You can exclude yourself from the Settlement by informing the Settlement Administrator that you want to “opt-out” of the Settlement by sending a personally signed written request for exclusion. If the Settlement becomes Final, this is the only option that allows you to retain your rights to individually sue for claims relating to the allegations in the complaint. You will not receive a payment from the Settlement if you exclude yourself. For detailed information about excluding yourself from the Settlement, see Question 27 of the FAQs.

You may object to the Settlement by writing to the Court about why you don’t think the Settlement should be approved. You can also write the Court to provide comments or reasons why you support the Settlement. For detailed information about how to object to or comment on the Settlement, see Question 21 of the FAQs.

You may, but are not required to, attend the Final Approval Hearing in the Rutherford County Circuit Court, where the Court will hear any oral arguments concerning the approval of the Settlement.
