<p style="text-align: justify;">In September of 2017, Equifax announced it experienced a data breach, which impacted the personal information of approximately 147 million people. A federal court approved a class action Settlement that
resolves lawsuits brought by consumers after the data breach. Equifax denied any wrongdoing and no judgment or finding of wrongdoing was made.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you are a Class Member, the deadline to file Initial Claims Period claim(s) for free credit monitoring or up to $125 cash payment and other cash reimbursement passed on January 22, 2020. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Settlement is now effective. If you requested a cash benefit during the Initial Claims Period, the amount you receive may be significantly reduced depending on how many valid claims are submitted by
other class members. Based on the number of potentially valid claims that have been submitted to date, payments for time spent and alternative compensation of up to $125 likely will be substantially lowered and will be distributed on a
proportional basis if the Settlement becomes effective. Depending on the number of valid claims filed, the amount you receive may be a small percentage of your initial claim.</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:18px;"><u><strong>Extended Claims Period Claims</strong></u></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you were impacted by the Equifax data breach, you may seek reimbursement for valid Out-of-Pocket losses or Time Spent
(<u>excluding losses of money and time associated with freezing or unfreezing credit reports or purchasing credit monitoring or identity theft protection</u>) incurred during the Extended Claims Period if you have not received reimbursement
for the claimed loss through other means.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To be eligible, your claim for Out-of-Pocket Losses or Time Spent must occur <strong>between January 23, 2020 and January 22, 2024</strong> (the “Extended Claims Period”).<br> </p>
