What Are My Options?

Do Nothing

You are not required to file a claim if you are entitled to a payment under the Settlement Agreement. If the Settlement is approved by the Court and you are a member of the Settlement Class, you will not need to file a claim to receive a Settlement payment if you are entitled to one.

Object to the Settlement

— Deadline: July 14, 2026

If you want to object to any part of the Settlement, you may write to the Court to explain why you object. Address your objection to Clerk of the Court, United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire, 55 Pleasant Street, Room 110, Concord, NH 03301. Your legal rights may be affected by the Settlement because all Settlement Class Members will release any claims they have related to the lawsuit and will be prohibited from bringing or pursuing any other lawsuits or other actions against Defendants.

Attend the Final Approval Hearing

— Scheduled: August 13, 2026

You may (but do not have to) attend the Final Approval Hearing about the Settlement. If the Court approves of the Settlement, you will get a share of the Settlement benefits to which you are entitled, regardless of whether you attend. If you submitted a timely written objection, you may talk to the Court about your objection at that hearing. You may attend the Final Approval Hearing even if you do not file a written objection, but you will be allowed to speak at the Final Approval Hearing only if you file a written objection by the Court-approved deadline AND you file a notice of intention to appear, as described in the answers to Question No. 16 in the Long Form Settlement Notice.
