beck of Bursor & Fisher, P.A. to be the attorneys
representing the Settlement Class. They are called “Class Counsel.” They believe, after conducting an
extensive investigation, that the Settlement Agreement is fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of the
Settlement Class. You will not be charged for these lawyers. If you want to be represented by your own lawyer
in this case, you may hire one at your expense.
13. How will the lawyers be paid?
Class Counsel’s attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses will be paid from the Settlement Fund in an amount
determined and awarded by the Court. Class Counsel is entitled to seek no more than one-third of the
Settlement Fund, but the Court may award less than this amount.
As approved by the Court, the Class Representative will be paid a Service Award from the Settlement Fund
for helping to bring and settle the case. The Class Representative is entitled to seek $5,000 as a service award,
but the Court may award less than this amount.
Excluding Yourself from the Settlement
14. How do I get out of the Settlement?
To exclude yourself from the Settlement, you must mail or deliver a “request for exclusion” stating that you
want to be excluded from the DeLong v. Sportsman’s Guide, LLC, Case No. CV-25-000911 settlement. Your
request for exclusion must also include your name, your address, your personal signature, the name and
number of this case, and a statement that you wish to be excluded. If you exclude yourself, you will not receive
any benefits from this Settlement, but you will not release any claims you may have against Defendant.
You must mail or deliver your exclusion request no later than September 21, 2026, to:

15. What happens if I don’t exclude myself?
If you do not exclude yourself, you will release all Released Claims against Defendant and the Released
Parties.
16. If I exclude myself, can I get anything from this Settlement?
No. If you exclude yourself, do not submit a Claim Form to ask for benefits.
Objecting to the Settlement
17. How do I object to the Settlement?
If you’re a Settlement Class Member who has not requested to be excluded from the Settlement Agreement,
you can object to the Settlement. You can give reasons why you think the Court should not approve it. The
Court may consider your views. To object, you must file with the Court a letter or brief stating that you object
to the Settlement in DeLong v. Sportsman’s Guide, LLC, Case No. CV-25-000911 and identify all your reasons
for your objections (including citations and supporting evidence) and attach any materials you rely on for your
objections. Your letter or brief must also include your name and address, an explanation of the basis upon
which you claim to be a Settlement Class Member, the name and contact information of any and all attorneys
representing, advising, or in any way assisting you in connection with your objection, a statement indicating
whether you intend to appear at the Final Approval Hearing (yourself or through counsel), a statement
indicating whether you have received any payment in exchange for making your objection, and your personal
signature. If you, or an attorney assisting you with your objection, have ever objected to any class action
settlement where you or the objecting attorney has asked for or received payment in exchange for dismissal
of the objection (or any related appeal) without modification to the settlement, you must include a statement
in your objection identifying each such case by full case caption. You must also mail or deliver a copy of your
letter or brief to Class Counsel and Defendant’s Counsel listed below.
Class Counsel will file with the Court and post on this website its request for attorneys’ fees by
September 7, 2026.
If you want to appear and speak at the Final Approval Hearing about your objection to the Settlement, with or
without a lawyer (explained below in answer to Question Number 21), you must say so in your letter or brief.
If you do intend to attend the Final Approval Hearing (yourself or through counsel), you must also identify any
witnesses you may call at the Hearing within your objection, as well as any exhibits you intend to introduce
as evidence, which must be included with your written objection submitted to the Court. File the objection
with the Court and mail a copy to these two different places postmarked no later than September 21, 2026.
Settlement Class Members who do not timely make their objections in this manner will be deemed to have
waived all objections and shall not be heard or have the right to appeal the approval of the Settlement
Agreement.

17. What is the difference between objecting and excluding?
Objecting simply means telling the Court that you do not believe the Settlement Agreement should be
approved. You can object only if you stay in the Class. Excluding yourself from the Class is telling the Court
that you don’t want to be part of the Class. If you exclude yourself, you have no basis to object because the
case no longer affects you.
The Court’s Final Approval Hearing
19. When and where will the Court decide whether to approve the Settlement?
The Court will hold the Final Approval Hearing at 9:00 a.m. on October 28, 2026, at the Delaware County
Courthouse, 201 West Front Street Media, PA 19063. The purpose of the hearing will be for the Court to
determine whether to approve the Settlement as fair, reasonable, adequate, and in the best interests of the
Class; to consider the Class Counsel’s request for attorneys’ fees and expenses; and to consider the request
for a service award to the Class Representative. At that hearing, the Court will be available to hear any
objections and arguments concerning the fairness of the Settlement.
The hearing may be postponed to a different date or time without notice, so it is a good idea to check
www.PASportsmansGuideUFAsettlement.com or call 1-646-837-7150 or 1-833-421-7356. If, however, you
timely objected to the Settlement and advised the Court that you intend to appear and speak at the Final
Approval Hearing, you will receive notice of any change in the date of such Final Approval Hearing.
20. Do I have to come to the hearing?
No. Class Counsel will answer any questions the Court may have. But, you are welcome to come at your own
expense. If you send an objection or comment, you don’t have to come to Court to talk about it. As long as
you filed and mailed your written objection on time and in a proper manner, the Court will consider it. You
may also pay another lawyer to attend, but it’s not required.
21. May I speak at the hearing?
Yes. You may ask the Court for permission to speak at the Fairness Hearing. To do so, you must include in
your letter or brief objecting to the settlement a statement saying that it is your “Notice of Intent to Appear in
DeLong v. Sportsman’s Guide, LLC, Case No. CV-25-000911.” It must include your name and address, an
explanation of the basis upon which you claim to be a Settlement Class Member, the name and contact
information of any and all attorneys representing, advising, or in any way assisting you in connection with your
objection, a statement indicating whether you have received any payment in exchange for making your
objection, and your personal signature. If you do intend to attend the Final Approval Hearing (yourself or
through counsel), you must also identify any witnesses you may call at the Hearing within your objection, as
well as any exhibits you intend to introduce as evidence, which must be included with your written objection
submitted to the Court. Your objection and notice of intent to appear must be filed with the Court and
postmarked no later than September 21, 2026, and be sent to the addresses listed in Question 17.
