Settlement Approved

The firms of Nelligan O'Brien Payne and McPhadden Samac Merner Barry are pleased to announce that a settlement agreement has been executed by class counsel and has been presented to the court for its approval. THE AGREEMENT WAS APPROVED BY THE COURT ON JULY 22, 2008.


If the Class Member has PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED HIS OR HER CLAIM INFORMATION TO CLASS COUNSEL, he or she does not have to fill out this claim form (
Form 1) but, the CLAIMANT MUST STILL FILL OUT THE CONTACT INFORMATION UPDATE FORM (Form 2), and mail it to the Claims Administrator.
