Defendant denies all claims alleged against it and denies all charges of wrongdoing or liability. The Settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing or an indication that Defendant has violated any laws, but rather the resolution of disputed claims. What is a class action? In a class action, one or more individuals sue on behalf of other people with similar claims. These individuals are known as “Plaintiffs” or “Class Representatives.” Together, the people included in the class action are called a “class” or “class members.” One court resolves the lawsuit for all class members, except for those who opt out of the Settlement. Why is there a Settlement? The Court did not decide in favor of Plaintiffs or Defendant. Plaintiffs and Defendant have agreed to a Settlement to avoid the costs and risks of a trial, and to allow the Settlement Class Members to receive benefits from the Settlement. Plaintiffs and their attorneys think the Settlement is best for all Settlement Class Members. How do I weigh my options? You have four options. You can stay in the Settlement and submit a claim, you can opt out of the Settlement, you can object to the Settlement, or you can do nothing. If you object to the Settlement, you can still obtain your settlement benefit, but you must file a claim to do so.
