What Does The Settlement Provide The Net Settlement Amount will be allocated to Class Members according to a Plan of Allocation to be approved by the Court. Class Members fall into two categories: Current Participants and Former Participants. Allocations to Current Participants who are entitled to a distribution under the Plan of Allocation will be made into their existing Plan accounts. Former Participants who are entitled to a distribution will receive their distribution as a check mailed to their last known address or, if they elect, as a rollover to a qualified retirement account. In addition to the monetary component of the Settlement, as discussed above, Defendant agreed that the Plan’s fiduciaries will conduct a RFP process for recordkeeping services to the Plan. 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. Defendant also will use an independent consultant familiar with fixed income investment options in such 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. 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.
