- The Court has appointed the Plaintiffs to represent the Elite Settlement Class and their attorneys as Class Counsel. This is a partial settlement of the Lawsuit and does 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 contact the Settlement Administrator at 1-888-999-5317 or [email protected] or by mail at the address listed in Question 13 to provide contact information 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 Elite Settlement Class of the proposed Elite Settlement and how to assert any rights you may have under the Settlement. It is also intended to advise you of a hearing to consider the proposed Settlements on June 10, 2026, at 10 a.m. The Court must decide whether to approve the Elite Settlement as fair, reasonable and adequate.
YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OPTIONS (YOU MUST CHOOSE AMONG ONE OF THESE OPTIONS)
- If you are a member of the Settlement Class (a “Class Member”), your legal rights are affected whether you act or choose not to act. Please read this Notice carefully.
DO NOTHING
If you chose to do nothing, you will remain eligible to receive any payments from the Settlement 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 Elite based on direct purchases from the Subject Plants during the Class Period. If you choose to do nothing, and the Elite Settlement is approved by the Court, you will be required to submit a Claim Form to receive money from the Settlements.
EXCLUDE YOURSELF
You may exclude yourself from the Elite Settlement, in which case you will not be eligible to receive any payments from the Settlement that are approved by the Court, or to comment on the Settlement. This is the only option that allows you to be part of any other lawsuit against Elite about the legal claims brought or which could be brought in this case.
OBJECT
Write to the Court if you do not think the Elite Settlement is fair. If you exclude yourself from the Elite Settlement, you may not object to the Elite Settlement.
GO TO A HEARING
If you object, you may also ask to speak in Court about the fairness of the Elite Settlement.
