Important Dates and Deadlines

You can ask the Court to deny approval of the Settlement and/or the Motion for Attorneys’ Fees and Costs of Class Counsel or the Case Contribution Awards to be requested for the Class Representatives by filing an objection. You cannot ask the Court to order a different settlement; the Court can only approve or reject the Settlement. If the Court denies approval, no settlement payments will be sent out, and the lawsuit will continue. If that is what you want to happen, you must object. For more information, please refer to FAQ 16. 

Former Accounts: If you are a Former Participant or a Beneficiary or an Alternate Payee of a Former Participant and you do not have an Active Account in the Plan, you must submit a Former Participant Claim Form by the submission deadline in order to be eligible for payment under the Settlement. “Former Participant” means a member of the Settlement Class who does not have an Active Account (i.e., a balance greater than $0) as of September 11, 2025. If you are a Former Participant or a Beneficiary or Alternate Payee of a Former Participant and you do not have an Active Account in the Plan, and you want to receive any monetary benefits from the Settlement, you must submit the Former Participant Claim Form by no later than [75 DAYS AFTER ENTRY OF PRELIMINARY APPROVAL ORDER]. You must mail the Former Participant Claim Form to the address shown on the Form. A Former Participant Claim Form will be deemed submitted when it is actually received by the Settlement Administrator at the address listed in the Former Participant Claim Form. Even if you do not submit a Former Participant Claim Form, you will be bound by the Settlement.
