Question 2

What is this lawsuit about?

Accepted Answer

Question 3

What is this a class action?

Accepted Answer

In a class action lawsuit, one or more individuals (called the “Plaintiffs” or
“Class Representatives”) bring claims on behalf of a larger group of people who
have similar claims (the “Settlement Class” or “Settlement Class Members”). The
Court resolves the claims for all Settlement Class Members, except for those who
choose to exclude themselves from the Settlement Class. Under the Settlement,
members of the Settlement Class who do not exclude themselves from the
Settlement are referred to as “Settlement Class Members.”

Question 4

Why is there a Settlement?

Accepted Answer

The Plaintiffs and the Defendants disagree over the legal claims made in this
Action. The Action has not gone to trial, and the Court has not decided in favor
of the Plaintiffs or Defendants (collectively referred to as the “Parties”).
Instead, the Parties have agreed to settle the Action after considering the
risks and uncertainties of continuing the lawsuit, and all factors related to
the Settlement. The Parties believe that this Settlement is fair, reasonable,
adequate, and in the best interests of themselves and the Settlement Class.

Question 5

How do I know if I am part of the Settlement?

Accepted Answer

The Settlement Class includes all living individuals in the United States whose
Private Information was potentially accessed in the Data Security Incident.
