In re Laboratory Services Cooperative Data Breach Litigation

• This settlement concerns a Data Incident which may have exposed the Personal Information of LSC’s current and former patients and employees. LSC denies all claims alleged against it and denies all charges of wrongdoing or liability. The Settlement is not an admission
  of wrongdoing or an indication that LSC has violated any laws. Rather, the Plaintiffs and LSC (the “Parties”) have agreed to settle the class action lawsuit to avoid the uncertainties and expenses associated with ongoing litigation.

• The Court did not decide in favor of the Plaintiffs or the Defendant. The Parties have agreed to the Settlement to avoid the uncertainties and expenses associated with ongoing litigation, and to allow the Settlement Class Members to receive compensation sooner rather than, if at all, after the completion of a trial. The Plaintiffs and their attorneys think the Settlement is best for all Settlement Class Members.

• The Settlement Class is defined as: All U.S. residents whose Personal Information was potentially compromised as a result of the Data Incident which Defendant became aware of on or about October 27, 2024.

• The Settlement provides for the creation of a $6,100,000 Settlement Fund to pay for: (1) Notice and Administrative Expenses, (2) a Fee and Expense Award, as approved and awarded by the Court, (3) Service Awards, as approved and awarded by the Court, (4) documented Out-of-Pocket Losses to Settlement Class Members, (5) pro-rata cash fund payments to Settlement Class Members, and (6) Credit Monitoring and Medical Shield services to Settlement Class Members.

• In addition to these Settlement Benefits, Settlement Class Counsel will file a Fee and Expense Application for an award of attorneys’ fees to be paid from the Settlement Fund of up to one third of the Settlement Fund. Settlement Class Counsel will also seek an award for reimbursement of reasonable case costs and expenses actually incurred, in addition to any attorneys’ fee award. Settlement Class Counsel will also request Service Awards for each of the Settlement Class Representatives not to exceed $2,500 each (or $5,000 total) in recognition of their contributions to this case. The Court may award less than these amounts.
