Under the Settlement, Defendant is making a Settlement Fund of $650,000.00 broken down into two parts: a Cash Fund in the amount of $486,165.42 and a Settlement Purchase Certificate Fund in the amount of $163,834.58 to compensate the claims of eligible Settlement Class Members and certain other fees and expenses. The Settlement Fund will be applied first to pay any compensation and costs to Lead Counsel, and Administrator fees and costs, as described in the Settlement Agreement. After those payments, the Settlement Fund will be applied to valid and timely claims submitted by Settlement Class Members. It is anticipated that the Settlement Fund will enable each eligible Settlement Class Member to submit a claim for, at the Class Memberās election, either a cash payment in the amount of $5 per tire purchased during the Class Period (where a TMPS Service Kit and/or tire recycling were also purchased), capped at $20, to reimburse Class Members for any TPMS and/or tire recycling charges paid, or, alternatively Class Members may elect to receive one $40 Purchase Certificate. In the event that the Settlement Fund, net of the payments described herein, is not sufficient to enable a payment of up to $20 cash or a $40 Purchase Certificate for each claim, the per-claim payment will be decreased in proportion to the total number of claims made and paid out on a pro-rata basis. If you are an eligible Settlement Class Member and wish to receive a cash payment or a Purchase Certificate, you must timely submit a Claim Form to the Claims Administrator as described below.
