Certification of the Settlement Class For purposes of this Settlement only, the Parties stipulate to the certification of the Settlement Class, which is contingent upon the Court entering the Final Approval Order and Judgment of this Settlement and the occurrence of the Effective Date.
What Does The Settlement Provide Under the Settlement, McKinsey or its insurers will pay $39,500,000 into a Qualified Settlement Fund to resolve the claims of the Class. The Net Settlement Amount (after deduction of any Court- approved Attorneys’ Fees and Costs, Administrative Expenses, and Class Representative Compensation) will be allocated to Class Members according to a Plan of Allocation to be approved by the Court (as explained further at Question 5 below). Allocations to Current Participants who are entitled to a distribution under the Plan of Allocation will be made into their existing accounts in the Plans. Authorized Former Participants who are entitled to a distribution may receive their distribution as a check or, if available and they elect, as a rollover to a qualified retirement account. In addition, the Settlement provides that prospectively as of the Settlement Effective Date: (1) for a period of no less than three years, Defendants shall retain an independent investment consultant to provide ongoing review of the investment options in the Plan, and review and approve any communications to participants regarding the Plans’ investment options; (2) for a period of no less than three years, all expense reimbursements by the Plans to McKinsey, MIO, or any other affiliated person or entity will be reviewed and approved by an independent fiduciary, who shall have final discretion to approve or reject reimbursements; and (3) before the expiration of the current recordkeeping agreement for the Plans, McKinsey will issue a request for proposal for recordkeeping services for the Plan. All Class Members and anyone claiming through them will fully release the Plans as well as Defendants and the Released Parties from Released Claims. The governing release terms are found within the Settlement Agreement, which is available at [xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx]. Generally, the release means that Class Members will not have the right to sue the Plans, Defendants, or related parties for conduct during the Class Period arising out of or relating to the allegations in the lawsuit. The entire Settlement Agreement is available at [xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx].
EXCLUDING YOURSELF FROM THE SETTLEMENT If you don’t want benefits from this settlement, but you want to keep the right to sue or continue to sue Ally on your own about the legal issues in this case, then you must take steps to get out of the settlement. This is called “excluding” yourself—or is sometimes called “opting out” of the Class.
EXECUTION OF SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT 37. This Settlement Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts which together shall constitute a binding agreement.
The Settlement The Settlement was reached on May 11, 2018. Class Counsel filed this action on May 10, 2018. Over two years prior to the filing of this action, Class Counsel and Defendant’s Counsel conducted an adversarial informal discovery process. Class Counsel reviewed and analyzed thousands of pages of documents provided by Defendant and also reviewed many other documents, including U.S. Department of Labor Forms 5500 and other publicly available documents. The Parties participated in mediation before a nationally recognized mediator who has extensive experience in resolving similar claims involving other 401(k) plans. Only after six months of extensive arm’s length negotiation following the mediation were the parties able to agree to the terms of the Settlement. As part of the Settlement, a Qualified Settlement Fund of $17,000,000 will be established to resolve the Class Action. The Net Settlement Amount is $17,000,000 minus any Administrative Expenses, taxes, tax expenses, Court-approved Attorneys’ Fees and Costs, Class Representatives’ Compensation, and other approved expenses of the litigation. The Net Settlement Amount will be allocated to Class Members according to a Plan of Allocation to be approved by the Court. In addition to the monetary component of the Settlement, the Parties to the Settlement have agreed to certain additional terms: (1) During the first eighteen months (18) following the final approval of the Settlement, Defendant has agreed that the Plan’s fiduciaries will conduct a Request for Proposal (“RFP”) process for recordkeeping services to the Plan; (2) Within the first year following final approval of the Settlement, Defendant has agreed to publish a communication to then current Plan participants explaining the risks and benefits of the Plan’s money market fund investment option; (3) Defendant also will use an independent consultant familiar with fixed income investment options in defined contribution plans who will review the investment lineup and make recommendations to the Plan’s fiduciaries regarding whether to retain the money market fund and whether to add a stable value or comparable fund; (4) In addition, during the three- year Settlement period, Defendant has agreed to provide Class Counsel a list of the Plan’s investment options and fees; and (5) In considering investment options for the Plan, Defendant has agreed that the Plan’s fiduciaries will consider: (a) the lowest-cost share class available for any particular mutual fund considered for inclusion in the Plan as well as other criteria applicable to different share classes; (b) the availability of revenue sharing rebates on any share class available for any particular mutual fund considered for inclusion in the Plan; and (c) the availability of collective trusts, to the extent such investments are permissible and are otherwise identical to a particular mutual fund considered for inclusion in the Plan.
