THE SETTLEMENT APPROVAL HEARING:

Hearings to approve the settlements will be held before the Ontario, British Columbia and Quebec courts on January 24, 2013 at 10am PST /1pm EST.

At these hearings, the Ontario, British Columbia and Quebec courts will determine whether the settlements are fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of Settlement Class members and what fees and expenses will be paid to legal counsel for the Settlement Class (“Class Counsel”) as a result of these settlements. Class Counsel will collectively be requesting that legal fees of up to 30% of the settlement funds plus disbursements and applicable taxes be approved by the courts and paid out of the settlement funds.

If you do not oppose the proposed settlements, you do not need to appear at the hearings or take any other action at this time. If you wish to comment on or object to the settlements or Class Counsel’s fees and expenses, you must deliver a written submission to the appropriate lawyer below by January 22, 2013. The lawyer will forward any submissions to the appropriate Court.

The plaintiffs propose to hold the settlement funds in trust for the future benefit of Settlement Class members. A method for distributing the settlement funds will be submitted to the courts for approval at a later time. Once the courts have approved the method for distributing the settlement funds, another notice will be provided regarding how the settlement funds will be distributed and the claims process.

OPTING OUT:

The deadline for opting out of (excluding yourself from) the DRAM Proceedings has passed. Settlement Class members who have not validly opted out are bound by the terms of the settlement agreements (if approved by the courts).
