- The Court has appointed the Plaintiffs to represent the Thomas and Evans Settlement Classes and their attorneys as Class Counsel. These are partial settlements of the Lawsuit and do not settle any claims against any other Defendants in the Lawsuit.
- If you received this Notice by U.S. Mail it is because records produced in the Lawsuit indicate you may be a member of the Settlement Class. If you did not receive a Notice by U.S. Mail, but believe you are a Settlement Class Member, you should complete a contact form on this website so that you can directly receive future communications about the Settlement and a Claim Form, and to receive communications about any future settlements or other significant developments in the Lawsuit.
- The purpose of this Notice is to advise members of the Settlement Classes of the proposed Thomas and Evans Settlements and how to assert any rights you may have under the Settlements. It is also intended to advise you of a hearing to consider the proposed Settlements on November 3, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. The Court must decide whether to approve each of the Settlements as fair, reasonable and adequate.
- If you are a member of the Settlement Classes (a “Class Member”), your legal rights are affected whether you act or choose not to act. Please read this Notice carefully.
YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OPTIONS: (YOU MUST CHOOSE AMONG ONE OF THESE OPTIONS)
These rights and options–and the deadlines to exercise them–are explained in this Notice.
EXCLUDE YOURSELF
You may exclude yourself from the Thomas Settlement or Evans Settlement, or both, in which case you will not be eligible to receive any payments from the Settlement(s) that are approved by the Court, or to comment on the Settlement(s). This is the only option that allows you to be part of any other lawsuit against Thomas or Evans about the legal claims brought or which could be brought in this case.
DO NOTHING
If you chose to do nothing you will remain eligible to receive any payments from the Settlements that are approved by the Court. This will result in a release of any right you may have to pursue the legal claims brought, or which could have been brought in this case, against Thomas or Evans based on direct purchases from the Subject Plants during the Class Period. If you choose to do nothing, and the Thomas Settlement and/or Evans Settlement are approved by the Court, you will be required to submit a Claim Form to receive money from the Settlements.
OBJECT
Write to the Court if you do not think the Thomas Settlement or Evans Settlement is fair. If you exclude yourself from a Settlement, you may not object to that Settlement.
GO TO A HEARING
If you object, you may also ask to speak in Court about the fairness of the Thomas or Evans Settlement.
