Notice ID: PMD119880061 Confirmation Code: qq96Dkx76xQ9 Legal Notice If you are an individual whose Personal Information was impacted by the March 2021 Data Breach announced by ParkMobile, a class action settlement may affect your rights. A federal court authorized this Notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.   What is this Litigation About? A proposed settlement has been reached in a lawsuit entitled Baker, et al. v. ParkMobile, LLC, Case No. 1:21-cv-02182-SCJ, pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division, relating to an unknown actor's unauthorized access to the Personal Information of ParkMobile App users. ParkMobile denies all claims alleged against it and denies all charges of wrongdoing or liability. The settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing or an indication that ParkMobile has violated any laws, but rather the resolution of disputed claims.   Am I Included? Yes. ParkMobile's records indicate your information may have been involved in the Data Security Incident.   What Benefits are Included in the Settlement? The Defendant will fund a Non-Reversionary Cash Settlement Fund in the amount of $9,000,000.00. Each Settlement Class Member will be able to elect to take a cash payment from the remainder of this fund after the payment of the Fee Award and Expenses, as well as Administration and Notice Costs, if any, exceeding the $300,000.00 Administration Fund. Payment to each Settlement Class Member who elects to take the cash payment is capped at $25.00 per class member. For each Settlement Class Member who does not elect a cash payment, at the end of the Claims Period, ParkMobile will email the Settlement Class Member a code to receive a credit in the ParkMobile App in the amount of $1.00 up to a cap of $21,000,000.00 - for the class of approximately twenty-one million Class Members. This credit will apply to the ParkMobile fee on parking transaction(s) not to the fee owed to the parking premises/owner (which is not in ParkMobile's control). The credit will sunset after one year as is required for accounting purposes, except for California residents for whom it will not sunset. In addition, the Settlement includes a $2,500,000.00 credit for business remedial measures implemented by ParkMobile. Collectively, the gross Settlement Fund is calculated at $32,800,000.00, and includes the $9,000,000.00 cash Settlement Fund, the $300,000.00 Administration Fund, the $21,000,000.00 ParkMobile app capped credit amount and the $2,500,000.00 business remedial measures.   How Do I Receive Settlement Benefits? Settlement Class Members who wish to receive a cash payment must submit a Claim Form online at www.ParkMobileSettlement.com or by mailing a completed Claim Form postmarked no later than March 5, 2025 to the Settlement Administrator. If you do not submit a Claim Form, you will receive a code for a credit in the ParkMobile App in the amount of $1.00.   What Are My Options? If you do nothing or submit a Claim Form, you will not be able to sue or continue to sue ParkMobile about the claims resolved by this Settlement. If you exclude yourself, you will not receive a cash payment or credit in the ParkMobile App, but you will keep your right to sue ParkMobile in a separate lawsuit about the claims resolved by this Settlement. If you do not exclude yourself, you can object to the Settlement. The deadline to exclude yourself from the Settlement or to object to the Settlement is February 3, 2025. Visit www.ParkMobileSettlement.com for complete details on how to exclude yourself from, or object to, the Settlement.   The Final Approval Hearing. The Court will hold a Final Approval Hearing at 10:00 a.m., on March 13, 2025, in Courtroom 1907 located at the Richard B. Russell Federal Building & United States Courthouse, 75 Ted Turner Drive SW, Atlanta, GA 30303-3309. At the hearing, the Court will consider whether the proposed Settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate. The Court may also consider Class Counsel's request for an award of attorneys' fees not to exceed 22% of the gross Settlement Fund ($32,800,000.00) and litigation expenses in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000.00. If there are objections, the Court will consider them.   This Notice is only a Summary.
