EXCLUDING YOURSELF FROM THE DIRECT PURCHASER SETTLEMENT CLASS
If you want to keep the right to sue or continue to sue the Kemira and Chemtrade Settling Parties on your own about the legal issues being resolved by the Settlement, then you must take steps to get out of the Direct Purchaser Settlement Class. This is called excluding yourself - or sometimes referred to as “opting out.” If you opt out of the Direct Purchaser Settlement Class, you will not receive any payment from the Net Settlement Fund.
