UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA LOUNIBOS V. KEYPOINT GOVERNMENT SOLUTIONS, INC. CASE NO. 12-CV-0636-JST REMINDER AND CORRECTION TO PREVIOUS NOTICE OF PROPOSED CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT AND FINAL SETTLEMENT APPROVAL HEARING REMINDER You were previously provided with written notice regarding the settlement of the class action entitled Loubinos v. Keypoint Government Solutions, Inc., United States District Court case number 12-CV-0636-(JST). The Settlement Class includes all individuals employed as a non-exempt Investigator by Defendant KeyPoint Government Solutions, Inc. in the state of California during the period from June 1, 2009 through December 31, 2012. As set forth in the correspondence previously mailed to you, you may be entitled to monetary compensation under this Class Action Settlement. To receive a payment, you must complete and submit the Claim Form and mail it postmarked no later than May 9, 2014. A final approval hearing is scheduled in this case on July 24, 2014 (“Fairness Hearing”). Please check the settlement website at www.gilardi.com/Keypoint to confirm when, and if, the settlement is approved. For more information please visit the settlement website at www.gilardi.com/Keypoint, or contact Gilardi & Co. LLC, the Claims Administrator, at (877) 291-0433 if you need a claim form or have any other questions. If you have previously submitted your Claim Form, please disregard this notice. The deadline for submitting a Claim Form is May 9, 2014. CORRECTION TO PREVIOUS NOTICE The correspondence previously mailed to you incorrectly listed April 9, 2014, as the deadline for Class Members to both object to the settlement and to submit a “Notice of Intention to Appear” at the Fairness Hearing. The correct deadline to submit an objection and to file a “Notice of Intention to Appear” is May 9, 2014, which is also the same as the deadline to submit a Claim Form in order to participate in the settlement. The following sections from the earlier notice were incorrect and are set forth below in their entirety with the correct dates and deadlines: How do I object to the Settlement? Any member of the Settlement Class may object to the proposed Settlement, or any portion thereof, by a written objection, and supporting papers, mailed to the Court and the Claims Administrator no later than May 9, 2014. The Claims Administrator’s address is the following: United States District Court Northern District – San Francisco Division Attn: Clerk of the Court 450 Golden Gate Avenue San Francisco, CA 94102 Keypoint Settlement Claim Administrator c/o Gilardi & Co. LLC P.O. Box 8060 San Rafael, CA 94912-8060 A written objection must contain the objecting person’s full name, current address and specifically state all objections and the reasons therefore, and include any and all supporting papers (including, without limitation, all briefs, written evidence, and declarations). A Settlement Class member who desires to object but who fails to comply with the objection procedure set forth herein shall be deemed not to have objected. Any member of the Settlement Class who does not timely submit written objections shall not be permitted to present his, her, or its objections at the Court’s Fairness Hearing. Any Settlement Class member who submits an objection remains eligible to receive monetary compensation from the Settlement if he or she submits a timely and valid Claim Form. Only Settlement Class members who do not file a Request for Exclusion may file objections. What’s the difference between objecting and asking to be excluded? Objecting is simply telling the Court you do not like something about the Settlement. You can object only if you stay in the Settlement Class. Excluding yourself is telling the Court that you do not want to be part of the Settlement Class. If you exclude yourself, you will have no basis to object because the Settlement will no longer affect you. You will receive no money under the settlement if you exclude yourself. When and where will the Court decide whether to approve the settlement? The Court will hold a Final Approval Hearing on July 24, 2014 at 2:00 PM in Courtroom 9 (19th floor) at the San Francisco Courthouse of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, located at 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California 94102. The Hearing may be moved to a different date and/or time without additional notice. At this hearing, the Court will consider whether the settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate. If there are objections, the Court will consider them. The Court will only listen to people who have filed timely objections. The Court will also decide how much to pay Class Counsel for attorneys’ fees and costs and how much of an enhancement award to pay the Class Representative. After the Hearing, the Court will decide whether to approve the Settlement. We do not know how long these decisions will take. Do I have to come to the hearing? No. Class Counsel will answer any questions the judge may have. But, you are welcome to come at your own expense. If you send an objection, you don’t have to come to Court to talk about it. As long as you mailed your written objection on time, the Court will consider it. You may also pay another lawyer to attend, but it is not required. May I speak at the hearing? You may ask the Court for permission to speak at the Fairness Hearing. To do so, you must send a letter saying that it is your “Notice of Intention to Appear” in the Lounibos vs. KeyPoint, settlement. Be sure to include your name, address, telephone number, and your printed and signed name. Your Notice of Intention to Appear must be postmarked no later than May 9, 2014, and be sent to the Clerk of the Court and the Claims Administrator, at the addresses above. You cannot speak at the hearing if you excluded yourself, and you will not be able to speak unless you timely file a Notice of Intention to Appear or an Objection. If you have any questions or need more information about this settlement, please visit the settlement website at www.gilardi.com/Keypoint, or contact Gilardi & Co. LLC, the Claims Administrator, at (877) 291-0433.
