The deadline for submission of claims has passed, processing of claims has been completed and the Court has approved the distribution of the Net Settlement Funds to Authorized Claimants pursuant to the Court-approved Plan of Allocation.

On August 12, 2011, distribution checks were mailed to all eligible Authorized Claimants, i.e., Authorized Claimants whose pro rata distribution amount was $10.00 or more.  As set forth in the Plan of Allocation, if an Authorized Claimant’s prorated payment calculated to less than $10, no distribution was made.

PLEASE NOTE:  The distribution amount is not the same as the Recognized Claim amount.  The Recognized Claim amount is the amount calculated under the formula set forth in the Plan of Allocation and was used to determine how the Net Settlement Funds were to be proportionately allocated to Authorized Claimants.  The distribution amount is an Authorized Claimant’s pro rata share of the Net Settlement Funds, based the amount of his, her or its Recognized Claim compared to the total amount of all Recognized Claims of Authorized Claimants to be paid from the Net Settlement Funds.
